we come to write anything more formal than an invitation to lunch, we are driven ‘back to the Bible or to .Shakespeare, or even to Chaucer. \y e do not—heav6nr help us ! —achieve tlie beauty and strength and simplicity of such models ; hut we copy them wittingly or unwittingly, according to such powers as we may command. And however badly Vte may write it, we cannot fail to discover in the English language a rhythm and flexibility which makes clearness tolerably eas> and beauty not impossible.—“ Morning Post.” ." .
