him as confessional, and there. to any
chance acquaintance. he would reveal
what appeared to be the Utmost secrets Of
his SOUL
The author tells with forcefulness
that gives assurance of his personal
knowledge of the facts he cites that
Nerlaine's early manhood might have
been examined through a microscope.
The scanda.ous legends that grew up
and spread from the seeds of his So
called confessions were baSeleSs, owing
their inception ard circulation largely to
the extraordinary faulty and bravado OF
him who was and is their victim. HE
wished to impress his contemporaries by
endowing himself with imaginary vices
and clothing himself in a garment of
depravity which only existed in his imag-
nation" Verlaine's whole heart was fill
ed with an immense love for his Wife.
whose divorce and remarriage was the
greatest tragedy of his life.
In dealing with the Brussels scandal NJ.
Lepelletier stigmatizes the attack on Yer
servants and due mainly to the allegation.
without proof. of his wife, who desired to
obtain a separation from him.
In defending the poet concerning this
blacklist incident Of his career the author
states in an introductory note that Yer
laine in one of the most critical hours of
his troubled existence, isolated, forgotten
or remembered by comrades and cotem-
poraries only to be condemned. calumni-
ateti and disoWned, wrote from his cell
in the prison at Mons on the margin of a
letter addressed to his mother this de-
spairing appeal: Let Lepelletier defend
my reputation. He is able to clear what
will soon be my memory. I rely upon
him to make me know. as l was in real
ity when I am no longer here"

ciety proceeds to think or act. The crti-
cism of the Bibles of the world has
forced every one to raise this question of
authority anew. Who is to pronounce what
is right? The ethical need is greatest
where authorities differ. where Bibles are
not explicit, or even are silent. Ethical
problems consist largely in the applica-
ton of universal principles, already com
monty admitted to new and altered cir.
cumstances, or even to new phases or
human life it grows more sensitive
from age to age. The modern engineer
has to deal with forms of force and new
enterprises which even the builders OF the
pyramids never contemplated. The text
books. the plans or maps, the rules and
methods of ancient engineers or astrono-
mers were never intended for the con-
struction of the Panama canal or for the
investigation of double stars. In the same
way we must frankly admit that the
Bibles with which we began the new
century were never intended to determine
the details of modern ethics. In MS
preface the author cites that there was
ethics seemed obscure as they appear
to many thinking people today. Strange
theories of conduct find currency and
win disciples. Moral principles which
once seemed fixed are called in question
The moral questions at issue and the
problems before civilized man take on
new scale of immensely. The substance
of the book was given in course of lee
lures before the Brooklyn institute.

Paul Verlane has found a courageous
champion in NJ. Lepelletier whose in
timacy with tie poet began in school
days lasted many years and still lives
to clear his dead friends name. While
disclaiming any desire to present Verlaine
as a saint, or even a model citizen. his
biographer declares that he was not the
licentious reprobate that literary gossip
asserts. Paul Verlaine dug the grave of
his own reputation. He enjoyed the
dramatic effect of posing as past master
of vice, a ST. Augustine of the wine
shops who did not lack ST. Monica for
he frequently invoked the name of his
good and pious mother. 1t was always
his pleasure to make the worst of him
self. He beat a drum around the imagin-
airy debaucheries with which he publicly
reproached himself, while regrettng in
his utmost heart that he was utterly in
nocent of them. In fact, he was great
romancer. The poor fellow loved open
confession, to pour out his heart in prose
