Matthew Arnold, Civilization in the United States: First and Last Impressions of America., II: a word about America. (search)
of view, a very rude and primitive soil, only to be cultivated by violent methods. These childish and half-savage minds are not moved except by very elementary narratives composed without art, in which burlesque and melodrama, vulgarity and eccentricity, are combined in strong doses. It may be said that Frenchmen, the present generation of Frenchmen at any rate, themselves take seriously, as of the family of Shakespeare, Moliere, and Goethe, an author half genius, half charlatan, like M. Victor Hugo. They do so; but still they may judge, soundly and correctly enough, another nation's false literature which does not appeal to their weaknesses. I am not blaming America for falling a victim to Quinion, or to Murdstone either. We fall a victim to Murdstone and Quinion ourselves, as I very well know, and the Americans are just the same people that we are. But I want to deliver England from Murdstone and Quinion, and I look round me for help in the good work. And when the Boston newsp

Les Miserables--Cosette. --Messers. West & Johnston have published the second book of Les Miserables--"Cosette." To those who have read Fantine, an essay on the style of M. Victor Hugo would be superfluous. Cosette is a continuation of that work. The life of Jean Valjean is continued, and that of Cosette commences. It is a more fascinating work than Fantine, and will probably be more widely read. The description of the battle of Waterloo, in the opening pages, is the most graphic, and perhaps we might add the most truthful, account of that memorable conflict ever written.
