2655 A very fine literary Autograph Letter from Samoa, to Mrs. Humphry Ward.

3 pp., 8vo. Vailima, 17th August, 1894. With addressed envelope. £28 A letter of remarkable literary interest, thanking Mrs. Humphry Ward for a presentation copy of her Marcella" which he praises; he then indulges in a dissertation on himself as a novel writer and the morality of writing on problems of the future. “I have to thank you very much for the kind attention you have paid me, not only in sending me your book but in writing a dedication with your own hand.

66

'I need not say I have read Marcella' with pleasure, but upon one point it is necessary I should express my admiration. I mean-I am afraid to seem so stupid-the normal. You have infinitely more courage than I and (I should think) more morals. I have devised and even attempted modern novels before now: and always got aground in the same shoal. The business plunges you immediately into the problems of the future, and I cannot touch upon these without becoming-what is the word? un settling, let us say if we wish to be polite--immoral, I may be allowed to admit in private. Morals are a traditional thing; we can only be moral on what we thoroughly understand: we can only know our ancestral minds in what is not only liquid, but solid. And indeed I very much admired the art-or is it the virtue? by which you seem to have touched on all these burning matters with equal justice and discretion. I not only admired, I envied it: but it was an impotent envy." Etc.
