Excerpt from Notes on Novelists: With Some Other Notes
To this absorbing extension of the story then the two volumes of Letters1 now published by Mr. Sidney Colvin beautifully contribute. The Shelf of our li brary that contains our best letter-writers is consider ably furnished, but not overcrowded, and its glory is not too great to keep Stevenson from finding there a place with the very first. He will not figure among the writers - those apt in this line to enjoy precedence - to whom only small things happen and who beguile us by making the most of them; he belongs to the class who have both matter and manner, substance and Spirit, whom life carries swiftly before it and who signal and communicate, not to say gesticulate, as they go. He lived to the topmost pulse, and the last thing that could happen was that he should find him self on any occasion with nothing to report. Of all that he may have uttered on certain occasions we are inevitably not here possessed - a fact that, as I have hinted above, affects us, perversely, as an inexcusable gap in the story; but he never fails of the thing that we most love letters for, the full expression of the mo ment and the mood, the actual good or bad or mid dling, the thing in his head, his heart or his house.
