    lines on that author . Next we note Professor Nettleship ' s * John Conington . ' This is an

    exceedingly well-written biography of a somewhat over-praised and over-rated man . This account

    is , however , written with good taste , and it possesses more human interest than most of

    the other lives . Booksellers and publishers will turn with

    special interest to the biographies of the Conjstableswhose connection with Scott "would

    alone suffice , to make the name memorable . The notice of the painter Constable is written

    by Mr . Cosmo Monkhouse , whose cheery remarks are a model of judicious criticism .

    Mr . Laughton writes on * Captain Cook ' with all his usual care and learning . Ke has

    also added to his other virtues brevity , for the aforesaid article is a little over seven columns

    —rthat is to say , it is exactly the proper length . As a contrastwe next come across tlie first

    Earl of Shaftesbury , , to describe whom JJMr . Osmund Airy takes about forty columns ! Mr .

    Stephen manages to do the third earl in five ; and even Dr . Blaikie describes the last earl in

    seven . Of course the first is the greatest , but the space occupied is out of all proportion to

    that In greatness the w ^ y . of biography , all things are . fish

    that come to Mr . Stephen ' s net . Thus we have a life of Sir St . "Vincent Cottonwho is

    described as gambler and driver of the Bri , ghton coach , and who , we are told , is distinguished

    in ' the hunting , shooting , racing , cricketing , and pugilistic world . * Mr . G . C . Boase / in

    the moderate space of a little over a column , gives an account of this gentleman . Another '

    notable having somewhat kindred associations is Mr . Sam Ooweli ( 1820-1864 ) , who , we are

    told , has been hailed as the virtual founder of the music-hall entertainment , and who gave

    such satisfaction that ' Evans ' s / of Cfovent Gardenand Charles Morton ' s Canterbury

    Hall owed , ckiefly to him their popularity ! Thackeray ' s mention of Evans ' s may «/ be

    remembered here , and , curious though the subjects of those biographies arethey show

    the national comprehensiveness of , the editor's plan . The Hev . J . W . Ebsworth , F . S . A .,

    chronicles Cowell ' s life with evident fidelity . Who will say that the world knows nothing of

    its greatest men /
