Mr. M. D. Conway once well said that the "Contemporary Review" and the " Fort- nightly " were simply circular letters addressed 294 STUDIES IN HISTORY AND LETTERS by a few cultivated gentlemen to those belonging to the same club. It is not until a man knows himself to be writing for a hundred thousand readers that he is compelled to work out his abstrusest thought into clearness, just as a suf- ficient pressure transforms opaque snow into pellucid ice. In our great American magazines, history a...nd science have commonly undergone this process, and the reader may be gratified, not ashamed, at comprehending them. The best remedy for too profound a defer- ence toward European literary work is to test the author on some ground with which we in America cannot help being familiar. It is this which makes a book of travels among us, or even a lecturing trip, so perilous for a foreign reputation ; and among the few who can bear this test — as De Tocqueville, Von Hoist, the Comte de Paris — it is singularly rare to find an Englishman.
