Literary Editor Of The Tribune:
In recent issue of The Tribune you
printed a very interesting account of
the decision of the Court of Appeals,
in the case of Halsey VS.. The New
York Society for the Suppression of
Vice, concerning Gsutiar's Vile. de
Maupin." In addition to q Ing the ma
jority opinion you also ou,.c The min
GRITTY opinion written by Judge Crane,
and in this Judge Crane states that
Gautier was barred from the French
Academy because the people Of his time
(1s35) condemned the book when it was
published on the ground that it was
lascivious and that his reputation as =
writer did not come from that book.
Regarding Gautier's rejection for ad-
mission to the French Academy, il was
based upon political and not liter
ary matter. ! will quote you from the
authoritative history of the French
Academy, and there are other authori-
ties who bear out this statement:
For Empis's seat there were also two
candidates, both of them poets, Auguste
Barber (made famous by the Iambes
which he had written in 1880 and where
he procla med his hatred for Napoleon,
and Theophile Gauticr. Barber was
supported by Guizot and his group, Gau-
tier by SaintBeuve and his friends
The latter realized that the result of
the second election would depend on
the result of the first consequently
they maneuvred, but they maneuvred
badly. They spurned the alliance that
Theirs and his friends offered them
pledging to give their votes to Theo-
phile Gautier if the Iatter's supporters
would vote for Duvergier de Hauranne,
and wishing to please the emperor
by electing Count de Champagny, they
joined Guizot and Montalembert. 1t
was terrible blunder. Count de
Champagny was elected, but Duver-
gier's friends, who were numerous.

"the end came in June, 1889. Her
servants Immediately possessed them
selves of every movable object in the
house. But Lady Hester cared no
longer, She was lying back in her bed,
uneXplicable, grand, preposterous with
her nose iD the air'-there is no hint
III this Of the pathos of life that had
opened so auspiciously, coming to its
close in exile and loneliness. No suspi-
cion that life had, after all, held some
significance for Lady Hester Stanhope
That she had loved and suffered and
been thwarted by destiny; in short,
that she was really something other
than the fantastic marionette whose
antics Mr.. Strachey recounts so bril-
lisntly.
T'HE lack of sympathy displayed in
IL Mr. Strachey's presentation of
Lady Hester Stanhope is not present
in his attitude toward Nine. du Deffand.
the only other woman with whom he
deals. The study of Mime du Deffand
is not only by far the finest thing in
the book, it is also one of the greatest
triumphs that Mr. Strachey has ever
achieved. The portrait which he draws
Of the half-forgotten French woman is
mastery in it's precision and it's deli
cacy. And Mr.. Strachey has not only
made dead woman live again, he has
recreated a vanished society.
The whole spirit of the great salons
of cighteenth-century France is ex-
pressed in the pages which Mr. Strachey
devotes to Nine. du Deffand and her
circle. He shows us the terrible old
lady, whose scathing wit was as much
the dread of her friends as of her
enemies. and whose bon-mots have
passed into history. presiding over an
assemblage of the most distinguished
people of the time The only deep
emotion of Nine. du Deffands life was
her unrequited passion for Horace
Walpole. And it is in the letters
which she wrote to him, where the
strange, bitter creature poured out her
devotion and her cynicism in the same
breath, that Mr.. Strachey, with such
marvellous insight, has found Nine. du
Deffand's revelation of herself and
of her day.
Nothing could disclose to US more
effectively the age of which Nine. du
Detfand was so completely representa-
tive, than the extracts Mr.. Strachey
quotes from her letters. All the
melancholy, the skepticism and the
WEAKNESS of that society which was
so soon to be engulfed by the tidal
wave of the revolution are expressed
in her cry to Walpole "Ah, de le
repete sans cesse, il ny q quun NAL
heur, celui detre ne" There is only
one thing more fascinating than Nine
du Defand, and that is the way in
which Mr.. Strachey has written about
her. And one cannot help thinking
how fortunate it is that Mr.. Strachey
should have happened to apply his
genius to the task of obliterating the
years which stretch between her and
us and resucing this extraordinary
woman from the night of time.

not only demonstrates the
EE catholic nature of Mr..
Strachey's appreciations
and his ability to give those apprecia-
tions the most brilliant kind of ex-
preston, but it shows also that he is
as capable of enthusiasm as of irony.
That Mr.. Strachey's mood can be
reverent as we'll as sardonic, is proved
by what he has written upon Racine.
Here, the satirist, who has worked
such havoc among the sanctities of the
Victorian era, bows. in unqualified
homage, before the master of French
tragedy. MIR. Strachey's article upon
Racine Is as illuminating as it is ad-
mirable, and it comes as welcome
/ antidote to the ignorant and bumptious
depreciation of Racine, INDUCED in so
freely by Anglo-Saxons. And yet des-
Iite the eloquence of Mr.. Strachey's
tribute, one cannot help feeling that it
will not exert the influence that it
should. And, outside OF France, only
small minority, will ever have any
genuine comprehension of the austere
and lofty genius of Racine
The fifteen essays that compose the
book are inevitably of unequal merit.
The one upon Rousseau Is perhaps the
least successful. Mr.. Strachey has
elected to deal with Rousseau's
famous quarrels with the other
literary men of his day; with the in
tent of discovering whether Rousseau
or they were to blame. The subject
is singularly Improbable one, and
even Mr. Strachey is not able to make
very much out of it. The merits of
those obscure and bitter controversies,
which the irritable Apostle of the Re-
turn to Nature conducted with his
contemporaries, were best summed in
the words ascribed to Voltaire: "In
order that Rousseau should be right.
to many sensible people would have to
be wrong" And Mr.. Strachey, in re-
opening the matter, has not disclosed
any evidence that makes this verdict
any the less final.
I'm HIS treatment of Lady Hester
Stanhope Mr.. Strachey displays at
the same time the advantages and the
weaknesses of his method. The essav is
brilliantly written. Mr.. Strachev's
irony has never been more subtle or
more penetrating, and yet the woman
with whom he is dealing, remains en-
tlrely unreal throughout. Her identity
is completely submerged in the triumph
OF Mr.. Strachey's technique. Lady Hes
ter Stanhope's career was an extraor-
dlnary medley of the grotesque and
the tragic. The granddaughter of the
great Lord Chatham, the niece of Will
liam Pitt, she reigned as one of the
queens of English society during the
regency. Until suddenly, turning her
back upon the world in which she
occupied so exalted a position, she
quilted England forever. After wan
dering for some years in the East she
finally settled in house on the sum
nit of Mount Lebanon in Syria, where
she lived in Oriental state and almost
complete solitude until her death.
Mr.. Strachey has emphasized the
grotesque elements in Lady Hester's
life and completely ignored it's tragedy.
She energies from his account an
amazing, an. inexplicable figure, but
hardly human being. Lady Hester
Stanhope was certainly eccentric but
she was also intensely human. Of this,
Mr.. Strachey appears quite unaware,
as his description of her death shows:
