A new edition of great literary success"
of a former day, Walpole'S Castle of Otranto,"
is presently coming out. Possibly the author
himself. could he speak, would deprecate the
republication of this attempt to blend the mar
vellous of old story with the natural of modern
novels" Writing of it-"a frantic thing"-to
Hannah More, he adds "It was fit for moth
ing but the age in which il written; an
age in which much was known, that required
only to be amused, nor cared whether its amuSe-
mentS were cOnformable to truth and the mod
els of good sense; that could not be spoiled, was
in no danger of being too credulOuS; and rather
wanted to be brought back to Imagination than
to be led aStray by it" The cynical Horace was
in reality not half so modest in regard to his
novel rs he would fain have been thought
lie certainly liked to tell his correspondents
it had been much read and much commended
The fortune it is likely to enjoy in the forth
coming new edition is easily enough foretold
The book will be read for n little while, talked
about for little while, and then allowed to
subSide into that corner of the library which
is only visited by the man OF letters and the
ConnoSScur in literary curiOsities. But The
Castle of OtrantO" cannot die utterly. In all
the fantasticaI fiction OF that period-ln which
it played so unexpectedly conspicuous part
you find a spark of life, the instinct for ro-
nance which is part and parcel of human
nature

This new volume of the clever Adele dc
Boigne's memoirs is as fascinating as was the
first volume published a few months ago. and
reviewed in this place. Her pictures of Court
life and society during the Restoration are as
vivid as were those earlier "reminiscences of the
France of Louis XVI and of the Revolution
They are set forth with equal frankness and
shrewdness sometimes with prejudice, always
with a sure grasp on what was interesting in
experience and character.

The attributes Of a competent critic are thus
described by Mr.. Augustine BirrcI in ''The Con

of mOdesty and truth, with high standard OF
excellence, gained by an affectiOnate study OF

modern. and a QuGntum Suf., of mother-wit"
Apropos of the knowledge and sympathy neces-
sary to the critic, Mr.. Brrel tells this anec-

ton Of Scldens Table Talk" The learned man

himself within the compass OF dozen studious
years 10 add few really explanatory notes 10

now. We like the comments of An Old Re

courtesy" on which Mr. A G. Benson was.

this shrewd observer points out that the true
critic must regard the point as irrelevant.

It is a great thing for the lover Of literature
20 preserve the Illusions In which literature
abounds. But just how far should he 80 in the
comfortable process of preserving them? Should
he merely exercise special prudence when list

that restless busy body with joyous prejudice
and contempt? One complainant asserts that
there is hardly 4 beautiful incident or char

been challenged during our generation by some
