Pedantry is a first cousin of dullness and a brother of priggish. ness and conceit, and yet how harm- less, how forgivable, how engaging, even in some cases it looks. Some- times an auther appreciates his own tendency to pedantry, and satirizes or gratifies it by projecting it into a sort of disagiated personality or chat acter: Mr. Lowell, who had a pro pensity to pedantry, invented Parson. Wilbur as the emanation of J. R. L deep in English and Yankee philology. Scott's prefaces were all too short, if not for the reader, for the author to express his inexhaustible vein on antiquarian and curious lore. He had to give life to characters with a streak of more of pedantry, like Baron Bradwardine and Monkbarns. They are delightful, and yet they are bores to some extent. When the pedantry of a man of genius is apt to make us yawn, what shall we think of the boundless steppes of
