M. Manel will be well remembered by Parisians as the author who has written so much and so charmingly under the nom de plume of ' Le Vi- comte de Bornier.' " Whether this was or was not fair to the gentleman I had seen so highly honored I do not know, but it was calculated to make him a literary light of interest.
You are told in Paris that the title of Acade- mician is the only one remaining under the re- public which counts for anything ; and, on the THE GRAND PRIX AND OTHER PRICES 1 55 other
... hand, you hear the Academy called a pleas- ant club for old gentlemen, to which new mem- bers are elected not for any great work which they are doing in the world, but because their point of view is congenial to those who are al- ready members. All that can be said against the Academy by a Frenchman has been printed byAlphonse Daudet in The Immortals. In that novel he charges that the Academy numbs the style of whosoever wears its green livery ; he says that he who enters its door leaves orig- inality behind, that he grows conservative and self-conscious, and that whatever freshness of thought or literary method may have been his before his admittance to its venerable portals is chilled by the severe classicism of his thirty-nine brethren.
