THE

LITERARY NOTES,

Dr. Paul Van Dyke's "Renascence Portraits" are promised immediately. The book consists of studies of three of the most brilliant men of the Renascence. typical contemporary scholars in Italy, England, and Gormany. One was Pietro

Aretino, called, because of his bitter satires, the Scourge of Princes; the second, Thomas Cromwell, friend of Cranmer and minister to Henry VIII; and the third, Maximilian I., Emperor of the Romans— the first who bore that title without being crowned in the Eteran! City. The book is to be published by Messrs. Archibald Constable and Co.

The same firm have also nearly ready biographical and critical studies of seven- teen "Early Victorian Novelists," by Mr Lewis Melville. It is only possible to mention a few typical names in Mr Melville's list. Amongst the rest he pro- poses to write about Bulwer Lytton, Douglas Jerrold, Samuel Lover, Charles Kingsley, Wilkie Collins, and Anthony Trollope. Such a book ought to prove of 1976 uncommon interest.

Three important books are to be publish.

Mr John Murray's.publications this week do not lack the charm of variety. "Things Indian," by Mr William Crooke,, of the Bengal Civil Service, is, we understand, a sort of unconventional handbook of out-of- the-way information about the Empire. "Stúdies of English Mystics" is an expansionby Dr Inge of his well-known Bampton Lectures, delivered in 1899, based' on further research. "The Transition of Agriculture," by Mr Edwin Pratt, is a practical examination of the land question in England, though not primarily in the light of the Fiscal controversy. "Mr Pratt supports his view of the existing situation, we believe, by a wide appeal to impressive facts and statistics, which throw into relief, not merly the existing state, but the prospects of farming on the small scale in England.

The new edition of Burke's "Landed Gentry of Great Britain". will be ready early in May. The book, as every one who has occasion to consult it is aware, is a perfect mine of information in regard to the untitled country families of position in every part of the United Kingdom.

It may be remembered that in December last Mr E. Grant Richards, the publisher, offered two prizes-the first a for night in Italy, and the second a week in Holland and Belgium, at Mr Richards's expense to the writers of the two best criticisms, favourable or unfavourable, of Mr Filson Young's novel, The Sunds of Pleasure." These awards have just been made. The first prize has been gained by Mr Frank Sanguinetti, 86, High-street, Southall, and the second by Mr R.D. Gillman, F.R.G.S., Mr St. Albans. Heidelberg House, Sanguinetti describes Mr Young's, nach. debated book as "a sane yet sympathetic presentment of a side of modern life hither- to either totally ignored or grotesquely travestied in English fiction. While no attempt is made to gloss its essential baseness, it is not painted as all foul." Mr Gillman says: "The subject is old; it is unutterably sad; but it is by no means indecent. One of the great factors in human life is examined in a state of aberra- tion, as keenly as the intermost organs of complex humanity are examined by the emotionless surgeon." These extracts, of course, form, only a part of more lengthily the expressed judgments. We trust these gentlemen will enjoy their holiday.

THE CHINA MAIL.

The annual meeting of seatholders in the Union Church was held in the Church yes- terday afternoon, in the presence of a number of members of the Church. The Rev. C. H. Hickling was in the chair. The report of the Hon. Secretary (Mr A. Mac. kenzie) was read. The statement of ac- counts disclosed a satisfactory state of affairs. The sum of $1000 was added to the Pastorate Reserve Fund and a balance of $33.78 carried forward. This despite the fact that there remains a sum of $390 to be collected.

On the motion of Mr J. Dyer Ball, seconded by Mr H. G. Simms the report and statement of accounts were adopted.

Mr W. G. Humphreys we re-elected Honorary Treasurer on the motion of Mr What The Government Is Doing. W. M. Watson seconded by Mr D. Wood.

INSANITARY RESUMPTIONS.

The ever upward tendency of ronts in the Colony and consequently increased cost of living is a question that year by year forces itself more upon public attention.

The Chairmw announced that Mr A. Mackenzie who had carried out the duties of Honorary Secretary for the past seven or eight years had decided to retiro.

People are asking to-day whether this problem is any nearar solution than it was when it was first brought up some years ago.

If I wore still in Government employ I should, without hesitation, say that the pay of all Government servants ought to be raised at once. Being, however, a taxpayer, and therefore a sort of part owner, I am not convinced, but am open to conviction on the point. The late Cecil Rhodes expressed my sontiments with accuracy when he said; "A man's services are worth exactly as much as he can get for them." Of course any nunn may make the mistake of thinking himself indespensable-the truth being that pro- bably a thousand men could be found to take up his work where he left it off, and that five hundred at least could do it better.

CONSTANTINOPLE, April 3. In Turkey'e "good old days the Sultan'a Ministers enjoyed what accident insurance companies would consider Ahazardous occupations.

When it became generally known that Redvan Pasha had been killed, the first whispered question was, "Is it by superior orders ?" Mini-tors and notables were in a fever of anxiety to learn the truth, for their personal safety depended on the anawer. If the death was by the Sultan's orders, there was nothing more to be said; for their lives are his to take at his pleasure, The fear was lost this should be the first of a series of assassinations of Ministers and favourites. If the authors went unpunished, who could consider his life safe?
