monumental work of the eighteenth as distinguished
from the seventeenth century, the century of the
Bible and of Milton. Finally, in the nineteenth cen¬
tury, Sartor Resartus, the Essays of Emerson, and
Unto this Last, are related & characteristic attempts
to turn back the Everlasting Nay of scepticism into
the Everlasting Yea of affirmation, & in the presence
of the admittedly inexplicable ÔC sublime mystery of
the whole, toset man again at work upon thecreation
of the fit, the seemly, and the beautiful. Browning's
Men & Women, now in the press, conceived about
the same time, is a more direft presentment of the
same positive solution.

These Books printed, as a first essay, the whole
field of literature remains open to seleft from.To-day
there is an immense reproduction in an admirable
cheap form, of all Books which in any language have
stood the test of time. But such reproduction is not
a substitute for the more monumental production of
the same works, & whether by The Doves Press or
some other press or presses, such monumental pro¬
duction, expressive of man's admiration, is a legiti¬
mate ambition and a public duty. Great thoughts
deserve & demand a great setting, whether in build¬
ing, sculpture, ceremonial,-orotherwise; & the great
works of literature have again and again to be set
forth in forms suitable to their magnitude. And this
