The novelist is not denied a kind of hero worship. He is lionised at social gatherings, and people like to be told what he has for breakfast. But he is treated in the main as o sort of literary confectioner. People relish his sweets, but will not give a penny for his serious thoughts. The senurity of British prestige in the world, the supremacy of the English language owe a vast deal to the glories of

our splendid English literature; as a merely commercial and political asset Shakespeare and Milton are probably in the ultimate resort quite as important as English cutlery and porcelain. And, as Ger- position of a language and a nation, many recognised to her credit, the

OVERHEA ESTIMATES.

Dask, for example, the British view of Mr. Welle from that obtain ing outside these islands. Mr. A. G. Gardiner has pretty accurately expressed the more kindly British estimat when he enlarges on Mr. Wells immense and var ed output, and describes him as one of t:ose men whose heads are always on the steam." He recognises the almost uncanoy cleverness of the

man; be throws polite doubts on his clair to be regarded as more than clever.

But a French savant has called Mr. Welle "the most remarkable man in the world" I have heard consider- able Americans declare him to be the greatest British thinker of his time; and he is taken seriously by serious people on the Continent, from Madrid to Moscow. Perhaps it unnatural that sometimes Mr. Wells seems to take a malicious pleasure in
