as to know them, which makes Wells
the most interesting figure of our day
History written by ncutrals may be
scholarly, but it is deadly dull.
STILL we do wish that Wells could
have refrained from tearing into Solo
mon and disrupting his glory. We have
no bias in the matter. Solomon is moth
ing to us, but we did have him fixed
III our mind as wise and magnificent
person. Along comes Wells 10 thunder
that "His temple, measured internally
was 20 cubits broad, about 80 feet
that is, The breadth Of small villa
residence-and so cubits, say 100 feet
long" Apparently, it was not to be
compared with any one of Billy Sun
days tabernaclcs.
And as for his wisdom and state
craft continues Wells. still worrying
poor Solomon, "one need go no further
than the Bible to sec that Solomon was
a mere helper IN the wide-reaching
schemes of the trader king Hiram and
his kingdom a pawn between Phunicia
and Egypt
The first thing we know Wells VIII be
telling us that in reality Goliath was
about the size of Miller Huggins.
Of course, Wells does not get or
scot free. Now and again friends OF
the persons attacked rush into foot
notes to strike back. On page 80, for
instance, after Wells has spoken of
Greek democracy as "a sort Of gov
crnment by a swarm Of hereditary bar
risters," the following indignant foot
note is added

In that paragraph Mr.. Muir reveals
himself as a writer of all three classes;
as indeed every writer is, at one time
or another. And ours is a
doubt whether any writer ever said
more than fraction-it may be 99l1oo
of what was in his mind No man,
VIC believe, ever achieves perfect ex-
preston, for perfect expression means
utter understanding by the reader, and
man has only words to work with,

Writers who stimulate, who incite

Muir in the oughtmaking Freeman,
are of three classes. OF the lowest
are those who give a paradoxical turn
to patitude: these are valuable, for
they m ke the platitude live.
The second class contains those writer's
who say more than they know they
are saying. These are more salutary
still, for they incite US to complete
what they have imperfectly said, and
to make their thought our own. Final
y there are those who say only a
fraction of what is in their minds.

they give us the starting point Of a
