ANNE DOUGLAS SEDGWICK. The novels of Anne Douglas Sedgwick, in private life Mrs Basil de Selincourt, are not best-sellers; theirs is a refined subtlety not in the least “popular." Yet she is not difficult to read. Her writing is distinguished in many ways, but by nothing more than by exquisite lucidity. It is the quietness with which she penetrates life and character that excludes her from the admiration of readers who, like roses, but how differently, are “gross feeders."
