He is extremely painstaking in, bis own work, but in none of bis poetry are there evidences of stiltedness or priggishness. In otber words, -lie pre- fers beauty plain to beauty varnisbed.- It is hoped that Chicago will give bimn a rousing reception. char ming."- Admnirai Sir William Goodenougli, president of the Royal Geographical society.
