Mr. Merediths fame rests mainly on his
extraordinary skill in depicting character.
He could tell a tale as simply any one.
but some of his most notable works de-
pend hardly at all on their story. In
sight. acute psychology and unfaltering
sureness of touch in analysis have en-
abled him to reveal to his readers the
types Of the men and women whom they
meet in everyday life.
His style was his own, and has defed
his imitators. OF 1T Andrew Lang has
said:
"Mr. Meredith may err in a willful OBJ
scurity, in a too eager search for points
and epigrams, In the leaps and bounds OF
too agile a wit, and these things have
harmed and will harm his popularity But
like the crudeness of Mr.. Browning they
only endear him more TO an inner circle
Of admirers"
j. NJ Barrie has told how Mrs. Car
lyle was at first repelled by the style OF
Richard Feverel, and threw 1t aside till
she was reconciled to his yoke. and
added: "It is Mr.. Meredith's wit that
wearies many Of his readers. He is. |
think, the greatest wit this country has
produced. OF pathos OF the quieter sort
there is not much in Mr.. Meredith's
works. The wit tends to wrap something
around his heart; 1t is not tears. but awe,
he inspires"

$1.25 and a few car tickets.
A report of the case was made to the
