Ho Bepllc* f'ritfc* of “A Terrible
Temptation.”
To Hie Editor of the Daily Globe, Toronto:
bin: Three columuaTtf your Journal have
been tent me headed A Terrible Tempta
tion,” yet mainly devoted to reviving stale
misrepivstintdtions of my older works. The
writer even goes beyond my original de
tractors —most of them now my converts—
f«*r he slanders tho character and sincerity
of the author; audthat in terms so defama
tory. and so evidently malicious, that I
would sue him, or creu indict him, if ho was
worth it. But I know by experience what
would follow; an anonymous slanderer is
always a coward; ho would runaway and
hide iho moment he saw the dog-whip of the
law coming, and I should hate to punish some
a.iguarucu editor, publisher, or printer, less"
criminal than the real culprit, but more of a
man. 1 prefer, therefore, lo deal with the
slanderer as 1 may; only I expect you, who
have published tile poison, to publish the an
tidote.
The anonymous slanderer, in his rific-pit,
hr.* so many unfair advantages over the
mure manly author, that it is impossible to
expose him, without first naming and ticket
ing his habitual blunders and frauds. This
necessity compelled me long ago to invent a
new science. I call it literary zoology.
Of this science certain arms are indispen
sable m this disenssion; unfortunately they
are new to tho Canadian public, so 1 must
explain them.
The Criticaster —first pinned on cork by me
in 1859—a very curious little animal, with
singular traits; tho most distinctive is that
in literary questions, easily soluble by direct
evidence, he flies to cant, conjecture, or “the
depths of his inner consciousness,”. and that
moans “the shallows of his ignor
ance.” .He is a medieval roasoner,
who has lived over into the' nine
teenth century by some miracle, but. no more
belongs bo it than tbo Patagonian docs, with
his* implements of stone. This little crea
ture’s mind and method are the exact op
wjsite of the lawyer’s, the naturalist’s, and
the critic’s.
The Prurient Prude— (first introduced by
mo to the American public in 1604.)
Thia is a lewd hypocrite, who
passes over all that is sweet, aud pure, and
innocent in a book, with genuine disrelish,
and fixes greedily -on whatever a foul mind
can misinterpret or exaggerate into indecen
cy. He makes arbitrary additions to the
author’s meaning, and so ekes ont the indel
cacy to suit his own true taste, which is for
the indelicate; this done, he turns round up
on the author, whom he lias defiled, and Bays,
“You are unclean.” And so the poor author
is. lint why? A lump of human dirt has
been sitting on him, and discoloring him..
The Sham-Sample Sicindlcr is a kind
of vermin that works thus; He finds an ob
jectionable passage or two in a good book, or
a borrowed idea or two in an original book.
Ho quotes these exceptional flawu, and then
adds slily, *'And this w the character of all the
re*t.” Hero a little bit of truth is made the
cover to an enormous lie; but, unfortunate
ly for the public, the bit of truth is compact
and visible, the huge lie is in tho dark. There
is no cure to the sham-sample swindler ex
cept reading the whole book; but the sham
sample deters its reader from reading the
book. Here, therefore, we havo an impreg
nable circle of fraud. The sham-sample
swindle, as applied to giaiu, is seldom tried
bv farmers; their morals are not tho morals
oi scribblers; God forbid they
•Ter should be! It was once
tried in Reading market, when
I was a boy; but the swindler was flogged
out of the market, and never dared show his
face there again while he lived. Not so with
his literary brethren; they are never flogged,
never hang, never nailed on barn doors.
Rarely detected, never effectually exposed,
they pursue, without a blush, or a single
throb of conscience, the easiest, surest, neat
est, and meanest swindle in creatiun.
T'.ie True Anonmnuncule— This little crea
ture must not bo confounded with the
anonymous writers, who supply nar
ratives or current events, aud dis
cuss public measures with freedom,
hut deal largely in generalities, aad
verv little in personalities. Those are the
working bees that gather honey for tho public.
Keude’a auonymuuculo is no great producer,
he can do little but sting. He is of two
jdnils—tho anonymous letter writer, pest of
families; aud the anonymous literary de
tractor, pest of tho fine arts. Both varieties
have tlus essential trait in common, they
abuse tho shelter and the obscurity of the
anonymous. The literary anonymuncule
of ten abuses it doubly; ho belies his supe
rior in one organ of criticism, then flies to
another, aud says the same thing in other
words. Then tho duped public believes that
two disinterested judges nave condemned its
favorite; whereas the poor editors are ouly
a couple of unguarded puppets, pulled by
-me unscrupulous anonymuncle raging with
l iterary envy.
1 muico no apology for tins preface, be
cause it is of general utility; all, wbo study
it with a little care, can apply it to a thou
sand cases—past, present, and to come—in
“which I have no personal interest.
Now to the ephemeral application of
these immortal truths. I am a popular
author hearing an indifferent character for
temper and moderation, where injustice is
done to others, or oven to myself, but a high
character for sincerity and humanity.. As
to my literary fame, it has been acquired
fairly, as my very enemies admit: the Press
has never been favorable to me, nor even
just; the one incorruptible judge of authors
has used its own judgment, and gradually
accorded mo its esteem, I might say its rev
erence. Now comes an anonymuncule, and
undertakes to prove that I am an immoral
writer, an indecent writer, a writer by the
foot and the month, a writer on a false sys
tem. the opposite of Scott’s and Shakespeare s.
and all great masters; and, above all, a social
firebrand, and a public criminal. This latter
phrase the anonymuncule thinks so appro
priate, so docent, and so humane, that.he
repeats it with evident gnsto and solf-satis
faction. Now yon are aware that no man of
honor ever brings snch chargcaagamstn
gentleman of high repute, without some
flight show of decent regret, and that none
hut a low-born villain equivocates, exag
gerates, or tampers in any way with facts
advanced to support a charge of. public
crime. Bear that indisputable position in
mind, while I dissect my anonymuncule.
He opens his libel by saying that I have
•shockedpublic morality; the followmgarc
°T°havn°mmie a brilliant adventuress of
thodemi-mondo the most interesting female
character, if not technically the heroine.
B. I have thrown hor vulgarity into the
her uncleanness into the
background, and praised her by faint blame,
**cjiswcr to B. It is a direct falsehood. How
does this writer know that Khoda Somerset
was vulgar f Ho knows it only from me.
My fearless honesty has put an oath into the
woman’s mouth, and plenty of Billingsgate
beside. Lie X.
C. Behold “the prurient prude,” This
word “nncleauncss, applied to vice, is one
of his sure signs. Illicit connections are
vicious, but they are no more nnclean than
matrimonial connections. To apply a term
which is nasty, without being strictly appro
priate. betrays to a philosophers eye the
prurient prude. Whenever in nowsj
paper yoir see the nord hjth
applied to adultly or other frailty,
the writer is a lewd hypoente,
a prurient prude. Remember that it.
is well worth remembering. Divested of
that false and repulsive expression, what
does this charge come tot T hail have hut
coldly stated the illicit connection oetween
Rhoda Somerset and Sir Charles Basset: I
have gratified this prurient prndo’s real taste
■with no amorous scenes, no pictures of frail
ty in action. This is quite true. I have
given the virtuous loves of Sir Charles and
Bella Bruce in full detail, to gain my reader’s
svmpathv with virtue; and the vicious con
nection I have coldly stated, like a chroni
cler. Mine is an art that preaches by pic
tures. I draw the illicit love with decent
reserve: 1 paint the virtuous love in the
pnrest and sweetest colors I can command.
Who bnt a inirieut prude, with no relish for
mytccneaof nrhtout lore, would distort this
to my discredit t
What writer has ever produced scenes
purer and sweeter than the innocent lovesof
of Rnpcrta and Compton Bassett in this hook 1
Tet how have the prurient prudes, one and
all,’received ihemi With marked distaste;
they call these scenes a bore. I’oor shallow

’A. This is a double falsehood. In the first
place, I have made Lady Bassett by far the
most, interesting character. VVere Rohda
Somerset cut out. the deeper interest would
still remain, and the story ho still rather a
strong story. In the next place, Rhoda
Somerset, is not one character all through
the book, as this anonymuncule infers.
She is first a frail woman—then a
penitent women. Now ls on ly in the lat
ter character I admit her to a second place
of interest. Even Ruperta Bassett is more
interesting than Somerset impenitent. Let
any lover of truth study the hook, and he
will find that no sympathy is conceded to
e Somerset until her penitence commences,
and that the sympathy enlarges as tho wom
an gets belter and better. Yet hero is an
auouymunculo who utterly ignores a wom
an’s penitence in summing np her charac
ter. Is there one precedent for this reason
ing, that has stood the test of time and rea

and contemporary criticasters reviled Mary

attention is fixed, not on that which the
prnriont prudo was itching for, but on the
exquisite expression of tbo maternal face
while nursing—a poetical beauty the sculp
tors, Chantrey and all, have missed, to their
discredit as artists.
F. Ho says Lady Bassett was on tho brink
of adultery. This is auother deliberate false
hood. Mr. Angelo may have been in danger;
but it takes two to commit adultery and it
is clear the woman was never in danger for
a momeoj.
His objections to Pat Yourself in His

falsehood. 1. have plainly disavowed such

nounced them again and again.
Ho intimates X have not read tho blue
books on mines and factories. A mistake.

Hive.
Hu complains that I have net taken into
account tho diseases and short lives of the
Sheffield cutlers. A falsehood. I have gone
more minutely into them than any living
man but Dr. Hall; have pointed out tbo
remedies, and blamed the masters for not
employing their superior intelligence to save
the men. “Yon call your men‘Hands,’”
say I: loam to see they are men.”
The anther of “Pat Yourself in His Place”
is, in a very small way, a public benefactor.
Whoever calls him a public criminal, is a
liar and a scoundrel.
That in “Hard Cosh I painted all asylums
ns abodes of cruelty—is a lie. One of my
asylums is governed by a most humane
person, though crotchety. Tho solitary
asylum in A Terrible Temptation is also
a stronghold of humanity. Even in “Hard
Cash” the only crneA asylum is governed,
not by physician, but a pawnbroker. As
to the abuses pointed ont in Hard Cash,”
they really existed, and exist..
At Han well Asylnm alone, the keepers have
murdered three lunatics, bre&kingfrom eight
to ten ribs and tho breast-hone. The doctor,
in every case, bos told the Coroner that tho
science he professes docs not enable him to say
positively that all these ribs were not broken
by the men slipping down in a room and
I say that, medicine was a science, it would
possess tho statistics of falls; which statis
tics are at present confinedtomy note-books,
and these reveal that, in mere tumbles, men
break tho projecting hones before they break
the ribs: and that during tho last twenty
years only one man has broken so many as
four of his own ribs, and he fell 120 >w/.
I told the public, in the Pall Mall Gazette,
tho precise mode in which lunatics are mur
dered at Hanwell, viz., by the keepers walk
ing np and down tbo victim on their knees,
amdpressing on him with their knees. A
month later, two keepers were indicted for
killing a man in Lancaster Asylum. The
doctors puzzled a bit over bis broken ribs,
aud conjectured that nine ribs were broken
by pressure on tho breast-bone; which is
simply idiotic, as will bo found by experi
ment on a skeleton. A witness went into the
box and swore ho had seen tho man murdered
by repeated blows of the keepers’ knees. For
once, thank God, we nailed those miscreants,
and they got seven years’ penal servitude.
The author of fiord Cash” is a public
benefactor, in a small way. Whoever, after
this, calls him a public criminal, is a liar and
a scoundrel.
Tho last charge is trilling. Hero is an ill
natured egotist accusing mo of good-natured
egotism. The charge, made with modera
tion, might perhaps nave been sustained;
hut his malice and mendacity have overshot
themark, and give mo a right to correct him.
For an author to introduce his own charac
ter into a novel looks like egotism hut it is
not so uncommon as this illiterate person im
agines. Eccentric characters are rare, aud
valuable to tho artist;-hut this eccentric
character was intruded not egotistically but
artistically. It fitted the occasion and forced
itself on me.
“Ob, hut,” says the anonymuncle, “your
sketch is one strain of eulogy on tho person
and mind of Rolfe.” Was ever so impudent
a lie os this 7 It is the exact opposite of
the truth. It should ho remembered that, in
fiction, I am not a.satirist; I am one who
sees the*hright side of a mixed character,
and I dare say Rolfe has benefited a little
by that, along with a score more characters
that I have drawn. But compare Rolfe with
his predecessors in his own line of business
—with Mr. Eden, Dr. Sampson, Dr. Am
boyne. Have I over handled him with the
reverence, the gusto I have shown themt
Have I disguised his foibles f Have I not let
Dr. Suaby got tho better of him in dialogue 7
Who gets the better of Eden or Amboyne 7
But,” says my anonymuncle, “you have
said the best judges adore his works.” This
is an impudent lie. I never said a syllable
of tho kind.
“Personally he is most striking aud inter
esting,” etc. This whole sentence is an im
pudent lie. I have described tho man ns
personally uninteresting and commonplace;
an unwieldy person, a rolling gait, common
place features, a mild brown eye, not bright.
I have tt>ld the truth pro and con, just as I
should of any other person I was inspecting
with an artist’s eye.
But tho best possible answer to this false
hood is to republish the comment of an
American critic that has come to mo: “It is
alleged that in this character Reade has in
tended to represent himself, and a ory of
horror is raised by those who have never
read ‘Copperfield.’ ‘Pendennis,’ or ‘Amelia,’
and never seen Raphael’s portrait of him
self. Wo are inclined to think that Rolfe
and Road© are one, because the novels of the
latter could scarcely be as perfect as they
are without tho patient, unremitting drudg
ery ascribed to the former, and also because
the character is drawn in a pitiless fashion
which Reade never elsewhere employs to
ward his virtuous personages. The plain
exterior of tho man, and his self-conceit, all
his foibles, are kept persistently before the
reader in a stylo which seems to indicate
conscientious self-analysis, and in gratitude
for the picture we fail to blame the artist.”—
[Charleston Courier.
On© of these writers is clearly tampering
with truth. Lot tho book itself decide
which.
Two virulent critiques on my works, in
Canadian papers, end rather suspiciously
with tho same suggestion. This indicates
the same hand, and is an abuse of the anony
mous. See my preliminary remark in rocc
auonymuncale. Tho suggestion of which
tho anonymunculo is so proud is this: that
Mr. Rolfe, previously identified with Mr.
Reade, may perhaps eud his days in a mad
house.
That shall.ho as God pleases. He gave me
whatever good gifts I have, my hatred of in
humanity and injustice, and my loathing of
everything that is dastardly and mean, from
a British anonymunculo up to a Carolina
skunk; and Ho can take these gifts away in
a moment by taking my reason.
I shall bo no nearer that calamity for this
writer’s suggestion, and ho will be no further
off it, since such suggestions sometimes
offend God as well as disgust mou.
But this is certain: Should he ever trans
plant into any business less huso and below
tho law’s lash than anonymous detraction,
tho morals aud practices ho has shown in
slandering mo, ho will, soon or late, find his
way. not to an asylum but to ajai'. Your
obedient servant, Charles Reade.

THE TELEGRAPH,
Proposed New lined Xiine to the East—
Heport on the lake Coble*
From the Milwaukee Sentinel, Nov. 72.
Another meeting of the Chamber of Con
merco committee on the Lake Michigan ca
ble 'was hold yesterday forenoon, at whicb
conversation was had with Mr. Reeves, of
Chicago, in relation to a now laud telegraph
line to hew York. Informality was observ
ed throughout, as no definite proposal was
submitted. The mission of theso gentleman
to Milwaukee was for private conference
with the committee regarding the efforts be
ing put forth here for better communica
tion with Now York. It was announced that
sometime since a joint company was par
tially organized in Now York and Chicago,
tor constructing a line of a new kind of wire
between the two cities- The fire proved dis
astrous to the enterprise, and it is now
thoucht proper to attempt to form a com
pany hero to act with the Eastern men. Pe
culiar advantages are claimed for this wire,
which is ere fully sot forth. The cost, as
htated. would bo from $250,000 to $250,000,
half of which would have ?o be raised here.
The committee did not receive the subject
wijh very much favor, for various reasons.
Some plain talk took place upon the pres
ent relations between this city and Chicago.
Mr. Reeves was made to understand that
Milwaukee wanted and would have a direct
telegraphic line to the East, but it would
not be controlled by Chicagoans. Explana
tions ensued os to the intentions of the
present management, and it transpired that
the route was to bo direct, no repeating be
ing necessary. While the nlan thus far is
somewhat visionary, should a definite prop
osition bo submitted by the gentlemen whom
Mr. Reeves represents, it will be received
and thoroughly considered. However, the
Lake Michigan cable project grows in favor
continually, and will not bo neglected for
.my other scheme.
Much more was said at this meeting which
wo are not at liberty to publish; but the
general idea was that business men else
where appreciated the benefits likely toao
cruo to ttoß city by closer intercourse with
Eastern cities, and no difficulty would bo
experienced in securing aid from companies
already organized and working extensive
Wo have heretofore announced that ifr.
E. D. Read©, constructive engineer, of thi*
city, was preparing a report on (he matter of
the Lake Michigan cable. This is now com
pleted* and will be submitted to tho Cham
ber of Commerce to-day. A drawing of the
cable can ho seen at tue office of the Secre
tary of the Chamber. An estimate prepared
yy Mr, Keade shows that a cable of one or
two wires can be built at a cost yery much

thus moro feasible in a
financial point of view.
