The list of Atlantic story-writers is a long one, and includes some names which will long remain on the most familiar shelves. A little story which appeared in its second year, running over with delightful absurdity, purport- ing to be written by the Rev. F. Ingham, and called " My Double, and how he undid me," excited much curiosity as to its author, who however re- mained generally unknown, perhaps even till the appearance some years later of " The Man without a Country,"-a sketch so vivid in its character- ization, so vigorous in style, and so exactly timed to its opportunity (in the most anxious year of the Rebellion), that the incognito was not long pre- served. Mr. Hale remained a frequent contributor to the Atlantic until the establishment of a magazine of his own, Old and New, in 1869.
Of the Atlantic writers, there are three who may be said to have repre- sented in its pages not unfairly the modern school of American fiction. Of Mr. Howells and Mr. Aldrich, the first contributions to this magazine appeared in the same volume in 1860. Mr. James began some five years later. All have been constant contributors ever since of stories more or less elaborate, which have sufficient likeness to distinguish them as a group from all the earlier writers of fiction, while they have certain differences which
1 [There is a good likeness and a sketch of Mr. Hale's career in the Harvard Register, May, 1881 .- ED.]

THE PRESS, ETC., OF THE LAST HUNDRED YEARS.
distinguish them clearly enough one from another. If Mr. Howells has more vigor of style and more incident, Mr. Aldrich has more sentiment and a more delicate touch; while Mr. James differs from both in a certain criti- cal attitude which he maintains toward his characters, - an attitude which savors sometimes of contemptuousness or at least of a cold superiority, which is but a poor substitute for the loving sympathy which the great story-tellers have felt for the children of their imagination. More than either of the other two, more perhaps than any predecessor in the same field, his stories abound in minute details of character and manners, - of manners even more than character. But this is a peculiarity which Mr. James shares with most of the writers of fiction of our time and country, and which makes the chief element in the contrast between the modern American novel and the robust and healthy novels of English life with which Thackeray, Trollope, Reade, and Hardy, to say nothing of lesser names, have entertained the world.
The Atlantic has been even richer in essays than in fiction. The essays of Mr. Lowell, now on some absorbing issue of the war, or the politics of war time, now on some placid topic of curious literary study ; the essays of Mr. Norton on Italian poetry or archaeology; of Mr. Whipple 1 on the Elizabethan poets and philosophers ; of Mr. Henry James on speculative philosophy and sociology; of Mr. C. C. Hazewell on contemporary foreign politics; of Mr. Parton on the pictur- Little . esque passages of American history, biography, and manners; the admirable papers of Colonel Higginson on all sorts of familiar subjects connected with the war, and with the politics, dress, diet, manners, and social life of the day; the charming papers in which Thorcau, John Burroughs, and Wilson Flagg have set down their loving observations of the trees, birds, flowers, and the thousand aspects of the New England country, - these are but an example of the variety of interest which has gathered around the pages of this magazine during the first quarter of a century. The Atlantic is a favorable example, too, of the modern manner in periodical literature, which has now quite superseded the more deliberate and ponderous manner of a generation ago. The quar- terlies have lost their hold on the readers of to-day, and will doubtless soon disappear. The North American Review, so long the type and expression of the literary character and tastes of Boston, has passed2 from the city which fostered it for sixty years, and retains little of its original and distinctive character. The Christian Examiner, which maintained its place alongside the North American for nearly fifty years, has ceased to exist, and has left no successor. The movement of mind has shared in the larger and more

THE MEMORIAL HISTORY OF BOSTON.
intense activity of the present age, and brevity, vivacity, and concentration are now the first requisites in a periodical literature as in the affairs of pub- lic and private business.
Whether the ever increasing interests of business and social life in Amer- ica, - of business life in particular; the amazing increase of wealth and private luxury, and the appetite which grows by what it feeds on; the dis- appearance everywhere of the simplicity which marked the life of the earlier half of the century, - are to conduce to the development in the future of a literature at once brilliant and ennobling, is a question not easy to answer. The connection between the conditions of popular life and the highest literary activity, in those countries of Europe which have produced the greatest examples of national literature, has always been obscure. That there is a connection is, however, undoubtedly true. The distinctive traits of the New England character are fast passing away from the New England people, swallowed up in the swelling tide of American national life. It is not unreasonable to expect that the traits which have distinguished the New England literature of the past century will be wanting in the literature of the next. "The past at least is secure." 1
