"Oh, sheet the hat !"
The peer tramp only looked mero dijeclcd

meekly and Berrow fully, and limped en.
Hut the young sport nhouted after him :
"Cnme hick, young fellow, and bee bow

The e" nt pmsed and hatf turned, and

A chorus of laiiehter greeted hla siigues-

his challenge te trade hats, and llnally In

of Iturllneteu, "nud let's hce whose make It

"Oh, thal'a Hlotaen'a chorused the crowd.
"He wouldn't wear anything but a first-class

Hut the tramp replied, trying te limp
away from the circle that was closing around
him .

onfertnlt man. I don't bellove I could git
that hat elFu my head : I don't indeed. I
don't beliuie 1 klu git It oft at all. I'ioeao

Hut ihn unroeting young men crewded
Around him mero closely and Insisted that
the hat should cotne nil, and the saiartest

"Indeed, young gent," replied the tramp,
apologetically, "I don't believe you could

The jeung man advanced And made

clumsy, frightened gesture,
" Come, young gent," he whined, "don't

as many of us feared It would have te wal

ence In a generation, perhsps net once In a

ture, attainment, and fortunate clrcum clrcum
sUnces with the rare and exceptional quali
ties demanded of the true historian of litera
ture. Fer, as Fref. Hlchardsen frankly con
leases. " Ne critical task Is mero dllllcult and
dellcate than thatef estimating the rank and
analyzing the achievements et American au
thors." And that Is the task of the historian.
He tiiiiat be ether and mero than a mere
chronicler, and his work must be mero and
ethor than n mero description, howevor cer
reci anu interesting tmi gilt, or Art, of
"estimating the rank mid analjring the
achievements of American author, ' accord
ing te snnie bread, llxed and fundamental
principle, and net mernly In Accordance wllh
Individual feeling, pers'iiral taste, or the
wMm of popular fashion aud opinion, la
what Ins heretofore beeu lacking. Trulh te
say, lu iuet cases of se called uliterlan of
our liteniture, the lack has been tacitly Ad Ad
mltted by their scarcely making any serious
attempt at really crltlcji -vrrk. Our histories
have nearly all beeu simply chronicles and
descriptions.
Tin: essential requirements el the historian
of American literature I conceive te be, first
of all, that he be hlmaelf a native American,
born and bred amidst the traditions, customs,
reellnRs of the country, with Ameilcan his
tery behlnd him, American prospect And
heKs before him, Imbued with the Ameri
can spirit and temperament, and seeing
things trem the American point of view.
The nbaonce el this prlmn qualltluitlen Is the
can he of whatever Insulllcleiicy mid unsitls unsitls
facterlness there Is In the only comptete hlv
tery of American llterature yet extant, that
in i-rei. .juuii aicuei, 01 r.ngiana.
I knew that the very opposite of what I
Just said Is often maintained. It Is held that
only a non-Amerlcan can write calmly, co ce
berly and impartially of our literature nnd
HlerAry men. The velume befere me utterly
refutes this opinion. Moreover as Its author
very truly says en this very subject, "In
considering American lltorature we
cannot salely say that tlie Judgment of for fer for
elgnors Is tne Judgment efpnterlty. The
most Intelligent Europeans often tuake the
met startling mistake concerning llierary
matter here. Vliter Hugodeclarod, without
hesitation, that Fee was ' the prince el Amer
Ran literature,' and yet, It Is atd, prelessed
ontlre Ignorance of Lmoraen's name wheu It
was mentioned te him. Hrei Harte, Mark
Twain and ether humorists are dteuud b
many our most characteristic writers, whlle
olhet critics aver that Jenquln Mlller is a
truer representative or the life or this conn cenn
try, and still ethers Insist that we really have
no American poet save Whitman. Tne
earller l'ngliah critics raised Longlellow ti
a pinnacle of fame ; some later ones dismiss
him as 'the poet el the commonplace ' tti
educated gentleman, who made lair transla
tions and neatly copied foreign mnleUiir
the home publle or the lews cultured erdei.
lu Longfellow's cae pratse has been follewe 1
by blame ; but some recent nngllsh over ever
praise et Auierlcau work especially lu fic
tion Is scarcely less te he deplored tban tne
former sharp criticism. Once Sidney Smith
niade his nacknejed query, Jehn Keats dli
missed all American books as worthless, and
Southey could tlnd here nothing te praise
but Mrs. Hroeks' ' .aphlel , or the Ilride or
Seven.' New Londen and Farls and Iierllu
Jeurnnlsnre telling us that our stories are the
best In tbe world, and that this or that new
American novel Is sure of a permanent place
In the literature or the language. We knew
that the old deuouiKeri wero wrong, let us
net be loe mrei that the later pralsura ere
rignt. lleth fall Inte a latal error of porapte

lie concludcaen this telnt with the follow
ing Just declaration " In n word, foreign
criticism of American Itlorature Is, with all
Usability, discernment and appreciation, tce
erten limited In view, bound by the meJern
fondness ter neat tlctlon-meugerlug, or
dawled bv unfamiliar forms or verse or J01'.
It does net help us In the matter el llterarv
perspective. We dare net rely upon it
for a Just description of our works

that he knows what he is about, and that we
