befalls an author to have such a commentator:                  to become the subject of 

so   much   artistic   skill   and   knowledge;   combined   with   such   infinite   and 

loving pains。 Alike as a piece of Biography; and as a commentary upon the 

beauties of a great writer; the book is a massive book; as the man and the 

writer    were    massive     too。   Sometimes;       when     the  balance    held   by   Mr。 

Forster     has   seemed     for  a  moment      to  turn   a  little  heavily   against    the 

infirmities of temperament of a grand old friend; we have felt something 

of a shock; but we have not once been able to gainsay the justice of the

scales。     This feeling; too; has only fluttered out of the detail; here or there; 

and has vanished before the whole。               We fully agree with Mr。 Forster that 

〃judgment has been passed〃as it should be〃with an equal desire to be 

only just on all the qualities of his temperament which affected necessarily 

not his own life only。         But; now that the story is told; no one will have 

difficulty in striking the balance between its good and ill; and what was 

really  imperishable   in   Landor's genius   will   not be treasured less;  or   less 

understood; for the more perfect knowledge of his character〃。 

     Mr。 Forster's   second   volume gives   a  facsimile of   Landor's   writing   at 

seventy…five。        It   may     be   interesting     to   those    who    are    curious    in 

calligraphy; to know that its resemblance to the recent handwriting of that 

great genius; M。 Victor Hugo; is singularly strong。 

     In   a   military   burial…ground   in   India;   the   name   of   Walter   Landor   is 

associated with the present writer's over the grave of a young officer。                     No 

name could stand there; more inseparably associated in the writer's mind 

with   the   dignity   of   generosity:     with   a   noble   scorn   of   all   littleness;   all 

cruelty; oppression; fraud; and false pretence。
