to the formation of final literary judgments upon living writers. The very definite antagonism existing is shown by their own writings. Eobert Louis Stevenson, the first, probably, of English Eomancists, while writing on this subject, introduces the following cutting passage : " Hence, " he says, " when we read the English Eealists, the incredulous wonder... with which we observe the hero's constancy under the submerging tide of dulness, and how he bears up with his jibbing sweetheart and endures the chatter of idiot girls, and stands by his whole unfeatured wilderness instead of seeking relief in drink or foreign travel. Hence, in the French, in that meat market of middle-aged sensuality, the disgusted surprise with which we see the hero drift sidelong, and practically quite untempted, into every description of misconduct and dishonour. In each we miss the personal poetry, the enchanted atmos- phere, that rainbow work of fancy that clothes what is naked and seems to ennoble what is base ; in each, life falls dead like dough, instead of soaring away like a balloon into the colours of the sunset ; each is inconceivable, for no man lives in the ex- ternal truth, among salts and acids, but in the warm phantasmagoric chamber of his brain with the painted windows and the storied walls.
