A Cat Out of Our Bag
BY GEORGE GORDON.

NIT long ago wrote to the editor Of
4 ' Books and the Book World, saying,
81 am George Gordon, and I liked
your review of my Airy Nothings." He
answered that he was glad to, as it were,
meet me-who will, on occasion, split an
infnitive with his reader as gracefully as
the average bottle of beer: but that the
review in question was written by Mr.
Barrett H. Clark, to whom he had fer
warded my letter.
This was embarrassing. The review was
anonymous. For the sake of good meas
ure 1 had reflected all the glory of Books
and the Book World upon my critic. had
probably convinced him forever of my
desire to flatter and so win an easy place
in letters. Why had he not signed his
articlef With initialsf B. CT
Again the editor was ready with evasion.
Readers are so literal-minded. They would
have interpreted B. c. as the date, accus-
ing The Sun Of lifting whole passages
out of Herodotus and the Gallo Wars,
taking it for granted that Airy Nothings
was a new translation of some obscure
Sapphic Ode, mere fragment, torn and
twisted by the centuries, scarce a dozen
lines surviving.

JOHNSON: In the first place we learn
