Gallienne, in his remarks published with the list, says "The Bullfinch occasionally breeds in Jersey, but is rarely seen in Guernsey," so far agreeing with Miss Carey's note in the 'Zoologist, but he does not add anything about Sark. There is no specimen in the Museum. COMMON CROSSBILL. Loxia curvirostra, Linnaeus. French, "Bec-croisé," "Bec-croisé commun."
And he has other greater qualities than that.... His latest novel possesses a broad human interest as a really imaginative study of life." RICHARD LE GALLIENNE, in The Star. "This story possesses unusual powers of attraction, and gives unmistakable evidence of genius." She is unique. To one reader at least she remains among the friends of fiction, the beloved of dreams."
After all these centuries it is still contested and still to be explained. Would it not, after all, be better to put aside this source of confusion and quarreling, and to rely upon reason and the common sentiments of humanity? Mr. Le Gallienne admits that in some respects "such a book as Whitman's Leaves of Grass is more helpful than The New Testament for it includes more."
Man can no more get beyond his own knowledge which is and ever must be finite than he can get outside himself, or run away from his own shadow. "The sacred mystery of motherhood," of which Mr. Le Gallienne speaks, is a pretty expression.

Tonson enjoyed the distinction of being the father of the modern publishing business the first man to bring out the works of authors at his own risk and then sell the product to bookstores. I believe it is Mr. Le Gallienne who has been so unkind as to speak of "Barabbas Tonson."
He is convinced that the public, far from sympathizing with such courage, deliberately tries to drive the poet to desperation. Josephine Preston Peabody makes Marlowe inveigh against the public, In the same spirit Richard Le Gallienne, in lines On the Morals of Poets, warns their detractor, Bigot, one folly of the man you flout Is more to God than thy lean life is whole.
Had George Meredith been a Frenchman, what monographs had ere this been called forth by his work; in Germany, or Italy, or Denmark even, such gifts as his would long ago have found their classic place above further discussion. But England is a Gallio, and in defiance of Mr. Le Gallienne, cares little for the things of literature.
But no other member of the club, except Le Gallienne, who wore a loose tie, and Symons, who had an Inverness cape that was quite new & almost fashionable, would have shown himself for the world in any costume but 'that of an English gentleman.
