full by reason of it's vituperation. as
when he described the Globe newspa-
per as that rumble tumble of filth
and beastly ignoranceo and Denman
as the dirty bill of Indictment draw
er" for the Broughhams and the
Greys. Probably the saying is in Cob
belts English grammar. We were
reminded of it by reading about John
Walter, the founder of the London
Times. That journal was at first
printed geographically: that is, a
number of words and phrases were
cast entire, to save compositors the
trouble of collecting type. Thus these
phrases were on single block:
Dreadful robbery" "atrocious out
rage" fearful calamity" interesting
female" There are writer's today who
always: join the same adjective to GER
tain nouns, just as it is easy to fall
into the trick of characterizing a per-
son or qualifying thing by applying
three adjectives, as the Irish lady was
described in her epitaph as "bland,
passionate and deeply religious"
They say that Kinglake, writing "The
Invasion of the Crimea," worked for
a number Of hours and left spaces
for adjectives. He then rode on horse
back, meditated the fitting adjectives,
and on his return inserted them. Was
1t not Daudet who said that the ad-
1ective should never be the legitimate
wife of the substantive? Look through
"Gulliver's Travels" mark the sobri-
ETY. in the use of words, and note the
strength and authority thus gained.
Lafcadio Hearns description of the
Windward islands is in striking con-
trast-the style is as lush as the
tropical vegetation; the reader should
don colored spectacles. Yet with a
few adjectives Poe and Coleridge
could work wonders, and Walt Whit
man was often fortunate, as when he
spoke of the gorgeous, indolent
sum-" the sun $50 calm and naughty"
mad, naked summer night" Phillip
Hale, In Boston Herald.
