Carlyle on Novels.

SAFlyio Or NoVetV.
A letter of Carlyles gives US the
opinion of novels entertained by him
in the year 1866. To a budding story
teller he wrote to suggest that she
should "shove her own novel well
aside for a good while or forever and
be shy even Of reading novels. II she
do read, let 1t be good and wise books
which not one in ten thousand Of the
kind now called novels Is"
And yet Carlyle was himself guilty
Of at least beginning to write novel.

asserts with the enthusiasm of an or
