For many readers, indeed, the most enjoy- able portion of Mr. Howells's work is that in which he has garnered his early and late impressions of European travel, for in Venetian Life, Certain Delightful English Towns, Seven English Cities, and Familiar Spanish Travels he belies his creed as a realist and almost surrenders to the camp of his romantic rivals. In his facts he is nearly as omniscient as Baedeker, though there are occasional lapses unworthy 74 America of the Americans of a realist ; ...but in spirit he is wholly admirable, so urbane, so sympathetic, so full of allowance for manners and customs alien to his temperament. Indeed, the most felicitous hap- pening of his life was that consular appointment which took him to Europe in his impressional days, for it not only yielded a direct result in his topographical books but also stored his mind with vivid pictures of settings for his fiction.
