Here and there— but more rarely, I can- not but think — you may find a Frenchman capable of returning the compliment. But these are mere exceptions, proving the rule. Thackeray's ' Sketch- Book,' Francis Child's poem, in which he speaks of Mr. Macdonald's beloved Paris as The bug-bright thing that know nor love nor pity, Flaunting her bare shame to the summer sky — these are the true expressions of the average English- man's feelings towards France and the French. Tennyson wished the narrow sea... which separates us was 'a whole Atlantic broad.'

A friend of mine, who belongs to that — to me — €xasperatingly mysterious class, the cultured ultra-Jingo, remarked to me recently that his idea of a perfect •scheme of things would be one in which the entire globe would have fallen into the hands of the English race, specimens of other peoples being preserved under glass frames in a museum of curiosities.
