reported fayorably upon them. No
doubt this is so. The opinion OF one
of the learned men OF the society
probably is worth more in n matter

Rcturn Of the Essay.

The essay, a decade ago, seemed 70
have had its last a1thor in Robert
Louis Stevenson. A London critic OF
eminence spoke of Miss Agnes Re
ulier. of Philadelphia. as the last sur
vivor Of her chaft in the light and
abusive essay, and rightly held her
equal 10 comparison with any of her
predecessors.
The short story had almost wholly
expelled the essay from the maya
zine. The publishers were chary OF
accepting volume of studies in the
essay vein or in more serious crit
cism. The pub ic justified this re-
fusal by reading no new essays and
forsaking the old essayists.
Mr.. A c. Benson five years ago
was. perhaps, the first to revive the
essay in his charming studies, wn CT
began at Elton and ended at Oxford.
