SOME PEN NAMES.
From Plato and VOltaire to Those
of the Present Time.

It is a curious fact that two Of the men who
have largely Influenced the worlds thinking are
known both in history and in their works by
pseudonymes. Reference is made TO Plato and to
Voltaire None save close students Of history or
those whose attention the fact has been called
are aware that the real name Of the Greek phil
osopher who gave to the world the teaching of
Socrates and much wider deductions therefrom was
Aristocles That has been lost in the nists
OF antiquity, but it what given TO him by
his father Ariston, in the fifth century before
Christ when the greatest expositor of idealsnl
who has largely controlled the progress OF specu-
lative thought down to the present day. was born
The name Plato. which is the Latin form of the
Greek Platon, meaning broad. was bestowed on
him derisivey. as a nickname, on account OF his
broad shoulders. But he accepted Il and made it
far more famous than his patronynlic.
The French OF letters who made the name
voltaire famous In the early part the eighteenth
century bore the bap ptismal name Of Francois
Marie, bestowed by his father. M. Arouet. Born in
1884 1t when he was twenty-four years old
and his tragedy "Gdfpe'' had been performed that
he assumed the Voltaire. which he after
ward attached to all his published works. 1t has
never been settled what was the origin or the sig
niicance of the name which young Arouet made
more and widely known by the work Of his
pen The career of the author has been summed
up as follows: "As writer Voltaire is not. per
haps the author OF a single great masterpiece;
but every OF his productions. at least in prose-
presents to unsurpassed example of clear
ness perspicuity and wit He wrote In order to
convince and 80 far succeeded that many of his
writings have to a certain extent lost their in
terest because of the very destruction OF the
abuses against which they were directed"
Perhaps the most notable pen name in English
literature Is that of Junius. which was attached
to a series of seventy letters on public af-
fairs in England, which appeared in THE
Public Advertiser of London, between 1859 and
1772 and afterward were reprinted In book FORM
The intimate knowledge showr. OF matters supposed
TO be known only to those high in state led TO
their being attributed to a number of pubic men.
but there is a general consensus of opinion that
the author was Sir Philip Francis. who was in
position to know of many matters treated in the
letters at first hand and who had been school
mate of the publisher of the newspaper in which
they appeared who also published the books en-
.i.,I The Letters of Junus." The handwriting OF
