A LOST ART.
Jn a recently published story by
Mr. Walter Hesnnt, that charming
niitluir 1ms tho toinurity to iiMlrm
that letter writing as an nit in not
extinct. Nay, he goes further. He
alleges that letters ns copious and
as eliarming lis any of the last
century are now constantly passing
through the l'ost Olllee. ' And lie
adds to the sum of his hardihood by
ridiculing the correspondents of it
by-gone time as people who had (o
weigh every phrase, anil think out
their epigrams and sweet things for
woeks beforehand. The reason for
this laborious method he attributes
to I he fact that in the old days the
writer was conscious that his letters
would be shown about and, very
likely, read aloud. It is perhaps
scarcely fair to take the casunl ex
pression of a novelist as seriously
as though it were a problem in
Kuclid, or a dissertation on Conic
Sections. Moreover, Mr. Ucsant is
a humourist, with a touch delicate'
at times as that of Charles Lainb ;
and humourists, we know, have n
sad habit of turning facts topsy
turvy for the fun of the thing and
mere joy in the epiaintness of the
inversion. It may hap, however,
that the author of Thclieuolt of
Man is in earnest. His ridicule of
the laboured epistles of our an
cestors may bo genuine, and his be
lief in the sweetness and light of
modern letter writing may be a real
and simple faith. In that case, the
statement cannot be permitted to go
unchallenged. Conversation and
correspondence have alike deterior
ated, and for reasons which arc not
far to seek. It is true that the lower
orders, having, owing to the bene
ficent operation of the School Board,
acquired a greater facility of ex
pression and a greater precision,
the ill-spelt and conventional forms
which passed as letters between
servant-maids have ceased to be in
vogue with those deserving charac
ters. No longer does Mary in the
country address her friend in town
in the well-worm exordium, " My
dear Jane I hope you are quite well
as this leaves me at present." Edu
cation has ameliorated, and indeed
reformed, all that. But in the upper
and middle classes there is observ
able no such corresponding improve
ment. The art of letter writing is
a lost art lost, because not prac
tised ; and not practised because the
necessity for the art has ceased to
be.
There are certain numerically
small and select coteries in which
even now the letter writer may be
discovered. Literary people, for
instance, arc much given to the in
terchange of epistles sometimes
with a freedom which is also affected.
Mr. Uesant is u literary man, and
his correspondence, we may, without
impertinence say, is principally "with
gentlemen of his own delightful
calling. We are happy to think that,
the novelist's correspondenco with
publishers is considerable. But
publishers, like other men, have
sadly fallen off in their correspond
ence since the early days of the
century, and their communications
are now valued rather for the en
closure contained in the letter than
for the letter itself. For the pur
poses of this argument, however, I
may assume that the majority of
the novelist's correspondents arc
those of his own profession. On
this account he will, no doubt, take
a sanguine view of correspondence
generally. He judges the mass by
the contents of his own letter-box.
That is no fair test. The literary
man writes tho vast majority of his
matter for tho public. If ho pens a
sentence, ho is conscious that hun
dreds and thousands of eyes will
peruse it. This knowledge na
turally begets a feeling of res
ponsibility, and in some writers a
habit of restraint, or an affoctation of
manner. When the author ceases
work for the day, when he has if
we may venture on so commercial
an allusion put up the shutters and
shut the shop, he iinds it impossible
to leave tho tricks of tho trade be
hind him. Inawkwardly, and with
results infinitely moro studied and
formal when penning an epistle to a
friend than when producing material
for that which authors fondly call
"the million." Tho late lamented
Alexander Pope took infinite pains
with his correspondence, and,
indeed was so vain of his efforts
as a letter writer that he often
thought it a sin to waste a more
than usually happy effort on
one individual. Thus the Dean
of St. Patrick occasionally received
a communication from the little
poet in Twickenham containing
scandal and epigram and happy
classical quotation of which he
thought himself to bo the sole de
positary, but which, with altered
name and address, had been for
warded lo some other gentle or
noble odmirer of the famous trans
lator of the Iliad. When tho lettors
of modern literary men aro publish
ed, the some straining after effect
is usually observable. That latest
victim of tho "d d good-natured
friend," Thomas CarJylc, is affected
and self-oonscious to a degroo In
Ids correspondence. And, indeed,
the majority of nuthors produce
their letters with an idea that some
daj "love, 1 know not when or
how" but sonic daj, they will be
come the property of tho public as
much as their books, or articles, or
essays.
A general introduction of the
typo writer will, we apprehend, do
much to reduce the correspondence
of authors to the dull level observed
in that of meaner mortals. This
ingenious instrument is being largely
adopted by members of the literary
craft, lt'is dilllcult to understand
a nmii becoming witty or epigram
matic, or even garrulous, while
working a machine. Though, truth
to tell, we know of one man of
genius who turns off verses on thu
type writer works poems on an
implement played like a piano, so
that he appears at the same moment
to be engaged in producing the
libretto aud composing, the tune.,
His, however, is an exceptional
case, and his poetry is not likely to
take a high place in the national
literature. The adoption of the
new invention will have an unhappy
effect in depressing less mechanical
operators, and there is no reason
why tho novelist of the immediate
future should not commence his
letter to the poet with, "Dear Sir,
1 have to acknowledge your favor
of the 20th inst. ;" and end it with,
"I remain, dear Sir, your obedient
servant, etc."
There arc causes, however, less
fanciful than the extended use of
tho type writer which have led to a
deterioration in our correspondence.
The hurry and jostle of the times
leave little leisure to those who may
have a taste for that almost for
gotten art. People' have a greater
mistrust of each other. They do
not care nowadays to wear the heart
upon the sleeve, or exhibit their
nature on notcpapcr with an inter
esting and sometimes amusing can
dour. The world has received an
access of cynicism. It has received,
moreover, an access of vulgarity.
'The ;jaraenM sits in high places;
the huckster is your most distin
guished patron of the arts ; and the
finest productions of the painter or
the sculptor find themselves in the
galleries of the new rich. Thus
gossip, which in the old letter-writer
formed a not inconsiderable part of
polite correspondence, has to deal
with personages who are forbidding
accidents in society. Scandal, too,
has lost its piquancy because it has
become general. Stimulating epi
sodes in the "Hig-lif" arc discussed
with freedom by City clerks and
omnibus lads. There are no more
letters, because there, is nothing left
to write about.
"A book's a book, although there's
nothing in't," wrote Lord Byron.
The same, however, by no means
holds good about a letter. Its
merit consists ni the elegant and
racy recital of facts not generally
known. And m these printed letters,
of which we possess so vast a quan
tity, scandal will be found, to con
stitute "the cream of the correspon
dence." ,
In illustrating this alleged decline
of the art ,of letter writing, we do
not, of course, including love letters.
"Elia" has given a list of "books
that arc not bopks.'J In ,some such
category-niust beplacedptlie amor
ous epistolary interchange between
those suffering from this midsum
mer madness. They arc letters that
are not letters. Herein the natural
man exhibits himself with a comic
candour. Eyen famous literary men,
wounded with the' fatal dart, hayc
committed epistolary follies calcu
lated to make angels weep. The
artless art of .love-letter writing
alone survives and flourishes. All
others have gone by tho board.
