worthy periods before this, but the seer has again appeared. The age of Swinburne and Meredith has been left behind; a literary synthesis of the new forces and problems that have arisen since they ceased to write is in the making, and awaits the man of genius to give it immortal form. So much of our intellectual effort is nowadays expended in business and science that we cannot look with particular confidence for the immediate appearance of the really great man of letters. When he does appear, however, we may be sure that he will be no dilettante or cloistered anchorite, but one who knows well the world of men and has faced for himself all the conflicts and perplexities of modern life.
