no good humor.
He did not trouble himself to reflect that,

was nearly as well furnished as his own room

the fact that he was a prisoner, WHICH was

A little essay Oh The Fallacy of Spccialism
In 'The Dial contains some excellent Obscrva-
tiOns The writer protests against the familiar
assumption that because Il man is, for example,
q distinguished naturalist are justified in
taking seriously his Fantastic imaginngs' on,
say socialism or astronomy. Even more ener-
getic is the protest against the manner in which
specialists are appointed to coEduct the irstruc-
tion in English i'll our universities In nine
eases out of ten the Instructors credentials for
the performance of his function are supplied by
some fragment of technical linguistic nVestiga-
ton or the critical examination Of some obscure
author or exceptionally barren period of litera-
ture." This is bad enough. but as though to
turn the whole thing into grim joke the in
structOr whose little Speciality has won him the
opportunity to talk to young studcnts-and TO
talk generally in vain-on subjects that ought TO
be made inspiring, carries himself with unspeak-
able arrogance.
The man who is conscious Of knowing more
than other scholars about some special subject
is pretty apt to magnify his own importance,
and To affect (perhaps really to fee) only SCorn
for those men who believe that breadth of view
md philosophical grasp more to be desired
than any Of the ends of SpeCialism. He regards
himself and his fellow specialists the only
properly accredited members of the guild of
scholarship and has at his command an array
of contcmptuous epithcts for those who pretend
10 scholarly distinction upon any other basis.
Whoever would rashly enter the sacred bounds
without Goct0Tal dissertation for a passport
must be sent about his business, must be forced
TO haunt forever the limbo of amateurs.
1t is a just Indictment. which should fro
quently be brought to the attention of those
having authority in scholastic matters.

That there could remain anything new to be
said about the career of the brilliant Mary
Wortley Montagu has seemed unlikely. But
something the writer known rs George Pas
ton has discovered among the WOrtlcy Montagu
manuscripts at SaEdon Hall. Upward Of a hun
drcd unpublished letters from the hand Of Lady
Mary and fifty or sixty written by Wortley Mon
tasu are included in the mass of highly inter
csting correspondence of the early eighteenth
century. These letters have considerably en-
livened an oft repeated tale and have provided
q curious picture of courtship in the days Of
Queen Anne No more extraordinary cOrre-
sPondenCe, il is certain, ever passed between two
lovers than that between this clever. cold
hearted grandson of the first Earl of Sandwich
and the beautiful young daughter Of Lord King
