Mr. Frank Mathew's " A Child in the Temple"
(John Lane) Is a delightful book handlcuppod
with an 111-choscn. misleading title. To ninety
in a hundred readers such a title will suggest a
work on some religious subject, whereas this is
a mere series of amus.n? epUodcs the adven
tures of a day and a night strung together by a
K'.ilful hand and en lowed with all the churm of
j, romance and tho graceful fancy of ouu of the
gh "New Arabian Nights." The temple of tho

When, in 1893. Dr. VIlllam Wright Itsnad
hit book, " Tho Brontes In Ireland; or. Facts
Stranger Than Fiction." It was received by
English critics with a chorus of almost unani
mous praise, ono enthusiastic gentleman find
ing in it "a real Homeric ring," and many
others giving it welcome as a groat literary
achievement. But a modern Nemesis has been
waiting for tho doitor with a hatchet in hla
sleeve, and now Mr. Angus M. MncKny, having
carefully sharpened bis weapon, proceeds in tbo
pages of "Tbe Brontes, Fact and Fiction"
(Dodd. Mead & Co.), metaphorically to lift tho
offending author's sculp. Romantic incidents
narmteu by the doctor are taken, one by
one, nnd pulled to pieces. That excellent story
of the Ilery Undo Hugh, who armed himself
w lth a bludgi on and came from Ireland to kill a
Qunrtrrlu lltrieurr, la proved to bo apocryphal.
Which seems a pity, for it had a line dramatic
bloo l-and-thuudcr flavor, and the picture of tbe
avenger, making blr will and setting forth to
track down and slay tho villain (wbo was a wo
man, by tbe way), was ono calculated to impress
tho critic with a proper scno o' his
responsibilities. Then. too. the theory of
an Irish origin for the Brontfi novels
is blown to tho winds, and all this
work of destruction is done In tho most polite
and plensan way. "I make no charge of dis
honesty against Dr. William Wright." saya Mr.
MacKay In his preface. "I concern myself with
the credibility of the book, not with the motives
or character of its author. In tho seventeenth
century, long before the kev to Egyptian hiero
glyphics wns discovered, Klrcher professed to
civo translations of Egvptian Stela;; he wns
I enthusiastic, he was honest, he had spent J cars
in studying the subject; nothing could bo laid to
his charge except perhaps a little unconscious
self-deception, nnd yet hie translations bore not
tbc slightest resemblance tn tbe truemeaniiigof
the originals. So Dr. Wright has, I am In
formed, been diligent in inquiry, and I do not
accuso him of bad faitc, but I am convinced
that his volume is unreliable almost from cover
to cover "
In a shorter essay, entitled "Fresh Light on
Bronte Biography," the old, old atory of Char
lotte and her Brussels tutor, M. Hcger, Is retold
and Mr. MacKay la at great paint to prove that
there wasnothlngdlscrcditablc in their relation
ship and surely no decent man or woman ever
believed otherwise and further that tbe plain,
awkward pupil was the- victim of a hopeless,
unselfish, and unrequited passion for her tutor
which, even if It bn true, might well be
left untold of now. "Where did Charlotte
Bronte obtain that intlmato knowledge
of love, in which the surpasses all novel
ists I" seems to us nn entirely unnecessary
and unprofitable sort of speculation. What, we
ssondcr, would hnppen to Ihe inquisitive person
wbo put such a question in the case of one of
our modern young women writers of the " Key
notes" and kindred schools f
If It be true that Now York swarms with
jonng men geniuses unrecognized who walk
fro-n house to bouse In lower Fifth avenue with
pockets bulging with rejected manuscript, it Is
tho more remarkablo that publishers should
find It necessary to import from London books
such as Mr. G. II, Br.rgln's " Fortune's Foot
UUIs" (Applutonn. It seems scarroly worth
while to Import and dress up In dainty print and
binding a stupid farrago of vulgarities tricked
out with such specimens of cockney wit as
might pisa muster In some fifth-rate London
" Litorary " club. Wc can produce some pretty
poor books of our onn, but nothing quite equal
to this volume, which is thus dedicated to Sir
Henry Irving:

Mr. Curler Reynolds of Albany prints tn a
pamphlet an essay which ho read before tbe
Albany Institute on tho interesting subject of
tho recurrence of letters. With considerable
industry he has compiled a new table showing
the relatlvo frequency of each letter of the
alphabet In tbo Knglish of standard literature
and tbe newspapers of the day. He presents the
, results of his count us "offering a simple solu-
j tlouof cryptograms and a satisfactory arrange-
ment of a printer's rASe." There Is always moro
or less of Interest in such investigations, when
