Humbert Wolfe notes that the habit of writing long, leisurely stories on themes connected with American history is growing. This cannot be wholly attributed, he thinks, to the stunning successes that have attended two oi three experiments in this kind.

Indeed it was time adds Mr Wolfe, that our books should give us if not refuge, at least repose.
