THE FIRST YEAR.

w ITH this number Books and the B0ok World
w begins the second year of its existence. We
believe that we shall make much more interesting
paper than We have made in the past twelve months
j.. In first year have listed and tried to de-
scribe adequately for readers perhaps 200 new
books; of these possibly one-haf have had more ex-
tended notice than is given in the space recording
Books Receivcd All that is routine, of course; but
if the routine performance has not been good moth
ing else is of any account soever The prime thing
is to tell Interestingly the news of new books
In a drawer of the desk on which this is written
are delightful letters from readers. We should
like to print them, but the space needed for book
news and may not be yielded for what, after all,
might be an exhibition of vanity however harmless

their praise

Ruthless? You Wait.

IL so far you are surprised and delighted with
Sir ARTHUR, see now the way he Is capable, without
strain and rancor, without the least art-Alecking
rather with urbane good nature and playful ease
of pitching the Philosophical Systematizcr out the
window:
- L propose TO say few words upon two terms
Classical and Romantic with which your hand
books to English Literature have doubtless by this
time made you familiar though you will not find
them frequently mentioned in the masterpieces
of which those handbooks are supposed to
Il would could persuade you to remember that
you English, and TO 90 always for the thing
casting out of your vocabulary all such words as
tendencies Influences 'revivalS, 'revOts
Tendencies did not write The Canterbury Tales;
GEoFFREY CHAU'ER wrote them. Influences did
not make The Eperie Quecne; EDMUND SpENsER
made it: called Ben JoNsoN wrote The
.4Ichen,ist, man called SHERIDAN wrote The
Riuals, called MEREDITH wrote The Egoist
Now it is the weakness of Germans in criticism
that, not having literature of their own to rank
with the great, but being endowed as race with
an unusual talent fer philosophizng they habitual-
ly think and talk of literary masterpiece which
is work of art achieved in the way of practice
as though it were product, or at any rate a by
product, of philosophy, producible by the methods
of philosophy Literature being literature,
and philosophy philosophy, you can.never under
stand account for literature-stl less can you
produce lterature-by considering it in terms of
philosophy; that is by being wise about it in
category to which it does not happen to belong.
SO when German, cultivatng his own bent
bonuses himself with theory that WORDSWORTH

w" viii say wrote Naturalism, or that uaturasln
wrote WORDSWORTH, it matters which even less
than 1t matters to lis what the German thinks he
means. For We know that what WORDSWORTH
wrote was Itttern Abbey, while what naturaliSm
wrote was nothing at all for it never existed but
, as a concept in somebody's mind, an abstract no.
ton COP made man in His image Germans make
congratulations in theirs. That is ALL and that is
sust the difference .
But they do confuse and nullify criticisms all
over Europe even among men of strong mind who
happen to be critics only, and have never under
gone the discipline Of creative writing. For rx-

SOME OBSERVATIONS BY Co."

7 AIDES and Gentlemen: 1t is true that the
IL distinguished educator about to address you
has published number of novels and shorter tales
and that these are of an imaginative order and
some are exciting reading. IL is even true that
three or four are widely popular.
On the other hand he was educated at Oxford,
and he taught there while, and he has edited two
or three famous and conservative anthologies, and
the style he writes is almost hammered in its old
fashioned refinement and besides being Fellow
of Jesus College he is King Edward VII Pro-
fessor Of English Literature in the University Of
Cambridge
In view of all this, you will apprehend from him
nothing unsettling concerning English literature,
nothing disturbing to the views that were carefully
dinged into your young mind in English A.
You won't?
Shudder! Shudder!
1t is redoubled pleasure to introduce Sir Ar
THUR QUILER-COUcH:
Il think it is time to hint at least that the
Modern and Medieval Languages Board IOf Cam
bridget intend to justify by practice what they
meant when, in framing the separate English
ripos, they 50 far ignored academic tradition and
dared the rage of Enthusiastically, like that
of the sheep, is terrible-as to open the study of
English down TO our own times, declining TO allow
that any past date could be settled, even by uni
versity statute, the one upon which English
literature took to its bed and expired, and was
beatifed.
Il have possibly as much reason any one in
this room to know how faulty one S judgment may
be about modern work, and specially about modern
poetry. Still the task of appraising it has to be
done for the books of our time the books of
time. They tell us in their various ways How 1t
Strikes Contemporary; and We shall not intelli-
gently prepare ourselves, here at Cambridge, by
drawing an imaginary line somewhere between the
past and the present and announcing, On this side

living, who are nOn-existent.
Now although our fathers-it must be
fessed-tried harder than to write prose; al
though TO our age belongs that rampant substitute
which / once denounced to you under the name of

hedge off good writing of our day and bid you
