Here he met Dr. Pattison, author of Essays and Reviews, who spoke warmly to me of Atlantic Essays which he got in consequence of an extract in a review. He said, You must have given great attention to the matter of style ; and afterwards, Do you find an audienplace, for the love of a ballad which perhaps the Keiths of Ravelston do not know. Returning to London in July, he went to a charming garden party . . . . The company was distinguished—Huxley, Spencer, Galton, my friend and reader Mark Pattison from Oxford, Sir Rutherford Alcock, Walter Crane and his wife and others . . . . Huxley . . . was very cordial . . . . Walter Crane is quite a young man, modest and retiring and has a nice young wife of the same stamp who seemed pleased at heari

no reason why Darwin or Victor Hugo should pass for more than mortal; and accordingly they did not. We shall not prepare ourselves for a cosmopolitan standard by ignoring our own great names or undervaluing the literary tradition that has produced them. When Stuart Newton, the artist, was asked, on first arriving in London from America, whether he did not enjoy the change, he answered honestly, I here see such society occasionally, as I saw at home all the time. At this day the self-respecting American sometimes hears admissions in Europe which make him feel that we are already creating a standard, not waiting to be judged by one. The most variously accomplished literary critic in England, the late Mark Pattison, said to me of certain American books then lately published, Is such careful writing appreciated in the United States? It would not be in England. On the shores of a new continent, then, there was already a standard which was in one respect better than the cosmopolitan.
