Mr. Beauloi Moore said that Scots desired to express his great contrition and he was quite glad that his downward path in criminal career had been checked.
The Recorder (Sir Ernest Wild, K.C.) passing sentence, said that Scott had disgraced one of the finest forces in the world. It was his dety to guard the premises of shop- keepers, but instead of doing so he broke into them.

An American, Mr. John T.

Contrary to the general idea, the "Inferno" proves to be by no means the most popular sco tion of the Poem, for if 128 people have found their favourite fertine in the "Inferno," 147 have chosen The them from the "Paradiso."

Gerhardt Hauptmann's awaited autobiographical romance, in two volumes, recently published in Berlin, bears the title of "The Book of Passion." It is as in- triguing to the German public as
was
ever Goethe's "Poetry and 'Truth."
Hermann Sudermann, who died last year, wrote long autobio- graphical passages and added to them entire portions of his friends' lives in his two last books, each of which was an independent" novel and entirely irrelevant to readers who had not the key to his life. But Hauptman, in his preface, professes to be telling the story of somebody else, and for that reason only the initiated will ever guesa where the truth lies-in the action itself or in the mental vision con- jured up by the poes afterwards, More than once the parallel with the Goethe of "Wilhelm Meister," as well as of "Poetry and Truth,'' recurs. There are passages of cri ticism and interpolated sketches in these two volumes which mark them as the work of a mature man, looking backwards and taking old diaries and manuscripts from his drawer as he does so.
