pher was wrong again; the train did not

On graduation. Furness made an extend
ed tour in Europe and Asia Minor with a
college friend. and there acquired the flu
ent command of modern languages which
was to serve him later in his work on the
Variorum. The letters written to his fam
lily during this time are perhaps the most
interesting in the collection. partly because
of the material he had to report and partly
because at this period I'm his life he had the
leisure TO elaborate his news into messages
of very real literary charm. The account
Of the journey from France over the Pyre-
nees into Spain by diligence (the only
available mode of traveD is unusually
fine; so is the letter telling of his visit to
Jerusalem.
On his return, he was admitted to the
bar. and. quite incidentally. Joined the
Shakespeare Society of Philadelphia. But
the outbreak of the Civil War postponed
ali ordinary interests. and. having been re-
jected for military service because of deaf
ness. he joined the Sanitary Commission,
and did excellent work in the hospitals and
in arousing public interest i'm hospital
needs. This episode OF his life was too
crowded to permit much letter writing. but
the examples we have give us sharp
glimpse into the seriousness Of the long
struggle. Several letters TO an English
friend are. by exception. very elaborate,
intended. evidently. to put before British
attention the Northern point of view. They
are written with more fire and eloquence,
perhaps. than Furness usually shows. for
only an extraordinary occasion could lift
him altogether above the mood of pleasant
humOr which is one of the charms even of
his scholarly writing.
At the close Of the war he set himself
to the great task of making a satisfactory
variorum edition Of Shakespeare. One ad-
mires the EDITORS Judgment in giving us
in. full the correspondence between Fur
ness and w. Adds Wright on the appear
ance of the prospectus of the work; for
this famous argument. which led to a life
time friendship between the two scholars,
illustrates the naive side Of American cul-
The New York herald., 1922-12-03

ture-the side that disturbs the foreigner
now as then. The publisher advertised that
the text of the variorum would be that of
the Cambridge edition, without having
communicated in any way, apparently,
with the Cambridge editor. In the ex-
change of remarks that followed the situa-
ton cleared quickly and happily, since the
American scholar had no intention OF in
fringing on his English colleagues right;

brings out the human quality of both men,
much to their credit
The remaining letters, with the eXcep-
ton of one group of them, record the rich
friendships. the increasing honors and the
incidental sorrows of long and busy life.
They are not great letters in the sense
that the letters Of William James are
great; they have not the precocity which
distinguished Furness's own letters from
college, nor the unusual subject matter
which inspired his letters of travel. but
they disclose an admirable personality
which is almost enough to ask of any
writing and they have always grace or
phrasng, good humor. good sense and wit.
The group of letters which form break
in the record of his literary interests are
those dealing with his work on the Seybert
Commission-a commission under the au-
spices of the University of Pennsylvania
to investigate the truth of modern spirit
ism. Furness was active chairman of the
commission and wrote the report OF It's
labors. Beginning with some faith in spirit
ism. he came out of the investigation with
no faith in il at all-at least none in the
mediums he and his colleagues We're able
to study. His descriptions of the various
kinds of fraud he met with are delightful
reading. though their humor may distress
the present aevotees of spiritism. as his
report shocked the spiritists of an earlier
day.
on the side of his life for which he is
famous, his Shakespearean scholarship, the
letters illustrate again what We already
know from the variOrum itself. that he was
one OF the sanest of editors. properly skep-
teal of unimaginative textual criticism

than to obscure it by a mere guess. always

~ CIENCE is changing mans perspec-
tive. as recent group of books
shows, to marked degree. The
phenomenon can be looked at from two
angles. We are learning many facts
which would have been unthought of a
century ago. so that We could say that
the universe is growing smaller. On the
other hand, we may hold that on account
Of the vast new fields we have to conquer
the cosmos is continually widening.
Joseph AGcCabe has been uniformly
successful in his attempts to popularize
science He links every subject with
which he deals Ia the topic of evolution.
In his book on ice Ages" he answers the
natural query of the man in the street as
to how we know so much about our
planets past. He has an answer to all
those who are skeptical about the teach
