When Professor Harper published seven or
eight years ago, collection of essays on Mas
ters Of French Literature We were especially
struck by the excellence of the pages therein
devoted to Sainte-Beuve. They were not per-
feet pages but they disclosed large measure
of sympathy for the great critic, and it is not
surprising to find their author undertaking a
fuller study of his theme He has kndled to 1t,
after a fashion, and has produced interesting
and stimulating book, if not one that is alto
