Such a novel deserves to be called quite as truly romance and prose poem, save that Balzac's vraisemblance, his gift for photographic detail and the contemporaneousness of the setting, make it modern.
We may not agree whether the perfect man and woman ever existed, but we do know that the highest representations of them in form that in the old Greek sculptures were the result of artistic selection of parts of many living figures. When we praise our recent fiction for its photographic fidelity to nature we condemn it, for we deny to it the art which would give it value.
I don't know how many of those men at Vera Cruz tried to describe the kaleidoscopic life of the city during the American occupation, but I know that Davis's story was far and away the most faithful and satisfying picture. The story was photographic, even to the sounds and smells.

He had got hold of a little money; he had conceived a project for making more. When the progress of their eating and drinking cleared the way for confidential disclosures, Morphew began to hint at his scheme. 'You've heard me speak of Denbow? This was a man who had given him lessons in photography; a dealer in photographic apparatus, with a shop in Westminster Bridge Road.
Argentic paper is capable of yielding excellent enlargements, but it must be intelligently exposed, intelligently developed, and cleanly and carefully handled. At a recent meeting of the London and Provincial Photographic Association Mr.
Then the populace to the number of about fifteen the Chinamen refusing to countenance any outfit harbouring such a terrible engine of the devil as a photographic apparatus assembled on the beach to give us God-speed.
