The fact that the directors of the Bdinburgh Philosophical Institution have recently given orders for "Ouida's" novels to be withdrawn from circulation, has given rise to considerable discuuion in the daily press. It is asked—if this system of banishment be carried out, where is the line to be drawn? Bat the fact is, that the talented authoress hag brought the condemnation of her works on herself by the motive of the repulsive story " Moths." It is a mistake to conclude that the higher fiction of the present day is in any sense immoral. A great deal of trash is, no doubt, published; but the works of recognised authors, with a few exceptions, are narked by grace of expression and refinement of thoughtHerald.
