The   Essay   on   〃The   Historical   Novel〃   in   Prof。   J。   Brander   Matthews' 
〃The Historical Novel and other essays〃 (Scribner's; 1901)。 
     'Originally   appeared       in  The   Forum;   September;       1897。    Represents 
that   School   of   Criticism   which   is   most   adverse   to   Historical   Romance。 
Some of the Professor's remarks convey the impression that he disbelieves 
in ANY reconstruction of the Past; such an attitude is; surely; unfavourable 
to   History    itself;  which    is  always    more    than   any   mere    statement    of 
〃facts。〃'

     NOTE。 
     Some of the American Public Libraries (notably Boston) have issued 
useful Lists of Historical Novels。 
     Two   worksannounced   for   a   considerable   timeI   should   have   been 
glad    to  consult;   these   are  Mr。   P。  L。  Ford's   〃The   American      Historical 
Novel〃      (Macmillan);      and    Mr。    E。   A。   Baker's     〃Guide     to   Fiction〃 
(Sonnensehein)。        The   last…named   volume   will;   I   understand;   contain   a 
section devoted to Historical Romance。
