Judge Johns sold that the case has no

"No coart has erer enjoined an ec

way. The audience was perfectly.de
llghted with the address.
To those who really love literature,
even .Its most transient' modes hav
a certain meaning and Intereet. To
one who does not love literature fxr
Its own sake. I fear any comment
upon Its passing, ever-varying forms
may seem merely trivial. a grave
treatment of things not grave In them
selves. The reading public Is made
up. Indeed, of many who are not born
readers. Literature rests back upon
love of a book. The book may be
enjoyed In solitude, aa one may Jlke
to ride alone along a woodland path;
and yet the reading of a good book
may iclve delight to thousands of ad
mirers at orvoe without lesMenlng any
one man's pleasure.
The new achoo! of criticism has
made us conscious of the ori&in and
development, the disappearance or
persistence., of this and that element
in . the national mind. It has traced
th Influence of climate and soil. In
stitutions and politics, religion ana
social theory, upon the subject matter
of prune and verne. This may sound
formidable to the layman, but from
Talne to his Istest dissenting dlscple.
how attractively It has been serve
1
up to us!
These trained students of historical
periods have mapped not only the
evolution of Ideas, but the parallel
development of literary forms. Take.
for Illustration, the period of Puri
tanism. There Is plenty here, surely,
to reward the student of Ideas, who
wishes to observe the Kngtlxh mind
elevated to noble heights of Impas
sioned feeling.
Fashion likewise plays a curlou
role In the formation of literary
type. Let us take the displacement
of one literary type by another, as
fur. instance, the triumph of the
psychological novel Jn this country
and England In the seventies. It waa
cosy to assert, and many critics did as
sert, that the time for the romance
of adventure had forever gone by. that
external events had proved less sig
nificant and interesting, artistically,
than Internal state of . thought and
emotion. Jt seemed to prove the
truth of Professor ltrnnder Matthew'
leasing theory thst "Fiction dealt
first with the Impossible, then with
the Improbable, third with the Pro
liable, and now at last with th In
evitable. : .
The sale of any book Is often In
Inverse ratio to Its literary excel
lence. It Is still harder to see that
the type as a type has had anything
to do with their extraordinary vogue.
When you simply say that the Ameri
can historical romance has been the
fashion, you come nearer the scientific
truth of tho matter.
N'efther la the craze for the book
of the hour anything' new. Ilyron
"woke to find himself famous as he
said In as literal a sense as any of
tho men or women whose faces stare
us out of countenance in the public
prints today. The difference lies In
th universal diffusion' of the con
temporary newspaper and magazine.
In the ready communication between
literary canltals and country readers. In
tho development of the art of advertising-.
Iterary notoriety Is easier to
gain than It ever waa before.
In short, the evolution of literary
typea under contemporary conditions
does not ! seem to follow any known
law or progress. There la action ana
reaction, a recoil from sentiment to
brut fact and from brut fact back
to sentiment; we grow romantic rr
tealistlc by cycles; we. shift our an
chorage from prose to poetry, and
back agin to prose. From century to
century a certain progression can In
deed be traced, but by no mean an In
variable .progress from lower forms
to higher. Everywhere there Is the
Invincible -jurat for novelty that lurks
In the human spirit; the good thin
com and the good things go. but

fashion bring the best things round
again. If one will only watt.
How docs fashion affect the Influ
ence of the great writer? I have al
ready remarked that the scientific
critic of literature makes, scanty
allowance for his power or caprice.
It Is the nature of personality to es
cape analysis, to defy demoiintratliwt.
And precisely because a literary per
sonality attracts us so lllogically. holds
us by such Intangible though un
breakable bonds, appeals to our sub
tlest social Instincts It Illustrate:
even better than a literary type, tho
sphere of fashions in literature.
The brutality or the spirituality o
any one author is . contagious. It be
comes possible to trace the fashions
set by a single triter as they iuis
over Into the more general faxhione
established by a school or group of
authors. Let me try to sum up defi
nitely the value of this study pt liter
ary fashions. It aids, first, our sense
of proportion as we face the confused
and over-multiplying- mass of readable
books. It gives us prospective. Shake
speare was neither the savage that
Voltaire thought him, nor the angrl
that Mary Cowden Clarke would fain
believe him. There will always be
temporary aberrations In the public
taste, but If there were no aberrntions
we should not appreciate bo' well Its
normal state of sanity. More copies of
Peck' Bad boy. it is said, were wold
in a single year than of Emerson's
Essays In sixty yearw, but that fact
has nothing to do with the relative
literary rank of Emerson and Peck.
And. secondly, and 1 suppose because
It ministers to one's sense of propor
tion, a scrutiny of literature fashions
Is an unfailing resource fdr one's
sense of humor. For one Chatterton
who perishes through pride and neg
lect, there are a dozen chalatans who
grow fat through conceit and favor.
And. finally this scrutiny of literary
fashions teaches, more effectively than
some more pretentious studies, the per
manent value of1 real worth. Sincerity,
manliness, spirituality tell, in what
ever g-ulse. They cannot be disguised.
Daniel Webster looks grand, whether
sculptured In a Itoman toga or In the
American trousers of the year 1840.
Oenulno poetry touches the heart,
whether bound In the gilt annual or
keepsake of 185. or printed In a ten
cent mnicaxlnc of 1S04. The Images of
those we love are no less dear to us
because the family photograph pre
sents them to us in stocks and flower
ed waistcoats, or earrings and crlno
une. Iet us penetrate to the essenti
als. It Is silly to worship the old-fashioned
book tecause It Is old; It la more
silly stt'l to devour the new book
simply been us It Is new. Make fash
Ions serve you. Instead of you serving
the fashions. Notice them. - Conform
to them If vou think best. Often It will
be best. Dut do not be preoccupied
with them. .
Let us not forget to admire the great
books; we shall admire them, no
doubt, after the -fashion prevailing In
our own day; but through whatever
spectacle of custom wo may' gaze,
there will always be beauty there,
serene, tranquil. Imperishable.
