Hamerton's life that he read but little; nothing could be more opposed to truth; the fact is, that he was constantly attempting to bind himself by rules to give only a certain proportion of his time to reading, and when he travelled he was sure to have among his luggage a large trunk of books. Here is a list, for instance, of the works he took with him on the Saone: Royau, "A travers les Mots."
Hamerton's, another had been reserved for Captain Kornprobst, who was to undertake the duties of the commissariat.
But he had had more than enough of such schemes after his attempt at Edinburgh, and it was the only one he was ever induced to make. He began at once the pen-drawings which were to illustrate the articles on Autun, and he liked his work exceedingly. "Paris." Miss Susan Hamerton's Death. Burnley revisited. Hellifield Peel. "Landscape" planned. Voyage to Marseilles.
She coloured up, dipped her pen, and looked at her unfinished letter. He wandered off a step or two, and returned. "Do you know this thing of Hamerton's?" he inquired, in a casual way, extending the volume he held. She took it, laying down her pen. A considerable literary discussion ensued, during which he fetched more books from the shelves to show her.
Hamerton's contributions to the "Portfolio," and to give his portrait as a frontispiece. He wrote about it: "My traveller says he is continually asked for your portrait. If Jeens were living I would ask him to engrave it, but as we have no one approaching him in skill, perhaps the safest plan would be a photogravure from a negative taken on purpose." My husband suggested that perhaps Mr.
Bodley, an English gentleman who was studying French institutions and politics most seriously, and who was acquainted with Mr. Hamerton's works, came in August to see him. This visit was the beginning of a lasting acquaintance, which was appreciated and valued by both parties. When we settled in the Parc des Princes, and when, after his marriage, Mr.
Hamerton's house, as he gives us clearly to understand, though he suppresses names, was in the neighborhood of Autun. The situation was a strictly rural one, but with easy access to the town and the feasibility of reaching Paris, Lyons or Geneva in a night's journey by rail. It had, he writes, "one very valuable characteristic in great perfection namely, variety.
From Autun to Lyons is a journey that calls for little comment, unless made, as wise Arthur Young made it a hundred years ago, on horseback; or unless we take the steamer at Chalon, and enjoy the scenery of the Saone, Mr. Hamerton's favourite river.
Hamilton's Robert Louis Stevenson. Balfour's The Life of Robert Louis Stevenson, 2 vols. The Letters of Robert Louis Stevenson, edited by Sidney Colvin. Raleigh's Robert Louis Stevenson. Hamerton's Stevensoniana. Japp's Robert Louis Stevenson. Hamerton's George Meredith: His Life and Art in Anecdote and Criticism. Letters of George Meredith, 2 vols. Sturge Henderson's George Meredith.
Hamerton's indignation; the more so as he never for one moment believed the discourteous and outrageous letter to be genuine. I transcribe his explanation of the incident as given by himself to his son-in-law: "Novembre 17, 1890. "MON CHER FILS, Il m'est arrive de pouvoir, je crois, etre utile au maintien des bonnes relations entre les marines anglaises et francaises.
