Dear Miss Grey, I send the Sprouts as promised. Ther were two or three editions published and this is my only copy of one of them. They can always be ha& I think through the second hand booksellers at a slight increase on the original cost. I do not know that any great poet has particularly influenced me unless we are to class Carlyle as one, as I think we should, and Emerson as another. These two were I think the making of me so far as I am made. A later influence of another kind, and here of course we come to a poet,‘ was Whitman, the only man to my thinking with u true sense of the democratic sepira- tions of the race, and the democratic significance of all the world history \ . \W present and past. \\ \\\l Very sincerely yours, ,_ "Ii ‘63 .s ‘2': ,, I ,7 .

D N o M H m n Sept. 2-1, 1892. ,r"" ~ "~‘I‘ ~"\ ens res mm m, H.,+_ MISS ADELINE SERGEANT. -' " lSS SERGE lNl‘ must have been quite as much ‘7 amused as gratified by the result of her latest literary experiment. In publishing “The Story of a l’cnitent Soul“ anonymously, Miss Sergeant has Won for herself a brand—new reputation. But the awkward part of the affair is that the new reputation is won from a diiferent public than the old, and at the time pre- ' sent the two publics are barely on speaking terms ! The old reputation was a very high and (both in the adjective’s material and nobler sense) a very valuable one. It was the reputation of a novelist who has a story of thrilling and some- times melodramatic interest to tell, who tells it in good vigorous English, who permits herself no intervals of dulncss or padding, who chooses her characters from types well approved and quite unambiguous. The public which gave Miss Sergeant this reputation, gave her likewise many hours of its prosperous middle-class leisure, gave her whole shelves reserved for her books at its circulating libraries ; gave her indirectly a handsome proportion of its Mudie guineas. But it could not give her the dearest tribute of all—appreciation of her best work. It noticed once in a while that, asking for “another of Miss Adeline Sergeant’s,” it received something that was not quite up to sample ; something that dealt with the complexities, not of family relationship, but of the human mind; something to be vaguely condemned as “ not exciting.” Either because these lapses were few, or more plausibly, because a literary reputation once fixed cannot be altered, the smaller public which appreciates the best kinds of work did not dispute the possession of Miss Sergeant with the larger public which appreciates good work of its kind. But with the anonymous publication of her last book the position of allairs is altered. The smaller public has eagerly . laid hold of “ The Story of a Penitent Soul,” and now makes good its deferred claim upon the author of “ No Saint ” and “ Esther .Denison.” The question is, which party will conquer ? ln efl‘ect this was the question which I put to Miss Ser- ge int the other day, after congratulating her upon her pro- foundly impressive work. ller answer was an explanation. "' A book such as my last,” she said, “cannot be written at frequent intervals ; it might be five years before I should be able to write another.” Meantime, she implied, novelists must live, and it was needful, considering the exhausting character of their work, that they should do so in moderate comfort. \Vhen Miss Sergeant presently mentioned that the exhaustion of mind ensuing upon the completion of her work has necessitated a sojourn in Egypt of many months, I began to realise that the best work may be too dear when its creator has to pay for it with brain and nerves. Miss Scr- geant told me that nearly all her stories had been written to order, and that she never thoroughly enjoyed commission work, nuuuu I into -... . .i.

Mr Bentley recognised a one popular merits of the tale, and asked Miss Sergeant to furnish him with a second in a similar style. She then wrote “Beyond Recall.” Miss Sergeant naturally continued for a time to pursue the lines on which her success had been made, and wrote, at short intervals, “An Open Foe,” “ Deveril’s Diamond," and " Under False Pretences.” of “No Saint,” in 1885, Miss Sergeant never returned quite to her earliest and most sensational method. She began to write much more to please her own high literary taste. Miss Sergeant would under no circumstances cut adrift altogether from plot. She does not admire novels which give us mere strips of human life with raw edges. A story must, to satisfy her, have a proper rise, development, culmination, and conclusion. In her best works, therefore, we find, and shall expect to find, the lives of persons interwoven in a more symmetrical pattern than they are in this haphazardly organised world of ours. The point may not be argued here, for at a step further we should find ourselves struggling out of our depth in the terrible quicksands of the Art and Nature controversy. It will be better, then, that I return to solid facts, and say a few words about Miss Sergeant’s life. To any sympathetic reader of “' Esther Denison ” and “ No Saint” it is manifest that Miss Sergeant writes of N onconformist life with intimate knowledge. Her father was, indeed, a Wesleyan minister, and it was Miss Sergeant’s fate to flit from one house to another every three years in the manner which she has described. This custom probably interfered a. good deal with her regular education as a child; but it gave her leisure for reading, of which she amply availed herself. Both her parents possessed considerable literary gifts, and at the age of eight Miss Adeline Sergeant had already written some little poems and concocted all sorts of stories. A few years later she began to keep a diary, which she tells me would have rivalled Marie Bashkirtsell’s for the extraordinary senti- ments, hopes, and fears which she confided to its pages. In spite of a childhood interrupted by constant removals, a feeling of family tradition always made Miss Sergeant look upon Lincolnshire as her home. Her family—to make up, perhaps, for the migratory habits of their descendants—had lived in the county for generations past, and there is a quiet Lincolnshire churchyard where the graves of the Sergeant family may be seen dating back to the sixteenth century. At the age of sixteen schooling began regularly. Miss Sergeant became a pupil of Miss l’ipe’s, at Clapham Park, and two years’ later, on winning a scholar- ship, went to Queen's College, Harley-street. Then within a short space of time both parents died, and Miss Sergeant took for a good many years to teaching. Then, in 1881, Miss Sergeant made her first successful venture into literature; and from that date, although she continued for a time to give lessons, literature became more and more evidently her true profession. Since 1887 Miss Sergeant has made her perma- nent home in London, where she now inhabits a pleasant flat in Chenies-street Chambers; blltifihfi is”.extrernellxyorciiond1 of ' \‘VU 'IVE‘UI‘W "u' ’ V . . _ Ill)", tvhrt: amongEt whom the novellSt Passgflhhei tillgigpreachcd , . . - - 7f the eternal Punk mcn Calvmisuc doctrlu?

When the type had been set up, it revealed itself to be too long for one \olume and not quite long (nough for two; but, by the time the discovery was made, the novelist was safely away in Egypt, so the book had to be produced without sacrificing artistic unity to ink and paper. It was chance which first led Miss Sergeant to write a “novel of incident,” as it is technically called. Mr Bentley altered a prize of £100 in 1881 for the best story which should be sent in. Miss Sergeant, stimulated by the example of a literary friend who was competing, wrote a tale of a highly spiced character entitled “szcbi's \Vife,” and won the 1.100 therewith. Mr Bentley recognised etionco the travelling, and has spent three winters in Egypt, besides making many continental pcregrinations. I must say a word or two more about Miss Sergeant’s finest literary achievements, because they can only be understood when we realise the tenets which were held by nearly all those amongst whom the novelist passed her childhood. The Calvinistic doctrine of the eternal punishment of sin preached in the ears of an imaginative child may never be forgotten. It robs the child of its innocent gladness; the world of its beauty. Upon our literature the influences of that doctrine have been reflected in darkest thadows. “"hat is more remarkable is that a belief which a writer may have long since abandoned as a part of a religious creed gains a new authority by being set before us in the guise of a scientific truth. “The Story of a l’enitcnt Soul” owes its tragic intensity to the fact that an awful retribution to begin after death is exchanged for an immediate punishment to the sinner during his life, nor during his life only, but throughout the life of his descendants. “ Disease is curable,” says the scientific man in the book, “you can’t get rid of inheritance. ‘rou might as well try ,_,rv,r ,inir 7W ’7/ %// PWZf/éfm w ‘5 M V 273% - $15 525% $32?
