Boswell Writing His Life

W ET, in spite of all interruptions.
L he had nearly completed the
first draft before the year was out,
and by February, 1890, he could say
that il was fairly in the press. Thes
printers of the eighteenth century
were a long suffering generation.
They actually began the printing Of
a book before the author had com
pleted the manuscript. When they
had received enough copy TO fiIl up
a sheet the type was set and proofs
were pulled and sent TO The author
for correction. When he returned
them the sheet was printed and
folded and the type in the form dis
tributed. The printers devil hoN-
cred between the compositors and
the author, bearing proofs hot from
the press and appeals for more copy.
1t is only by imagining such a state
of affairs, alien enough for those of
our day, that We can understand the
circumstances Of Boswell's life" in
1890 and 1871, when his great
work" was passing through the
press before he himself had com
pleted the rough draft OF it. He

Six Women of England.

TT is pleasant to read statement
L by the secretary Of the Royal
Historical Society that ''at least six
women have made such regulations
for themselves that their fame will
last for generations" for one has a
suspicion that we have dealt rather
hardly with our own feminine his
tOrians in the past. There was Mrs.
Macaulay, "the great Whig histo-
rian," for instance. 1t is true that
Lecky has said of her that she was
''the ablest author of the new Radical
school," and that Horace Walpole
agreed with Gray in thinking her
history ''the most sensible. unaf-
fected and best history of England
that we have had yet" that Mira
beau wanted it translated into
French, and that Nine. Roland con-
fesscd an ambition to be the ma
caulay de son pays; but, alas! Mrs.
Macaulay outliyed her own repu-
tation, and is remembered only by
some savage comments of JOhnson's s
his declaration that she was bet
ter employed in reddening her own
cheeks than in blaekening other
peoples reputation" or his ITO en-
deavOr to make her ridiculous is
like blacking the chimney" Then
there was Miss Strickland, the ex-
treme opposite of Mrs. Macaulay. a

Our PIebeian Fiction.

THE great bulk of American fic-
i tion to-day is essentially pie
beisn. The few exceptions make the
fact more startling. The cause is
not far TO seek. With the enormous
influx of European plebeians the
poison of democracy began its
deadly work. The sun of the repab-
lie started on its westward course.
This heterogeneous mass was given
the vote, its children were ad-
mitted to the public schools, hereto
fore sacred TO Americans. and the
Declaration of Independence was
given a free Interpretation never in
tended by its authors.
/ am by no means centending that
these millions OF aliens and their
descendants should have been kept
in condition of ignorance and
slavery. That would have been
sheer brutality and, what is more
to the point. would have been de-
moralizing in its effect upon the su-
perior race. We opened our gates
from motives of expediency and en-
terprise, and our exaggerated ideal
ism compelled us to give to immi-
grants equal rights as citizens. If
We had been wiser we would have
been more merciful and just in the
matter OF wage and living condi-
tions and reserved the citizenship
for those who after many years
proved themselves capable of using
il to the advantage of the country

The Personal Walter Savage

crotchety gentleman who quarreled

with the evidence. He did, indeed.
fall out with some people, men AMI
women, to whom at one time or
another he had been greatly at
tached, but certainly not with all
but one OF them, or often without
just cause, even il his resentment
may now and then have exceeded
the bounds of a righteous indigpa
ton. Nor was that resentment al
ways implacable. He and Walter
Birch fought at Rugby, when Ian
dor, for once, came off second best
in a fight; but they were close
friends ever afterward. In what
were probably his most turbulent
days he never had a moments die
pute with DR.. Samuel Parr or spoke
OF him in any terms but of respect
and affection, for il was assuredly
not Walter Landor who wrote Guys
Porridge Pot" in which the doctor
was held up to coarse ridicuie. He
never quarreled with Southey, nor
with Dickens, nor with Sir William
Napier, though he and the General.

The Flight Of Tolstoy.

A T the age Of So Tolstoy found
that his indefatigable striving
for inner harmony, for consistency
between word and deed, could not
be triumphant as long as he lived
on his family estate. His personal
simplifeatioB, his personal relin-
quishment of private property, his
personal vegetarian diet, bore the
aspect OF whiI1, condescendingly
tolerated amid the conventional sur
roundings of a Russian s'nobleman's
nest" A hater of shame and COM
promise, Tolstoy felt keenly the
srtifeiality of his position, and 10
his close friends he expressed the
hope a number of times that God
would make him strong enough to
break away from the roof of cozy
lies. This spiritual strength came
to him with the ebb of his physical
strength: during the night of No
vember 10 he fed from his home in
quest Of harmony and truth, and ten
days later the tortuous path Of his
earthly quests came to an. end

The Demand for the New
Writer.

TINE idea frequently encountered
1 among unknown writer's, how
ever, that there is everything in a
name" is fallacy. The editor OF
one of the best OF our monthly mag
azines told not long ago that but a
short time before he had in one
week returned articles by Gals
worthy, Bernard Shaw, George
Moore, and / have forgotten what
other highly distinguished writer's.
He had used instead work of fresh
ness, of charm, or of power by writ
ers with their careers nearly all be-
fore them. An intense interest in
new writer's is the attitude of plenty
of magazine editors. New writers
are the life of the magazine bust
ness" declared an editor the other
day, the editor of one of the most
widely circulated, substantial maga-
zines in the country. A few min
utes later, in an another office, /
heard the editor of another of our
leading magazines say: New
writers are the hope of the whole
situation. From "The Practical
