1t is not improbable that the young authors
Of France would do work quite as clever and
courageous as that which they now produce
and work infinitely finer In grain, IL it were
not for that very fact Of belonging to given

with a specific movement which they fondly
take to be Indispensable TO their existence. This
pre-occupatiOn with narrowly formulated prn-
cipcs and the Ideals Of a handful of ephemeral
headers" makes steadily for self Consciousness
and the substitution of Fictitious theories for
unfOrced inspiration We are accustomed now
adays TO see many a promising talent wthercd
by efforts TO adjust itself TO the taste of this or

sort OF thing occurs In England they still talk

about this scheme for making a national utera-

consciousness shows itself chiefly among the
writers of fiction, who frequently subordinate
the novelsts duty as a story teller to the queer
