Sir E. Clarke on Literature. Sir E. Clarke lectured before a at the Working % J-dre "College, Great Ormond-st., on “The Glory and Decay of English Literature in the Reign of Victoria.” Prof. Dicey, principal of the college, presided, and briefly introduced the lecturer as an old friend of the institution. Sir Edward referred to the literary giants who came into existence at the commencement of the Victorian era, mentioning particularly two poets, Alfred Tennyson and Robert Browning ; two great fictionists, Dickens and Thackeray; and two historians, Macaulay and Fronde. It was, he said, however, sad to think how Literature had fallen in later years. He had mentioned six great writers of the past. What about to-day ? We had not got one. (Cries of “ Hardy ,T and “ Kipling.”) No one could expect to always have great literary giants in our midst, but it was an extraordinary thing that we had not got one. We had no great novelist. (Cries of “ Stevenson.") Louis Stevenson was dead, rejoined Sic- fedward. Kipling had written a splendid poem, “The Recessional,” but He had not done much else. (“ Oh, oh,”) ■ Would anyone suggest for one moment that we had got a poet ? (Laughter.) As to the Poet Laureate, them was nothing more to be said further than he was the Poet Laureate. (Renewed laughter.)
