TIME HAPPILY SPENT
LITERARY WORK INVOLVING
ENORMOUS LABOR.
Famous Historians Spent Larger Part
Of Lifetime In Collecting Materials
for VoIumes-Scott a Notable
Exception,

Buckle devoted nearly twenty
years to the collection of material for
his History of Civilization" He
wrote only a portion of the introduc.
tion, which remains a monument to
his literary achievements. If the work
had been finished on the same scale
as begun a hundred volumes would
have scarce su1iced.
Bancroft devoted nearly thirty
years to his History of the United
States" which, strictly speaking, Is
not q history of the country at all,
since it ends where the history of the
United States properly begins. Had
the work been continued on the same
scale down to the present he must
have written se~venty-1ve Of eighty vol.
ines.
Scott is said to have written Wa
verley'' in less than six weeks. He
composed very rapidly, seldom re-
vtsed, and as a consequence his now
els contain many errors Of fact and
anachronisms.
Burns committed his poems to mem.
DRY before he wrote them, and when
he sat down to write he had before
him little labor Of composition, since
he had only the task of writing down.
that what he had already finished.
A period Of 20 years was consumed
by Gibbon in the labor Of writing the
Decline and Fall Of the Roman En-
pire." This was one Of the most stu.
| pendous literary feats ever accom-
pltshed by one man.
It took Thomas Moore two years
to search for and prepare the mate
rial necessary to the composition of
"LalIa Rookh," and two additional
years were required for the actual
writing of that work. -
George Eliot Is said to have written
"Middlemarch" in four months. Some
doubt, however, ia est upon this state
ment by the fact that she commonly
worked with. great ARE and dedberas
ton, and made few erasures after tha
work was done. =

field" Dickens says he spent two yea<@

did not usually require SO long a time
many of his novels being finished In
a year, and most Of tho short stories
In q few days. .
Though 1t is said that Congrsve
could prepare a drama for the stage
in a few days, four or five times that
period was given to the work OF re.
vision and reconstruction after the
play was given to the actors.
Nearly we years vas taken by tv.
ing in the writing of The Life Of
George Washington" though it. re-
CURED no more than ten days to write
the first 100 pages Of "Bracebridge
Hall" The Alhambra" was written
during the three months he spent in
that palace.
Froude consumed seven years in the
preparation of materials for and in
the writing of his History Of Eng
land" He was very accurate, and
often spent days in an effort to verify
a single date or fact.

Critic of Riches,

| Here is a comment by an acute OBJ
server of the effect of wealth on the
conduct of its p~ossessors. ~
"And henceforth they Lress forward
on the path of money getting. losing
their esteem for virtue a the esteem
for wealth grows upon them. For can
you deny that there is such a gulf be-
tween wealth and virtue that when
weighed as it were in the two scales Of
a balance, one of the two always falls
Rs the other rises?"
The gentleman who made these OBJ
servations as to the demoralizing TEN
dency of great riches lived 2,300 years
ago. His name was Plato.

Sad limo for Ersnohnsn.

One hundred years ago the convens
ton of Paris was concluded between
France and the victorious allies. This
convention preceded the drawing up
Of the formal treaty which was to
determine the position of monarchlcaI
France in Europe. In general, It re-
stored the boundaries of France as
they had been in 1872. before the
Napoleonic conquests. All the vast
territory outside of France that had
comprised the empire Of NapoaeCnl
was taken from her at one stroke &C
the pen. 80 much bloodshed to nol
purpose" said the historian of the
times, 80 much wealth spent withone
result" Small wonder, then, that 6sS
entire French nation experienced q
painful sense OF depression and that
the restoration Of the monarchy axr
cited E.le interest, much las -sns
