Excerpt from book: RICHARD GRANT WHITE. Richard Grant White became ridiculous in the literary and social circles of New York, about the time the English blondes visited this country, by his enthusiastic burst of gush over Pauline Markham. This cockney Beauty had legs like a piano and a voice like a fog-horn.

Excerpt from book: RICHARD GRANT WHITE. Richard Grant White became ridiculous in the literary and social circles of New York, about the time the English blondes visited this country, by his enthusiastic burst of gush over Pauline Markham. This cockney Beauty had legs like a piano and a voice like a fog-horn. Mr. White wrote in the Galaxy that " Pauline Markham possessed the lost arms of the Venus de Milo and a voice of vocal velvet." The delighted Markham read it aloud in the green-room to her fellow blondes, pronouncing the last three words " woice of wocal welwet." Mr. White's literary career has not been quite so distinguished as Lord Macaulay's, Thackeray's, Tennyson's, or even Mr. Longfellow's, so we cannot say when, or how, or with what he first astonished the world. He is no chicken- although he was born in the Spring-for he will be sixty-one years old on the 22d of May, 1883. Like Goldsmith, he is a plant that has bloomed late-blooming much later and much less than the author of the Deserted Village, whose life closed at the early age of forty-six, an age when Mr. White's literary life had only fairly begun. In fact, he is a sort of half-century plant. We would not like to hint that Mr. White is in second childhood, yet some of his literary opinions are certainly childish. For instance: he says he does not know " any living writer whose works show more fastidious taste and careful elaboration than those of Henry James, Jr." After that we should not be surprised to hear him pronounceLongfellow a " bard sublime," or Bryant a first-rate poet. A writer who has the temerity or the cheek to compare That Lass o' Lowrie's with Jane Eyre, might, with perfect propriety, compare Whittier with Shakespeare, Bayard Taylor with Lord Byron, or Kichard H.
