In these brief limits we can touch but lightly on some phases of so great a subject; and will rest the case mainly on the effect of an exclusively masculine handling of the two fields of history and fiction.
And in the coming years when the reading public will, in the case of the Western nations, be practically the whole functional population, when travel will be more extensive and abundant, and the inter-change of printed matter still cheaper and swifter and above all with the spread of the telephone the process of subtle, bloodless, unpremeditated annexation will conceivably progress much more rapidly even than it does at present.
I have often thought that there ought, on this account, to be far greater freedom and frequency in the inter-change of visits than there is.
