...authorship of the very clever novel, "Guerndale," which appeared last fall, has become an open secret at last, and although no authoritative announcement has been made concerning it, there is no longer any doubt that its author, who masqueraded under the nom de plume of "J. S. of Dale," is Mr. Frederick J. Stimson, a graduate of Harvard in the class of 1876 and now a practising lawyer in this city.

...principles of "the three unities" in composition. The introduction of this principle into England and its only temporary prevalence there, was discussed at some length, with citations from Dr. Johnson, who seems to have given the final blow to its influence. Mr. Perry remarked upon the close connection of authorship with politics at the beginning of the seventeenth century, and its bad effects on literary production. Fulsome dedications and political services in the way of adulation and satiric composition were the chief claims to patronage and the means of gaining a livelihood. With Sir Robert Walpole the Augustan...
