Excerpt from The Dead Leman, and Other Tales From the French In England, short stories - tales which may be road in half an hour - are not so popular as they arc in Franco This may perhaps be explained, and certainly it must be regretted. In a brief narrative, or romance, nothing should be wasted, nothing should be superfluous, all should converge rapidly so as to produce the desired effect, or to enhance the interest of the given situation. Hence it is a misfortune that English taste is intolerant of short stories. They are welcomed in a magazine or journal; when collected they are looked on with suspicion. Not long ago a critic in Blackwood's Magazine rebuked Mr. Stevenson for publishing a sot of contes in a volume, as if the performance were almost dishonourable.
