SUNDAY, JULY 21, 1907,

An int resting question of literary morality
has been raised by the recent publication of Mr.
Wilfrid ScaWpu BluntS Secret History of the
Occupation of Egypt" He has been taken to
task for publishing old letters and CONVERSE
tons OF public men who are still living, and he
has srrt to Tile AthcnTum a long defence of
his course. The only question to determine"
he maintains, rs at what precise point the
necessities of current politics. which admit of
lying, end and History, which demands truth
ana truth only. may begin To say her word. Is
it to be after one hundred or fifty or after what
lesser number of years, or generally after the
Heath Of all concerned, or, again, when no one
living can seriously be injured?' He explains
that much historical and biographical matter
has been published without establishing the
truth as to Egyptian matters and that, believing
his knowledge on the subject to be of value, he
dec ed to publish las decides on calling
out TO a traveller taking a wrong road" He
pt uts out that if he had asked permission to
/blish the letters and remarks of certain per
Tnagcs still living THE conventions of dpl0-
macy and official life would have certainly
obliged all these old friends to say No" Yet
MI Blunt leaves the question just where he
found it.

When "Thc Monthly Review" sank beneath
tie western pines the other day it attracted
attention by printing. n kind Of farewell to
criticism, an excessively tart essay on the novels
OF Thomas Hardy. The author of this prOduc-
ton, Mr. Lindsay Garrett. has duly been taken
to task for his impcrtncnce, but this is small
comfort TO some commentators. They agonize
over the wicliednCsS of talking about Mr. Hardy
though he We're an ordinary mortal. Well,
dare say that Mr.. Hardy will survive the
animadYcrSiOns of Mr.. Lindsay Garrett. More
over, this episode involves point which is too
little considered and on which current opinion
might well be revised. No critic worth his salt
can fail in reverence for Il genuine master Of
literature, but critic is worth his salt who
swallows whole whatever such master chooses
10 give him, whether good or bad. That, how
ever is just what is done to extraordinary
extent to-day. If George Meredith chooses to
say something in print on a subject of public
interest, fidelity TO his novels causes his read
ers to receive it as though it were a sublime
revelation To these readers some unintercst-
ing pronouncemcnt Of Mr. Swinburnc's appears
to lac freGhted with all Of the magic of his
when writer's Of cmincncc are concerned. 1t is
perhaps an amiabc failing to always take them
seriously. But the droll thing is that the same
misplaced confidence is exhibited with reference
to almost any living writer who has once ac-
qurcd a reputation That reputation is sup
posed TO act automatically investing with a
certain saACtty every thing that the owner Of it
does. Respect for good work done in the past
paralyZcs criticism. and bad work done in the
present is -rcated with excessive good nature.
