"Mr. Cabot has taken a modest view of his duty; he has not attempted an estimate of Emerson or of his just place among the men and the spiritual forces of his generation. He has rightly judged that the time has not yet come for that. What we find. then, in these volumes is an admirably stated narrative of the facts of Emerson's uneventful life, some account of his ancestry, large extracts from Emerson's journals, . . . and a considerable number of his letters. Interwoven with these are accounts of Emerson's nearer friends and of his relation to some of the leading events and movements of his time. ... Mr. Cabot appears to us to have done a difficult task with singular skill and success."-Nation, xlv. 215.

He has also prepared reports for the government on the condition of the people in parts of Western Louisiana. 1. Old Creole Days, N. York, 1879; new ed., 1883, 2 vols. 12mo. 2. The Grandissimes: a Story of Creole Life, N. York, 1880, 12mo.

"In painting the Creole life of New Orleans at the beginning of the century he has in effect broken new ground, and, as the soil is rich, one's first impression is that he has contented himself with merely overturning it. But, rich as it is, it needs an artist to exploit it with the success shown in The Grandissimes,' and Mr. Cable is a literary artist of unusual powers. . . . The poetic vein in Mr. Cable is well developed and defined, and the picture he conjures up from the old Louisiana levees and swamps is steeped in sentiment. . . . It would be doing The Grandissimes' an injustice, however, to imply that it is only a charming picture cleverly painted. It deals with graver elements of social existence than mere picturesqueness; and though the society it depicts no longer exists, and its problems have been solved by time, it is none the less a serious and important work. What prevents The Grandissimes' from taking the front rank in contemporary fiction is its weakness in portraiture of an intellectual interest."Nation, xxxi. 415.

and much research and travel have enabled her to tell | everything about him that the reader is likely to want to know. When we add that Mrs. Caddy has thoughts upon many things entirely unconnected with botany, and that she expresses them as they arise, it may be thought that poor Linnæus must be altogether lost. This, however, is really not the case. . . . The history of science presents no more attractive figure, and Mrs. Caddy, amidst all her digressions, has not failed to do it justice."-Spectator, 1x.

Caine, Thomas Henry Hall, b. 1853, at Runcorn, Cheshire, Eng.; was brought up to the architectural profession, and contributed to the Builder and other architectural journals. In 1880 he abandoned architecture for journalism, and in 1881 went to London, where he became house-mate of Dante Gabriel Rossetti in Cheyne Walk, Chelsea, remaining there until the death of Rossetti. In collaboration with Mr. Wilson Barrett he has produced two plays, Ben-my-Chree, (dramatized from The Deemster,) and Good Old Times.
