From Mr, Foster's masy of fnets, incldents, and letters Mr. Colvin has drawn the material for hls work, which embodies alf that must people would care to know, and Is as fong aa the patience of the average rend- er will endure, Wo do: not accept Mr. Colvin's dictunt as to the truc position to which Landor should be assigned. ills ec- centricltles were not freaks of genius, but the outcroppings of an ungovernable temper or the results of a stubburn, overbearing, and insolent disposition.

Not that Landor dtd not pbs sess ability; not that he did not write sume works entitled “to a place in the history of Engtlsh iternture, Bat he never did show by his writings that ho was entitled to the high: rank Mr. Colvin wold assign nlm as won by his own efforts, Noauthor of aurked fores and. capacity would have so publicly testified to the decay and corruption of his own genius as to have written The Last Frult of an Old ‘Tree or © Dry Sticks Pagoted."
