      Ttnless There Is A Self-Suppression Whic...

      TTNLESS there is a self-suppression which ^ is sadly unusual in word warfare , the

      socalled ' literary duel' between Mr . Gosse and his reviewer may soon become a tolerably

      extensive skirmish . Already Mr . Swinburne is in the field and armoured for the fray . His

      war-note is clear and sharp—too sharp —' some may say ; but it must be remembered that he

      did not seek the fight . Different opinions must exist as to whether the reviewer acted

      rightly in bringing Mr . Swinburne's name so prominently and so curiously into this

      unhappy controversy . Irritated , perhaps , by his thoughts on this subject , Mr . Swinburne has

      enlarged the object of his assault . An attack on the Quarterly Review since its earliest days

      is the result . It will be interesting to watch the fate of this provocation : it is very

      unlikely that it will pass unnoticed by others besides the reviewer who now expostulates

      and explains . In the meantime , the reviewer has

      responded to Mr . Swinburne's rebuke , and we can only wait for the result . It seems

      unfortunate , amidst so much cavilling over small matters , that errors should continue to occur in

      small matters . The reviewer , naturally , finds it difficult to understand ' what connection there

      may be between the staff of the Quarterly in 1816 and the staff of the Quarterly in October

      1885 . ' It is hardly worth referring to , but we like presume liKe omission omission October of 1880 coudIo is meant of . f The telegram 7 -

      ol a a couple of ' the tli ^'' s a in in the fh *» signature to the latest reply also is likely to provoke remonstrance , if people are to judge

      by the standard of the present controversy .
