In some pages of speculation on the arts In
the current number of "HarperS Magazine"
Mr. Alden has good word to say for the Illus
traitor. "The art of pictorial illustration in
black and white" he observes, while it has
achieved notable triumphs, especially in Pc
riodical literature, in the graphic representa-
ton of our everyday life, and in sketches OF |
travel has done its best for fiction, in the por-
traiture of character, giving extreme visualiza-
ton to the imaginative creations of the novel
ist" This is indeed tribute for which the illus
TRAITOR ought to be grateful. To critcise it at
all might seem, perhaps, little ungraci0Us
American illustrators have often developed re-
markable technical aptitude, and an opinion on
their work in 1.-THE portraiture of character"
from an editor of Mr.. Alden's experience is not
to be taken lightly. Nevertheless, when he says
of these artists that they were the first to
abjure insipid types Of merely physical beauty"
constrained to note that this is not pre-
cisely the achievement for which we would be
inclined to do honor to the typical illustrators of
the day. On the contrary, these industrious and
very popular gentlemen seem to have made
more or less insipid ideal of physical beauty
the object Of their unremitting pursuit Their
heroines are almost invariably of the same sort
of cheap prettiness and their TALL broad Shout
dered, clean shaven young heroes might all
have been cut from one pattern. They are
enormously clever, but it seems odd to praise
them for grasp on character.
That welcome thing, new edition of Thack-
cray, is always coming from the press. One
more is now in sight, edited by Professor Saints
bury, who abiding to the introductions he has
written for the various volumes, justifies the
study embodied in them in the saying that sit is
of al author who has been for more than forty
years more frequently in the hands and more
constantly in the head and heart of the student
than any other in prose, and almost than any
other in rhyme" A confession Ike this, show
ing how firm fixed is Professor SaintSbury'S
heart in the right place. ought almost to win
forgiveness for those fearSome viVacit1es which
are in such quaint contrast to the learning he
also puts into his writings He adopts a
chronological order in his arrangement of the
novels, and this should give interesting con-
tinuity to the series of essays he has prepared
for the edition 1t is good to observe also that
while he proposes to give US the absolutely COM
plete works of Thackeray, he has no intention
of ''piling on the agony" after the fashion of
those latter day editors" who endeavor to col
lect every scrap from the pen of a famous au-
thor, making great play over this or that item
which they assume to Identify on internal evil
dence." In these matters some sense of what is
due to a great writer is Indispensable in an
editor.

The inarticulate readers of the world give 4
great deal of trouble to the superior person.
What do they read? Why do they read it?
And why do they not read something else?
There have been some meetings Of the Library
Association in England recently, and the DELHI
eratiOns of the members have provoked OBJ
servationS like the following, which we find in
the London Outlook" on the use which the
people make of free libraries: with the multi
plication of books and the increased facilities to
read them,' says this solcitous philosopher,
there appears TO be danger Of mental repIe-
ton; and it may be we'll to consider how far
free libraries cOnduce to the intellectual growth
of the people. There is a treless thirst for
reflection is too frequently absent" These
being fine mouth filling periods, but the author
of them somehow fails to establish any ilumi-
mating relation between them and the facts as
regards free libraries. He notes with gravity
that at is frequently asserted that the bulk of
the books is fiction" That point was bound to
crop out. To tell the truth, it is beginning TO
be a little tiresome We wonder if it has never
occurred to the wseacres who tear their hair
over the popular consumption of novels, as in
dicated in library records, that many reader
deliberately uses library for this purpose be-
cause he likes to save for books OF permanent
value such money as he has to spend on his own
Shelves.
