to the influence of these men, asserts that the achievements of the seventy-five years before the Civil War compare favourably with those of any period of growth and adjustment in legal history, and declares that the closest analogy, both in the time taken and the amount and character of the work accomplished, is the classical period in England—the age of Coke. Roscoe Pound, The Place of Judge-Story in the Making of American Law. Proceedings of the Cambridge historical Society, vol. VII (1914), p. 39. Kent's Commentaries on American law (1826-1830) was of very great effect; it was long read by students of the law and occupied a place of distinction by the side of Blackstone's famous work. Story, in addition to his work as a teacher of law in Harvard and to his duties on the bench of the Federal Supreme Court, wrote a number of volumes which did perhaps even more than those of Kent to standardize and shape the law. His Conflict of laws and Equity jurisprudence were of transcendent

nctive idiom in the South is the use of you all, meaning not all of you but you folks, you people, you boys, you girls. It may be addressed to one person but always implies more than one. If a Southerner says to a clerk in a store, Do you all keep shoes here? he means by you all not the single clerk but the entire firm or force that owns or operates the store. There is an interesting paragraph on this idiom in Jespersen's Modern English grammar, Part II, Syntax, First Volume (Heidelberg, 1914), pages 47-48. He compares it with East Anglian you together, used as a kind of plural of you. Notable writers of the Southern dialect besides Harris, Page, and Cable, are Richard Malcolm Johnston, See also Book III, Chaps. IV and VI. Charles Egbert Craddock, Ibid., Chap. VI. and O. Henry. Ibid An analogy may be noted, by way of retrospect, between the three dialects of Chaucer's time and the three that, with many modifications, have survived in the United States. The Northern o

Chapter 6: the short story The period between the Civil War in America and the outbreak of the Great War in Europe in 1914 may be termed in the history of prose fiction the Era of the Short Story. Everywhere, in France, in Russia, in England, in America, more and more the impressionistic prose tale, the conte—short, effective, a single blow, a moment of atmosphere, a glimpse at a climactic instant—came, especially in the magazines, to dominate fictional literature. Formless at first, oftand remains, and, what is more, it lifts and chastens or explains. It may be said with assurance that Short Sixes marks one of the high places which have been attained by the American short story. In the same group belongs Ambrose Bierce (1838-1914?), though in mere point of time he is to be counted with the California group of the early Overland monthly days. A soldier of the Civil War, editor of the San Francisco News letter in 1866, associate editor, with the younger Tom Hood, of London
