MEREDITH TWICE OBSCURED.

DOCKS about books often make most delightful
- reading for all book lovers But to achieve
this end the writer mnst have something to say
combined with charm of style and total absence
of pedantry Since none of these prerequisites are
possessed by J. II. Z. CREss. his volume entitled
George Meredih: A Study of His Works and Per-
sonality New York: Longmans, Green & Co. So
resolves itself into deadly bore couched in most
affected style of thought and expression
Even the most ardent admrer of the author Of
The Ordeal of Richard Fcrerel will find it mpossi
BILE to swallow such highfalutin as this: with
MEREDITH we climb to the Andes of the intellect,
and the vastness of the prospect, the radiance of
the sun illumnng many different Intellectual
Kingdoms atOnes for the touch of frost in the air
But the thin 9ther is trial for weak hearts and
lungs. Not all can scale these heights, still fewer
can abide Oh those lone ablelands of intellect Yet
the hardened mountaineer will win full many a
thrill of sudden discovery such as he can never
gain in softer cmes."
Let us come back to earth then where the going
is not so difficult What Mr. CREss has done is to
illustrate what he considers MEREDITHs varying
moods and periods under such heads as The Comic
Sprit-The Sentimenfalist, Youth, Meredith the
Artist, by selecting from among his tales the ones
he thinks fit these several headings, and retelling
them in outline. With the addition Of unoriginal
"literary' comments such as, obviously, then,
one dchotomy of the novel mil ht be the technique
of narrative and philosophy"
There are plenty of unregenerate souls who find
it difficult enough to read MEREDITH in the original
To read him through Mr.. CREss S translation is
forbdding and joyless task.
