How a literary project is apt to grow under the author's handa is illustrated in the work which Professor W. P. Trent, of Calum- bia University, is doing on Defoe, Defua has been with him, he tells tha editor of the New York Literary Review, Lince the autumn of 1904. At first he was

In apologizing for non-attend- ance at the W. H. Smith and San eentenars dinner Lord Morley wrote that the death of Admirali Culme-Seymour had left him the Jonly survivor of the original members of the Order of Merit. He had evidently been misled by the similarity in ramd and pro- fession, for it is Admiral Culme. Seymour's Cousin, Admiral Sir Edward Hobart Seymour, who
amongst Lord Morley's foriginal colleagues. Both were engaged in the China war sitty years ago. and Admiral Sir Edward Hobart Seymour, then in command of the China Station, led the Allied naval forces during the Boxer outbreak. It may be interesting to recall the names; of those originally con- stituted members by King Ed- mard V11, in 1902, in celebration of his coronation. They were Earl Roberts and Viscount Kit- chener, both of whom may be said to have fallen in the war. Sir Edward Keppel, Viscount Wolseley, Lord Lister, Lord Ray- leigh, Lord Kelvin. Sir William Huggina, George Frederick Watts, William Edward Hattpole Lecks. Lord Morley then plain John "), and Sir Edward Sey- mour, as already mentioned.

At the beginning of the present year there were eighteen, so we are growing more worthy with time.
