has been its richness in works of n biographical

There is no lack of excellent histories OF Eng
lish literature suited to the conventional needs
of conventional readers Such histories are
often little more than elaborated chronologies
in which every scrap of prose and verse from
Anglo-Saxon down to the latest novel finds
place. Should anybody in search of such an
encyclopaedia pick up this second volume of Nj
Jusserands work. he might at first glance be
sorely puzzled and perhaps even disappointed:
for this literary history of the English people is
as different from the ordinary history of Ems

The freshness OF certain novel recently
printed leads the London saturday Review"
to remark upon one great mystery concerning
fiction OF the sort "Onc marycS not so much
at the lack Of taste which makes such imita-
tons OF literature possible and profitable" says
the critic, but at the utter infestiyity of ex-
istence to which such stuff as this comes as a
relief He supposes that most novels are
read either for the pleasure they afford or the
occupation they offer" and therefore he feels
"bewildered sympathy with the tediurn OF any
life to which the reading of such n book could
bring enjoyment" We have often pondered
this same mystery, but while we have given il
up as insoluble we have nevertheless noted one
or two facts which throw little light on the
SUBJECT There are many people who suffer n
curious atrophy of the will when they begin TO
read any book. They have queer conscicn-
tousness and will doggedly finish it though it
Is boring them to death. They scarcely know
that they are being bored, their sense of duty
Is 30 strong ParadoXicalIy too. these readers
are very timid If they see it stated in print
that book is good they will read il 10 the
bitter end and doubt the evidence of their own
sersca In short, the vogue OF a good deal OF
sad stuff is due to nothing more nor less than
a kind OF hypnOtism, the victims Of which show
a really touching gratitude when relief is
brought to them. They are not necessarily
types of Grass intellectual vulgarty. Often
they are merely types of childlike simplicity
