the uncongenial work of lecturing,
or rather reading his written lee
ture, which was his habit. The So
cial side of his life was a busy one.
He soon found his way into the
Century Association, which was then
in that part of Eighth street which
used to be known as Clinton place.
Frederick S. Cozzens introduced him
there, and Thackeray, who was es-

much of the early part of the winter
of 1886. Then came the long trip
through the South and middle West;
visited Philadelphia, Baltimore,
Washington, Richmond, Charleston,
Savannah, Mobile and New Orleans,
and then went up the Mississippi
River to st. Louis; thence returning
to New York, breaking the journey
by a stop for lecturing purposes at
Cincinnati. In New York he did not
return to the Clarendon. Instead he
went to the Bower of Virtue, at GOA
Houston street, near Broadway, be-
tween Greene and Mercer streets.
There William Duer Robinson, J. c.
B. Davis and Samuel E. Lyons lived.
A place was made for Thackeray,
with a corner for his valet, Charles.

longs to see the mountains that rise

milr.r story to the effect that on the
traiN between the two cities he was
accosted with the cry, "Thackeray's
Works" and purchased "A Shabby
Genteel Story" which he had not
read in dozen years. In New York
he stayed at the Clarendon Hotel,
which fifteen or twenty years ago
was still standing at Fourth avenue
and Eighteenth street. That was al
ways his hostelry when he was in
the city. In the fifties it was one of
New York's most fashionable hotels.
When Thackeray descended there in
1852 his first visitor was George
Bancroft, the historian.
Thackeray's first public appear
ance in New York was in DIR. Bel

east side of Broadway. little below

OF THE HABITANT. By T. Nor
ris Longstreth.- The Century Com
pany.
IHHE author whimsically defines
this book as IAN account of a
rowing commission rendered
by him to himself over a country
lying just beyond his imagination"
1t is really much more than this,
being a guide book, rhapsody and
contagious record of carefree, de-
sultory adventure in little known
foreign land that happily lies almost
at our doorway-the Laurentian
Hills of Canada.
Geologically, the Laurentian for
nation covers two million square
miles-which, says Mr.. Longstreth
parenthetically seemed more than
enough" So he followed the advice
of the Geological Survey and scon-
fined himself to triangular section
bounded by the st. Lawrence River
on the south, the Saguenay and
Ottawa on east and west, with an
arrangement of mystery and noun
tains, called the Height of Land, for
northern limit" Orderly travellers.
the author fears, will be thrown into
a simmer of evaporation" by his
book, because of his "skiphazardly'
method of journeying. Yet in point
of fact it is this very spirit of free
dom "to roam or ruminate, to fly or
float or foot it, as he chose" that is
the key to the books pervading
charm, making it a priceless Uade
mecu1t for those enlightened souls
who travel with intelligent leisureli-
ness and not in sordid bondage to
time tables and itineraries.
Mr.. Longstreth is true woodsman
in his love for camping out and fol-
lowing the trail, his ardor for canoe
ing and fishing, his epicurean delight
in a meal cooked over the savory
smoke of a camp fire. He has an
artists appreciation of the won
drous and ever new panorama of
The New York herald., 1922-06-11

those northern lakes and hills; and
more than all else he enjoys the
natives, that genuine type of hab-
liant so hard for the average Amer
lean to understand and so delight
fully simple and sincere when their
confidence and friendship are once
won. One of the authors great ad-
ventures was making the acquaint-
ance of the original Marie Chapde-
laine, the heroine of that simple and
poignant romance by Louis Hemon,
which has already become famous
on two continents and has twice

speaks unwillingly of the book, for

After all. it was pleasanter going
out into the country. even If the

riage from the Clarendon to the
Waddell mansion, which then stood
surl ounded by open fields at Fifth
