CHARLES DICKENS
An Exhibition of His Works at
the Grolier Club.

The latest of those exhibitions which
the Grolier Club periodically arranges
for book lovers is devoted 10 the works
OF Dickens. II presents n wonderful
array OF first editions. manuscripts.
portraits and personal relies. The
catalogue OF nearly three hundred and
fifty numbers gives an impressive idea
Of the riches in American collections.
The latter have been drawn upon by
the Grolier Club with pretty definite
purpose. This was to present the
works Of the great writer in chronology
cal order, as they appeared In numbers
or In volume form. These souvenirs,
invaluable to the photographer and
full OF a subtle fascination for the gen
eral reader, make the backbone OF the
show
II is good to see what those immortal
books looked like when first they took
the world by storm, to follow their
typographical fortunes, II We may so
express 1t, and to observe in the right
atmosphere what the illustrators like
Cruikshank and "Phiz" had to do with
that historic success. All the early

The insinuating art Of one Of the sub

beautifully exercised in all three Of the
stories brought together in this volume
Mr.. Conrad knows we'll how to blend
the local with the universal. He goes
far for his motive his exotic themes
are enveloped in the strange lights and
colors of distant seas. The captain
whose story is told in ~ Smile Of
Fortune finds his bitter drama in A
remote tropical island, and that other
mariner who harbors fugitive from

likewise under alien skies. Only in the
East. finally, could Mr.. Conrad have
developed the tragedy Of "Freya Of the
Seven Isles" But from beginning to
end his faraway, exceptional types are
