What Is there in his "Te Lee ward," ler instance, ler wlucli we should "join in mi honest self gratulatten " ? I grant that Ins latest, " A Tale ct a Lonely Parish," Is better th 111 nut thing he has hitherto given us. Hut even that is sur sur pa'sed, distanced, bv at bast n hall dozen novels by ether vv riters. Ne, 1 feel that there would be a gcisi ded mere cause ler self gr nidatien if both James and Crawford could tie induced te step "telling their stories vear in and jiur mil." Indeed the large sp tee given te James m 1 lie Allnnlic Is a constant source el wonder, ami regret, te 1110 It seems inconsistent with its high standard et excellence and nil its best literary tridiliens, the only inconsistence it has ever sIieimi. Mil. Hewl l.i.s, iudisHl, has added largely te "the sum el pleasure" 111 the world. An author who has charmed se many with sketches like his " enctaiii Life," delight- fill stories like dis " Cliance Acqualnuuiee," 'Toiegono Conclusion," and ethers of the sime kind, doesn't deserve te liave his liame iiiiqiialiliedly asseciaUsl with tliat of Craw ford and James, even If he has written much else that is less worthy of dim than It would lei et idem. Yet in spite of iniicli in "A Modern Instance," " Tlie Hlse et Silas Lap. ham," mid "An Indian Summer," that is rather in James' manner than in what might I mi HewcIIm', Ihey are all el lliem novels vastly superior te anything eithei Craw lord or Junius has written. 'In ninny respects "Silas Lapdam" is ene of tlie strongest pieces of work et which American llctien Mil beast, 1 imVi knew why it 1", but somehow, even ttlille reading tliose things nt Howells which I most dislike, I leel all the while a certain warm liking for Hie author's person ality which makes lUelt felt se strongly en etery page. It seems te me all the lime th it 1110 man is belter in 111 inucu 01 Ills werK, has mero heart lu dim, mere pure mid earn est mural purpose. Tins ratder inUelluite jet tery divided feeling I long date darbeied towards Mr. Howells, das been strengthened Inte .1 posi tive conviction slnce I liave rout what de writes in tde Hditer's Study et tde June number of Jfarjtcr's Monthly. Writing of tde Concord lectures en tde "Llle nnd (nidus or Gtotlie" de says: "Tdere is a kind of tdlng a kind nl iiietapliisicnl lie against righteousness and co limim-sunse which is called tlie Unmoral, and is suiiihwimI tube dillerent from the Immoral ; and it is this which is supposed te cover many et the faults el (iicthe. His ll'iMcfm JfeiKcr, ler example, is se far removed within the region of the ' ideal' that its iinnrincliilHd. Its .un principled, tennr in regard te women is pre. iieuiiced ' immorality,' mid is therefore in. lerably harmless. Hut no study of Hietde li complete without seme consideration of the ethics of dis great novel, and lu tills particu lar tlie Concord study of his Hie and genius Is signally dofeetlio." These are true and noble w iuiIs; words sued as tliu mere reader of "A Modern Instance" would scat cely date looked for Irem its author. It is Howells the man that writes them. Howells tlie novelist lias, sometimes nearly forgelton them; while James, Cravvieid, nnd net 11 few ethers seem net yet te liave discovered the fact at all that the Unmoral vvlilid "Is supposed te be dlllereut from the Immoral" In art, is nothing but n'lle against rigdt rigdt rigdt oeusuess and common souse."
