FOOTNOTES
[1] “There is a twofold liberty, natural, and civil or federal. The
first is common to man with beasts and other creatures. By this,
man, as he stands in relation to man simply, hath liberty to do what
he lists; it is a liberty to evil as well as to good. This liberty
is incompatible and inconsistent with authority, and cannot endure
the least restraint of the most just authority. The exercise and
maintaining of this liberty makes men grow more evil, and in time to be
worse than brute beasts. This is that great enemy of truth and peace,
that wild beast, which all the ordinances of God are bent against,
to restrain and subdue it. The other kind of liberty I call civil or
federal; it may also be termed moral, in reference to the covenant
between God and man, in the moral law, and the politic covenants and
constitutions amongst men themselves. This liberty is the proper end
and object of authority, and cannot subsist without it; and it is a
liberty to that only which is good, just, and honest. This liberty you
are to stand for, with the hazard not only of your goods but of your
lives, if need be. Whatsoever crosseth this, is not authority, but a
distemper thereof. This liberty is maintained and exercised in a way
of subjection to authority.... So shall your liberties be preserved in
upholding the honour and power of authority amongst you.”--_History of
New England_, ii., 279-282.

[3] In her valuable study of “The Early American Novel,” New York,
1907 (published after these pages were in type), Miss Lillie Deming
Loshe remarks: “It is a significant fact that nearly all the directly
didactic novels are by known writers--writers of literary or
educational importance in their day--while, on the other hand, the
stories designed chiefly for amusement, but related to their didactic
contemporaries by similarity of sentiment and manner, are almost
invariably by unknown authors.” Miss Loshe enumerates only thirty-five
novels published before 1801.

not merely to the standard editions and biographies in the case of
important authors, but in the case of these, to some extent, as well as
of lesser authors, to a number of manuals and other compilations; among
them the well-known works on American literature by Bronson, Hart,
Richardson, and Onderdonk, and the anthologies, mentioned in the text,
by Stedman and Page. I desire to express freely my sense of obligation
to these sources.--L. C.

THE CAMBRIDGE HISTORY OF ENGLISH LITERATURE will cover the whole course
of English literature from the origins to the close of the Victorian
age. Each division will be the work of a writer who has been accepted
as an authority on the subject, while the editors will retain the
responsibility for the character of the work as a whole. The list of
contributors includes American as well as English and Continental
scholars.
The work will appeal strongly to readers in general, as well as to
the literary student. Facts that have been duly verified, rather than
surmises and theories, however interesting, form the foundation of
the work. Controversy and partisanship of every kind are scrupulously
avoided. It is believed that the work will furnish a comprehensive,
strictly accurate, impartial, and impersonal study of the development
of the English language and literature.

“Mr. Jusserand’s qualifications for the task which he has undertaken
are of a high order. There are few foreigners, and certainly very few
Frenchmen, who have so intimate a knowledge of English life; he has
already gained great distinction as an original investigator in more
than one period of English literary history; and although his point of
view in the present work is unmistakably that of a Frenchman, he shows
a degree of sympathetic insight which is seldom met with in foreign
critics of literature.”--_London Athenæum._

it behooves beginners in literature to know, and we can recommend it

masterly manner.”--_John Ireland, Archbishop of Minnesota._

=History of German Literature=
=By John G. Robertson=
Professor in the University of Strassburg
Octavo. Net, $3.50
“Dr. Robertson’s book is worthy of genuine praise. It is the result
of most conscientious study and very wide reading; is written without
any personal bias, and in a most sympathetic spirit; avoids all
fancifulness and flippancy, and strives with remarkable success for
completeness of information as to names, dates, synopses of books, and
similar detail.... This manual is a thoroughly trustworthy Baedeker
for the familiar routes in German literature, superseding once for all
the sorry lot of _dilettanteish_ compilations which have served as
guidebooks in this domain during the last generation.”--_The Nation._

“I must express the joy I have had, the enthusiasm I have felt, in
gloating over every page of what I believe is the most brilliant book
of any season since Carlyle’s and Emerson’s pens were laid aside.... It
is full of humor, rich in style, and eccentric in form, all suffused
with the perfervid genius of a man who is not merely a thinker but a
force.”--WM. SLOANE KENNEDY in _Boston Transcript_.
