ave interested themselves in the preparation of the Academy Album, and assure you of my sincere wishes for your health and happiness. Oak Knoll, Danvers, 12th Month, 25, 1885. Edwin Percy Whipple. I have been pained to learn of the decease of my friend of many years, Edwin P. Whipple. Death, however expected, is always something of a surprise, and in his case I was not prepared for it by knowing of any serious failure of his health. With the possible exception of Lowell and Matthew Arnold, he was the ablest critical essayist of his time, and the place he has left will not be readily filled. Scarcely inferior to Macaulay in brilliance of diction and graphic portraiture, he was freer from prejudice and passion, and more loyal to the truth of fact and history. He was a thoroughly honest man. He wrote with conscience always at his elbow, and never sacrificed his real convictions for the sake of epigram and antithesis. He instinctively took the right side of the questions

his works in every successive edition, but every secondary or relative book, be it memoir, criticism, attack, parody, or translation; and it is always curious to consider the relative standing of American and English authors under this severe and inexorable test. The entries or items appearing in the interleaved catalogue under the name of Tennyson, for instance, up to September, 1901, were 487; under Longfellow, 357; then follow, among English-writing poets, Browning (179), Emerson (158), Arnold (140), Holmes (135), Morris (117), Lowell (114), Whittier (104), Poe (103), Swinburne (99), Whitman (64). The nearest approach to a similar test of appreciation in the poet's own country is to be found in the balloting for the new Hall of Fame, established by an unknown donor on the grounds of the New York University with the avowed object of creating an American Westminster Abbey. The names of those who were to appear in it were selected by a board of one hundred judges carefully chosen fr

e prefix to each chapter of a little motto, often in a foreign language. It must be remembered that the Sketch Book, like Outre-Mer, was originally published in numbers; and besides all this the literary style of Longfellow's work was at this time so much like that of Irving that it is very hard at first to convince the eye that Irving is not responsible for all. Yet for some reason or other the early copies of the Sketch Book command no high price at auction, while at the recent sale of Mr. Arnold's collection in New York the two parts of Outre-Mer brought $310. The work is now so rare that the library of Harvard University has no copy of the second part, and only an imperfect copy of the first with several pages mutilated, but originally presented to Professor Felton by the author and bearing his autograph. As to style, it is unquestionable that in Outre-Mer we find Washington Irving frankly reproduced, while in Hyperion we are soon to see the development of a new literary ambitio

n," by Joseph Mazzini, the crazy Italian reformer, and something from John Raskin, the Arts Critic, entitled "Unto This Last," four essays on the first principles of economy. "The Roundabout Papers" is a series of essays by Thackeray, republished from the Cornhill Magazine. A readable trifle is "A Book about Doctors," by J. C. Jefferson, who gives all the gossip and scandal about the fraternity. A learned controversy upon the proper style of translating Homer is raging between Matthew Arnold, Professor of Poetry at Oxford, and Francis W. Newman, Professor of Classics in University College, London. Each disputant has issued a brace of books, and the Reviews have ranged themselves on either side. No department has been more prolific than that of fiction. At least two-thirds of the publications named in the book lists are of this character. At the head, in popularity, stands Victor Huge's remarkable political romance of "Les Miserable" It has had an enormous sale in Fra
