MEREDITH UNFINISHED TALE.

Celt and Saxon. By George Meredith
Published by Charles Scrbner's Sons.
New York.
This is the uncompleted work which
was on this famous writer's hands
when he died. Those in charge of his
effects have very wisely, perhaps, TAX
ing lesson from the lamenta BILE failure
of the finishing of Dickenss "Edwin
brood, decided not to let anyone com
plete this novel. The work is one of
great subtlety and power, showing the
famous writer's qualities in the best
possible light 1t deals much with the
contest between England and Ireland,
and labors to show that England is a
good friend to Ireland in spite of the
protestations to the. contrary by the
Irish leaders, There is, of course, n
due. amount of love-making and of
badinage between the sexes. and the
dialogue is pat graceful, and strong.
it Is pity that Mr. Meredith did not
live to complete this work, for it gives
promise of being the very best he ever
did AT the time of his death he was
ut his best. with his ripeness of learn
ing and of activity unimpaired His
admirers Will inevitably search out and
read tins work, and in it's great quail
ties they will not be disappointed
Though fragment, it is notable one,
and IS certain to be much admired.
