All Meredithians must possess _George Meredith, Some Characteristics,
by Richard Le Gallienne_. The book is a complete and excellent guide
to the novelist and the novels, a sort of Meredithian _Bradshaw_,
with pictures of the traffic superintendent, and of the head office at
Boxhill. Even Philistines may be won over by the blandishments of Mr.
Le GALLIENNE, from whom I learn, by the way, that GEORGE MEREDITH is
"the HARVEY of the Ego," and that he is not ADRIAN HARLEY. I hear,
also, that "daily, from one quarter or another, come critical cuff
and kick, to impress upon a numb public the latest example of its
immemorial purblindness." And the Baron adds this cufflet to the rest.
Mr. JOHN LANE has added a Bibliography, which is a model of minute
industry. So here's to the book of RICHARD and JOHN.
Among the Arts for obvious reasons not known to Ancient Greece is _The
Art of Cooking by Gas_. In a little book under this title, published
by CASSELL, Mrs. SUGG has undertaken to disclose its mysteries, and
set forth its attractions. No one could be better qualified for the
task, since Mrs. SUGG is the wife of WILLIAM SUGG of Charing Cross,
who has thrown more light on Modern London than CAMDEN did on its
ancient ways.
