Hugo was an appalling bounder, per-
son merely disgusting in the gratifica-
ton of his se,1shness. Nor did he con-
fine his ruthlessness to the sacrifice Of
duty and propriety in his domestic af-
fairs. Mr.. Davidson recites the story
of an attack upon Dumas promoted by
Hugo in a spirit Of revenge, and he
adds that 1T is not the only instance
Of pettiness which the career OF the
great poet affords" He was petty and
mean because he had an unreasonable
vanity, and because, at the bottom Of
all his high sounding eloquence on
Mankind, he did not even know how to
love men better than himself. Through
his incessant defamation on noble
themes we detect an incurabe small
ness Of soul. It was his good fortune
to have just enough of the authentic
fire to touch mems hearts, for time,
when he spoke Of love and pity. But
as the years go on those dramatic
periods Of his emit ever a follower and
a follower sound.
