We do not want them to moralise,or wax maud- lin, or intersperse their narrative with pathetic and philanthropic reflections. We want them to tell us what they saw and what they heard, not with pre-Raphaclite minuteness, but even as these things are impressed on their memo- ries—for the memory of man is, for all pur- poses of reproduction, a thousand times supe- rior to note-book: journals, whieh invaria- bly contain superfluities of no actual interest, and terribly wearisome when repeated.
