    Rjlhe Literary Moralist Has Been More Th...

    there are , it is true , but their defects are more commonly intellectual and imaginative than

    moral . It is a question capable of easy settlement . Let any one who desires proof on the

    point take the works of a dozen of our leading n ovelists , analyse them , and say what there is

    In them to pervert and demoralise . We believe it would be found that the best novelists of

    the day are really finical and fastidious on the score of morality . Thackeray complained that

    the author of ' Tom Jones' was the last who ventured to depict a man . Since Thackeray ' s

    time the natura l man has been kept more and wv more in the background . The noble fellow

    with his huge appetite for evil is not among the clientele of living novelists of note . Nor

    is he popular with those who have charge of the mechanical production and distribution of

    books . A pleasing proof of this comes from distant Victoria , Australia . The booksellers

    of Melbourne have recently formed an association the object of which is to further their

    own interests , and they imagine that these can be best served by distributing pure literature .

    We think it a healthy sign of the times ; in a young colony it is particularly gratifying , and it

    is an emphatic answer to the professional pessimists . We congratulate the booksellers of

    Melbourne on the loftiness of their business aspirations , and wish their new association all

    success . K »
