that a man was 10 be burnt alive at Lucca
for SacTilege. He proposes that Lord
Blyronl and party of English shall enter

Lord BIyronl objects but wishes TO draw

till > o'clock.
Anecdotes like the foregoing do more
than all the special pleading in the world
to withdraw the mind from cOntempla-
tion of Shelley's weakness and fix it
upon his strength. Byron said: You
are all mistaken about Shelley; you do
not know how mild, how tolerant. how
good he was" one may not swallow
that tribute whole but at any rate one
can feel the basis of truth that IT had

many another illustrating the poets gem
erous instincts, his courage, his almost
childlike sympathy for mankind. These
aspects Of his character crop out again
and again i'm Mrs. Angels book. She.
too has her sentimental streak. but IT
does not dominate. and turning her
pleasantly written pages we are not only
interested but see the poet once more in
just perspective The volume is, by
the way. charmingly illustrated, the
pictures. in color and in monotone, Of
the scenes linked with Shelleys MEM
ory really adding something TO the text.
Mr. Gosse's edition Of The Sensitive
Plant" is q holiday book, in which the
illustrations. drawn by Mr.. Charles Rob-
inson. challenge immediate attention.
They arc very clever and picturesque,
those which follow the more eerie sug-
gestions in the poem making a particu-
larly good impression Mr.. Robinson's
technique is equal to his fancy This ac-
commitment of his is in Sheley's spirit
and il is workmanlike. Every stanza Of
the text has "A page to itself. printed in
handsome type. and with a small sketch
for pendant. The pure black and
whites in the book are in the manner of
Aubrey Beardsley, an apt choice which
has produced results intrinsically deco
rative and very sympathetic.
OF course there is a woman in the his
tory of THE Sensitive Plant" and Mr..
Gosse is amusing about Lady Mount
ca3hell, with whom Shelley read Greek
in whose garden he found his scene and
whose friendship gave him his inspira-
ton The lady was then near fifty.
Twenty years earlier she had been de-
scribed by Goodwin as "uncommonly tall
and brawny, with bad teeth, white eyes
and handsome countenance, but with
gigantic arms, which she commonly
folds, naked and exposed almost to the
shoulders This time Shelley was not
precisely in love. Lady Mountcashell
stands more for that purely imaginative

Literary .Nes0s and Criticism

With nice complacency this biographer
says. Let Charles Clarmont speak, ana
proceeds to quote a letter from that IN
dividual blowing upon Harriets char-
acter. Why i'm the world should we at
tach any importance to the views OF
Charles Clairmont? Was he not mem
her of that ineffabe set in which clear
ana wholesome thinking on moral issues
was smothered in egotistical eccen-
tricity? But we forget. Under the
Shellyan hypothesis anybody who can
contribute toward the shading Of the
poets black into gray and so give IL
chance to moduate into white, is to be
accepted as an authority.

been drugged may hc pardoned If they
