      Ithin The Lastiew Days Two Lady Writers ...

      ITHIN the lastiew days two lady writers Wvery familiar to English readers have

      passed to the majority . Although they were utterly dissimilar in their rnodes of thought ,

      ! Lady Brassey ajid Mrs . Craik represented characteristic classes of English feminine

      bri genius ght . viva One city was ; the adventurous other c ^ uiet , full and of retiring life and ,

      fond of sylvan rusticity and the simple scenes of homely circles . Among the latter writer ' s

      creations a great character towers head and shoulders above the heroes of contemporary ^¦ a ^ T

      fiction ' John . Halifax ' Adam , ' and Bede 'John ' is the Halifa onl x y rival will for of

      many years remain a favourite in English homes . Affection , too , will linger long with

      the memory of the great writer of the story . Lady Brassey ' s works are , of course , more

      practical and robust . They contain little that is original ; but are sparkling descriptions of

      something more than holiday experiences in foreign climes . We cannot remember the name

      of any writer of holiday travels who sprang more rapidly into fame . And that this fame

      was deserved is fully proved by the continued popularity of Lady Brassey ' s books . It was

      understood that the voyage which Lord and I Lady Brassey recentl y undertook mig **** ht form

      the subject of a new work destined to please her ladyship's numerous readers ; and

      doubtless the notes of the earlier portion of the journey which has been saddened by a

      calamity so sudden and sorrowful will in time appear .

      The death of these authors has silenced ¦ two distinguished workers in the fields of

      literature , adventure , and philanthropy . Opposite in nature and aims , their work ap

      JkA A r pealed to special classes—the old school and the new—and it would be difficult to point to

      more distinctive examples of lady writers who flironted or encourasred ~ - ~ rmblic taate . jfVWV ¦ i ¦ ¦ »¦ »» ~ - —» ~
