eated, often three or four times in the course of the day. By this means nearly the whole of the volume now offered has been composed. There is no more piteous or inspiring story of a fight against odds in the history of literature. For after his fortieth year the enemy gave way a little, and book after book somehow got itself written. There they stand upon the shelves, a dozen of them-The pioneers of France, The Jesuit in North America, La Salle, The Old Regime, Frontenac, Montcalm and Wolfe, A half-century of conflict-the boy's dream realized, the man's long warfare accomplished. The history of the forest, as Parkman saw it, was a pageant with the dark wilderness for a background, and, for the actors, taciturn savages, black-robed Jesuits, intrepid explorers, soldiers of France-all struggling for a vast prize, all changing, passing, with a pomp and color unknown to wearied Europe. It was a superb theme, better after all for an American than the themes chosen by Prescott and T

nd heard what I supposed was the calling of the docket, and the conversation between the lawyers incidental thereto, with quite an animated argument growing out of the filing of an affidavit,—all of which were in French. Indeed this is the language which meets you everywhere in Canada, reminding you of the origin of the Colony and of its conquest. I have felt humbled at my inability to speak French, and also to understand what I hear spoken. To-morrow (Tuesday, Sept. 13, anniversary of Wolfe's great victory and death), I shall leave Montreal for the South, commencing or rather continuing my journey homeward.

orth America. The series was limited to the period before the Pontiac war. It embraced the whole story of French colonization in North America from the Huguenot colonies of the sixteenth century to the fall of Quebec. The various parts appeared as follows: The pioneers of France in the New World (865); the Jesuits in North America (1867); la Salle and the discovery of the great West (1869); the Old Regime in Canada (1874); Count Frontenac and New France under Louis XIV (1877); Montcalm and Wolfe (2 vols., 1884); and A half century of conflict (2 vols., 1892). He described the series as including the whole course of the American conflict between France and England, or in other words, the history of the American forest; for this was the light in which I regarded it. My theme fascinated me, and I was haunted with wilderness images day and night. Parkman's purposes were wholly American. He loved the vast recesses of murmuring pines, with their tragedies, adventures, and earnest strivi

act, that he knew not the worth of Ferdousi. There is a slight delusion in this dazzling glory. What a fantastic whim the young lieutenants thought it, when General Wolfe, on the eve of battle, said of Gray's Elegy, Gentlemen, I would rather have written that poem than have taken Quebec. Yet, no doubt, it is by the memory of that remark that Wolfe will live the longest,--aided by the stray line of another poet, still reminding us, not needlessly, that Wolfe's great name's cotemporal with our own. Once the poets and the sages were held to be pleasing triflers, fit for hours of relaxation in the lulls of war. Now the pursuits of peace are recognized as Wolfe's great name's cotemporal with our own. Once the poets and the sages were held to be pleasing triflers, fit for hours of relaxation in the lulls of war. Now the pursuits of peace are recognized as the real, and war as the accidental. It interrupts all higher avocations, as does the cry of fire: when the fire is extinguished, the important affairs of life are resumed. A few years ago the London Times was bewailing that all thought and culture in England were suspended by the Crimean War. We want no more books. Give us good

us a singular anecdote of Nelson, while we were looking at the picture of his death. Just before he went to sea for the last time, West sat next to him at a large entertainment given to him here, and in the course of the dinner Nelson expressed to Sir William Hamilton his regret, that in his youth he had not acquired some taste for art and some power of discrimination. But, said he, turning to West, there is one picture whose power I do feel. I never pass a paint-shop where your Death of Wolfe is in the window, without being stopped by it. West, of course, made his acknowledgments, and Nelson went on to ask why he had painted no more like it. Because, my lord, there are no more subjects. D—n it, said the sailor, I did n't think of that, and asked him to take a glass of champagne. But, my lord, I fear your intrepidity will yet furnish me such another scene; and, if it should, I shall certainly avail myself of it. Will you? said Nelson, pouring out bumpers, and touching his gla

's noble Fredericksburg sonnet, in a somewhat similar way, stands out by itself; it seems to differ in kind rather than degree from the airy rhyme of which he is wont to be the enamored architect; its texture is so firm, its cadence so grand, that it seems more and more likely to rank as being, next to Lowell's Ode, the most remarkable poem called out by the Civil War. It is such writing as Keats pronounced to be next to fine doing, the top thing in the universe; and we must not forget that Wolfe, before Quebec, pronounced fine writing to be the greater thing of the two. The crowning instances of high-water marks are in those poems which, like Blanco White's sonnet, alone bear the writer's name down to posterity. How completely the truculent Poe fancied that he had extinguished for all time the poetry of my gifted and wayward kinsman, Ellery Channing; and yet it is not at all certain that the one closing line of Channing's A Poet's Hope, — If my bark sinks, 'tis to another sea, m
