Lord Cornwal- lis is again a. losing leader‘ and is made the,dupe of the hero-spy, for trickery on the winning side is pan], unable. Few. books are more plainly anti-British in sympathy than this, and frW _are less particular as to the terms applied to the British cause and its‘ upholders. “Aliee' of Old Vincennes,"v by Maurire Thompson. is a. fourth ex- ample of American history-twisting in the £5ch of a. racy novel. In” a‘ _hoo‘< pi Thompson'l it may he '08- Very similar in motive is "The Master of Appleby," by Francis ~Lynde, another of last year’s books, whose scenes are laid in Carolina during revolutionary times. In this the British are again described as unfeeling tyrants, resorting to meth- ods altogether fiendish. They em- ploy Indian scouts and scalpers, and subjeCt their captives, even helple women, to brutal tortures. Col. 'I‘arleton and Sir Francis Falconnet, the two most prominent English of. This same 1)’ri. the real hero of the story, maintains an attitude oi intense spitefulucss against every- thing British; in the fight on Per- ry’s brig, “Lawrence," he is animat- cd by an “Old Glory" fever in which he is so recklessly brave‘that the reader, it is taken for granted, must applaud and admire. Throughout the story is built upon the unpopu- lar character of the British position and action, and the contrasting jus- tice of the American campaign. A later production, “Hearts Cour- ageous,” by H. E. Rives, goes back to the declaration of independence, when Patrick Henry incited the bur- gesses of Virginia to rebellion. Here again the British are made to apâ€" pear as unscrupulous mffians, devoid of honor either as men or as sol- diers. One of them, Captain Jar- ratt, beats an old colored woman to within an inch of her death because she will not give up a paper; anoth- er traduces the character of George Washington, and fights 'the inevitable duel for it. Lord Cornwallis plays a sorry part. Patrick Henry, in con- trast, has the heroic role of starting the revolution, tirelessly scouring the country, inflaming the populace, opposing the bloody threats of the sinister Governor,” and calling for deliverance from the bondage and oppression of the British. Another such a Jefierson, his revolutionary colleague. A French Marquis is in» troduced, who intrigues against the‘ British, fails into their barabrous hands, escapes, and becomes a hero of the noblest order. The colonial maiden, whose love afi'air runs through the story is ardently Amer- ican, and for her lovc’s sake suflers British indignities. 'A revolutionary story is this, well filled with subtie eagleism. . “ ’Seems so we come ashore 'bout hero,” said be, dropping the middle finger of his right. hand in the vicin- ity of Quebec. “Then we traveled uwâ€"a-a-ay hellwards over '11 this ’ere direction.’ With that illuminating remark he had slid his finger over some two hundred leagues of country from Quebec to Michigan." D'ri afterward explained the adven- ture, referring to the Canadian coun- try in these terms:â€" "Listening. WU heard the faint. familiar strains of ‘Yankee Doodle,’ We awe ashore in silence, and I hugged the nearest, tree, and was not able to say the ‘Thank God,’ that fell from my lips only half spoâ€" ken." Of recent novels one of the most. open ofienders in this respect is “D’ri and I._" by Irving Bacheller. Its scenes are laid during the war of 1812, immediately preCeJing and following the naval engagements on La‘:e Ontario. The heroes in the story are very brave and just, and very ardent patriots; the enemyâ€"Mm Britishâ€"a e cowards, cruel tyrants. and inhuman. They are made the butt of ingenious’trickery, a. handful of Yankee recruits disposing of them once with a hose of water and again by rel using a few nests of hornets upon them. Where they do not fig- ure on the losing side, the British are unfueling tyrants. Canadian soil is made the scene of a midnight tor- ture, whose intent was to kill the two heross, then prisoners of War. Fscagiing. from the British clutch, they reached the southern shore not far from their own camp. The most insidious form of this alien literature is the historical M v- el. , The history of the United States has been marked by a series or more or less stirring events Wthh have made good copy for the writ- ers of war stories. From this ma- terial scores of novels, some good. some only passable, and many med- iocre, haw been written during the past thirty or fort}; y,ears and they are still coming. hese novels deal wi h exents in which the thirteen colonies, and later the United States, were the party of the one part and Great Britain of the other. But when a novel of this kind, Amnieam in theme and point of view, circulates in Canada its fitness ceases and it becomes a source of danger. In its own country it is a natural product, and be it ever so rabidly anti-Brit- ish it can be pardoned; but when it comes into British territory its aliâ€" enism chafes or would chafe it we had not grown to expect and even to welcome that sort of thing. About phuixe the Potent Fact. The unveiling of a. monument to Governor Simcoe. like the Talbot an- niversary celebration, carries us back a century. and gives us a. feeling that this Province has a. history. Simcoe was the first Governor of Upper Canada alter the Province was divmd into a. French and Big- lish section. He was a member of the .Parliament which passed. the Constitutional Act of 1791, and heard the debate between Pitt and Fox. Fox acclaimed against the bill, as an attempt to introdwe into the New World those aristocratic noâ€" tions which were declining in the old. He asked it those red and blue tib- bonswhichhedlosttheirlustrein the 01d World were to shine torth in thenew.

'l‘heV greatest danger is of course with young readers, to whom a hero is always in the right. and whose attitude is unreservedly one of sym- pathy with that hero. To such readers these novels serve as history lessons, more appmiated and longer remembered than any book of more historical facts or chrOnicles. They may be admirable reading matter for American youths, who are thereby moved to greater faith and pride in their country; but the same effect is left upon the Canadian youth, with this difference; that an increased ap- prOVal of American history means a les<ening of pride in Canadian or British history. The past history of Canada is fill- ed with incidents that should furnish abundant literary material. There are novel plots as good as the best American waiting for the Canadian novelist, who, with a native faith in his country, shall write the histori- cal tales we all are looking for. They will have the added advantage of not being worn out. But till such writâ€" ers and such novels of our own pro- duction shall appear must we con- tinue to import and imbibe the pro- ductions of alien writers and pub- lishers, in which there lurk seeds of certain evil? What American school hooks used to do in this dcnationalâ€" izlng respect. the popular historical novels are now doing in more tempt- ing but more insidious form. It is time that Canadian self-pride were more apparent. Written in glorification of the Amen- icnn past, end‘ read with apparently as much interest in Canals. as in the United States. These tour, which are but instances of the late“. publi- cntions‘ have sold wideLv in this country, and have been very (avocâ€" ably received as timely additions to the literature of the continent. Peo- ple are still reading them, admiring the heroes and the héroincs, sympa- thizing with their hardships, and r1.- joicing in their deliveranoes. The verisimilltude of a. sweaslul novel demands the reader's sympathy with the hero and with his point of View, and so when one reads these Ameri- can tales he becomes necessarily an- ti-British in his feelings. The eflect of this is not always transient; it leaves its impress, and one's patrio- tic sentiments sufler, sometimes lit- tle, sometimes mnch. poor soldiery, on one side. out!
