mad grave fears that the book might not prove
worth while 1t is written in the form OF letters
and epistolary novels are apt to be terribly dull
There is not dull page in Listeners Lure"
1t is quaint, original piece of composition
Inc hero. If he may be called hero, is a man
OF letters who has said goodby to his first youth,
ana to make matters worse. has resolved con-
ciusively to separate himself from the heroine, a
ward OF his, who has long been helping him on
the making Of new edition of Boswell's John
son." He sends her up to London where one
OF his friends finds position for her, and he
goes of upon his travels. But Mr.. Lucas Is
cannv. He places his charming Miss Edith
among people whose foibles provide good mats
rial for clever letter writer. or who are them
selves apt with the pen. Furthermore, he gives
his hero all manner Of amusing things to write
about The result Is sheaf OF altogether ad-
mirable correspondence, sometimes tender and
sometimes drol, sometimes giving the most be-
quilting revelations Of this or that Iovable char
acter and sometimes exhibiting poor human ma
ture in the absurdest lights
We have known Mr.. Lucas In the character OF
essaylst before, but never has he used the true
essayists gift so artlessly, so divertingly as IN
this book. He is not yet so absolutely the mas
ter Of his instrument as to make It do invariably
just what he would have IT do. Writing letters
for a number Of different, very different people
in this book. he occasionally forgets>to remem-
Der to differentiate between them. and though
the pen is supposed to be the pen OF a fictitious
parsonage, the voice is plainly the voice Of Mr.
Lucas This. however. is the only artistic defect
in a remarkably artistic story. and, to tell the
truth. IT does little to spoil pleasure in what
counts for most in Listeners Lure" the at
mosphere. This breathes not only of wit and
humor, Of reading and observation, but Of GEN
tleness, kindness and, IN short unqualified fine
feeling. 1t IS miscellaneous kind OF volume
The talk rambles everywhere. from serious
thoughts on death TO mere jokes. Nevertheless
it is all Of piece. and makes us feel once mora
that MI Lucas is one Of the most deserving
candidates for literary distinction we have en-
countered in many q year

The first impression received from an exam
ination Of this latest publication of the work of
Bishop Stubs is that it is much to be regretx
that the volume has heen SO long DELAYED
Bishop Stubs was one of the pioneers of mod
ern historical writing; and so we'll did he do his
work that very little of 1t has required material
alterat ton. Yet much has been done since the
time of his activity; and 1t is inevitable that
lectures delivered over twenty years ago should
now appear somewhat imperfect and belated
The manner in which Mr.. Hassall has edited
Dr. Stubbss work has, also, the effect OF height
ening rather than diminishing this sense of
belatedness 1t may be modesty in the editor
who is probably more familiar with DR.. Stubbs's
writings than any other man either in England
or in this country, that he has so completely
suppressed his own personality and has con-
fined his work to a short preface. a careful elu-
cidation Of the Bishops manuscript. and the
quotation Of about half dozen more recent
authorities in the footnotes. But the reader
feels inclined TO wish that Mr.. Hassau had also
added a few words Of explanation 10 each lect-
ure giving the date Of its composition and its
place in the order Of the authors work From
internal evidence it clear that the earliest
Of the lectures was given soon after the publ
cation of DR.. Stubbs's Select Charters" which
appeared in 1870, and that some OF the lectures
embody material which used either before
or afterward in the Constitutional History,
the last volume Of which appeared in 1878 These
are however, the only indications which can be
found OF the date of the lectures; and II these
indications point correctly to the middle fUs
or the early SOS as the period at which
the lectures were delivered. the feeling OF be-
latedness must give way to one OF genuine and
increased admiration of the thorough and able
work done in English history by the most cru
dite of nineteenth century bishops.
Dr. Stubs was q true historian He pos
sessed to the full the historical spirit and his
torical insight In the words OF Professor
George Burton Adams. OF Yale. which are as
applicable to this new volume az they are 70
