"His fine poem, 'Convict Once, filling an octavo volume, is far and away the most sustained effort the colonies well conceived, unflagging in interest, and perfect in exhave yet seen. It is written in hexameters. Scholarly, ecution, it has not, however, caught the popular ear; as was perhaps to be expected. . . The poem is full of life and colour, and that vivid presentment which marks the possession of no ordinary share of the divine afflatus, and alone suffices to carry the reader through a work of such length."-Contemporary Rev., lii. 412.

He gave up that profession, studied law, and was called to the Scottish bar, but never practised, and, his health having failed, he devoted himself to literature and to travelling.

An Inland Voyage, Lon., 1878, cr. 8vo. "The Inland Voyage' seems to be a compound of the styles of Sir Philip Sidney and Bacon, George Herbert, Sterne, and Mr. Blackmore's rural characters of the last century. ... Looking at English composition from his very peculiar point of view, nothing can be more creditable than the extreme trouble he takes to go out of his way to pick circumlocutory phrases when there are short and simple words that would apparently answer his purthing; and not unfrequently we come on a novel idea among a crowd of platitudes rather prettily expressed.. Now and then, when he appears to forget himself, he has flashes of unaffected liveliness; he dashes off telling little sketches of character, and has graceful touches of vivid landscape-painting."-Sat. Rev., xlv. 701. pose. We admit that he often amuses us with a clever "Two friends start in two canoes, the 'Cigarette' and the Arethusa,' for a voyage on some Belgian and French rivers. The narrative will delight any reader who can half-humorous, half-pathetic moralizings which give a enter sufficiently into the author's mood to enjoy the charm to these pages. . . . Mr. Stevenson does not look at his own eyes, instead of through the spectacles of books, nature with the eye of a poet, but he does see nature with and he can describe in felicitous language what he sees and what he feels."-Spectator, li. 926. ... "It contains passages of feeling, humour, insight, description, expressed with fluency and finish in the best manner of English prose. . . . Paradoxical, . yet from time to time striking out a flash both new and true.-humorously or cordially rebellious, but never sour or pu of fancies the most chivalrous or tender, this br -material, even animal, in his philosophy, but anon and entertaining writer may at one moment show hi too raw in youth, and at another his words may seem to carry in them an echo of Heine, or at another of Sterne; but we shall acknowledge that he has both gifts and promise, and one inestimable gift in especial,-charm."-Ath., No. 2640. "I wonder how many people there are in England who know that Robert Louis Stevenson is, in his own way, (and he is wise enough to write simply in his own way,) one of the most perfect writers living, one of the very few who may yet do something that will become classical?"-P. G. HAMERTON: Acad., xiii. 547. 2. Edinburgh: Picturesque Notes: with Etchings by A. Brunet-Debaines, Vignettes, &c., Lon., 1878, fol.; new ed., 1888, p. 8vo. 64 Mr. Stevenson can see Edinburgh as she is; he seems to have suffered from the adorers of Burns, and even appears to take a mischievous pleasure in telling his countrymen the result of a dispassionate inspection of their capital. . . . Our quotations make it needless to say anything about his style. It speaks for itself; it is captivating and irritating; it keeps the attention awake; it sketches a picture; in two words, it is never commonplace; it retains an accent of the quaintness of a time of leisure."-Sat. Rev., xlvii. 120. 3. Travels with a Donkey in the Cevennes, Lon., 1879, p. 8vo; 3d ed., 1883. "It would be doing Mr. Stevenson a great injustice to pretend that he sets the bare facts of this journey before us as of any value.... The merit of his tale is in the telling, and we must read the book slowly, for it is on account of its style that it merits our attention..... His writing is as elegant as ever, but it is more natural, and the phrases of humour and the parentheses of fine reflection no longer seem put in with any art; they have grown with the growth of the narrative. There is the same strong sympathy with humanity, the same power to read the red-leaved and confused book of the heart,' the same happy flight of quaint and original fun; but there is less egotism, and the view of natural life is sweeter and healthier. It is remarkable that on so slight a thread so many jewels of thought and fancy can be hung; for the thread, we must confess, is exceedingly slight."-Sat. Rev., xlvii. 776. 4. Virginibus Puerisque, and other Papers, Lon., 1881, p. 8vo. "There is no paper in this little collection but is sure of its readers, none that can fail to give a novel and exciting pleasure when the right man or woman opens the book in the right mood and the right hour."-Sat. Rev., li. 528. "Regarding . . . these essays as elaborate studies in the literary art, one cannot be deaf to the praises which his refined and flexible style has so fully deserved, and which may here be endorsed without repetition. The many instances of strained metaphor, forced illustration, and obscure extravagance which we might quote are due not to defects of style, but to barrenness of matter.”— Acad.. xx. 21. 5. Familiar Studies of Men and Books, Lon., 1882, p. Svo. Mr. Stevenson is not seen at his best in this volume. Of course his studies' are elegantly written and pleasant to read; but criticism is hardly his forte. The turn of his mind is distinctly subjective; and he is certainly happier when he is telling his readers how the immediate objects of sense affect him than when he is trying to estimate other people who have in their own way done the.same." -Ath., No. 2840. "All the essays will repay careful perusal, because, apart from fresh facts or novel suggestions, they often act upon us aggressively, exciting to independent thought."-Sat. Rev., liii. 508. 6. New Arabian Nights, Lon., 1882, 2 vols. p. 8vo. "There is little but pleasure to be got out of the 'New Arabian Nights,' with their striking fertility of invention, their charming touch of a chivalry which is by no means too common either in real life or in fiction, and that other quality of the author's, also by no means too common, of making his readers sup full of horrors and yet putting no offence in it."-Sat. Rev., liv. 250. As a collection of grotesque romances, the New Arabian Nights' are perfect in form and finish; and such an aim is not only legitimate in itself, but constitutes a fresh departure in romance-writing."-Spectator, lv. 1450. 7. Treasure Island, Lon., 1883, p. 8vo; 2d ed., 1884. "It is a book for boys which will be delightful to all grown men who have the sentiment of treasure-hunting and are touched with the true spirit of the Spanish Main. It is written in that crisp, choice, nervous English of which he has the secret-with such a union of measure and force as to be in its way a masterpiece of narrative."Sat. Rev., lvi. 737. 8.

"Never before has the inner life of childhood been so apprehended or portrayed by an English writer."-Ath., No. 3001. "Some of its lyrics would undoubtedly delight any child old enough to delight in such things at all; while others, again, will undoubtedly be read with pleasure by its elders. What we look for, however, in a book of this sort, though perhaps it is putting our requirements too high, is the combination of the same kind of attraction in the same pieces. . . . This point, however, is rarely attained in Mr. Stevenson's verse."-Sat. Rev., lix. 394. 10. Prince Otto: a Romance, Lon., 1885, p. 8vo. "The ordinary material of the novel he throws aside; in half a dozen sentences he gives the results of a whole volume of realism: he goes straight to the quick of things, and concerns himself with none but essentials. . . . The author's theme is the morals of marriage. . . 'Prince Otto' is a protest against the existence of most of that which is unworthy in the theory and practice of modern literature."-Ath., No. 3030. 11. Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Lon., 1886, p. 8vo. "Mr. Stevenson's idea. his secret, (but a very open secret.) is that of the double personality in every man. While one is thrilled and possessed by the horror of the central fancy, one may fail, at first reading, to recognize the delicate and restrained skill of the treatment of accessories, details, and character."-Sat. Rev., 1xi. 55. "In form it is but a simple tale of magical transformations, yet few sermons could pronounce more awful warning against a sinful life."-Nation, xlii. 196. 12. Kidnapped: being Memoirs of the Adventures of David Balfour in the Year 1751: how he was Kidnapped and Cast Away; his Sufferings in a Desert Island; his Journey in the Wild Highlands; his Acquaintance with Alan Breck Stewart and other Notorious Highland Jacobites; with All that he suffered at the Hands of his Uncle, Ebenezer Balfour of Shaws, falsely so called: written by Himself, and now set forth, Lon., 1886, p. 8vo.

The scenes are flashed not "In the Highland portions the imagination is of an exof the reader. And even in the earlier chapters, where only upon the mental vision but upon the actual senses there is but little imagination in this narrow sense, we come upon single touches where there is imagination, but then it leaps up in a short, sudden, dazzling flame, as when the cry forced from the murderous uncle by superstitious terror is likened in sound to a sheep's bleat."-Ath., No. 3068. "Kidnapped' is as fresh and strong, as thorough in workmanship and well sustained in interest, as anything which he has yet given to the world, Treasure Island' itself not excepted."-Sat.

"There is in these poems little or nothing either of that originality or of that satisfying beauty which conjointly characterize Mr. Stevenson's best prose."-WILLIAM SHARP: Acad., xxxii. 213.

On the other hand, his happiest phrases come short of full inspiration."-Ath., No. 3124. 15. Memories and Portraits, Lon., 1887, 12mo.

"If Ivanhoe' be the most brilliant tale for boys which genius ever penned, 'The Black Arrow' certainly deserves to be mentioned next to it as one which, without even suggesting an imitator, displays a master-hand in the same field."-Spectator, lxi. 1099. 17. The Master of Ballantrae, Lon., 1889, p. 8vo. With STEVENSON, FANNY VAN DE GRIFT, The Dynamiter: more New Arabian Nights, Lon, 1885, p. 8vo. "Those to whom the 'Suicide Club' and the Pavilion on the Links' are already classics will find the Dynamiter' equally charming, Again Mr. Stevenson shows his unique power of vivid and penetrative language, his absolute command of the right word. Never was a work of an inexact and even painful description' written in such dainty and lucid English, or with so light a play of wit."— Acad., xxvii. 358. And see JENKIN, FLEEMING, supra.
