Atlantic Monthly in February, 1903, by Paul Elmer More, the secret of Mr. Hearn smagic is said to lie in the fact that in his art is found the meeting of three ways. To the religious instinct of I ndia, Buddhism in particular, which history has engrafted on the aesthetic sense of Japan, Mr. Hearn brings the interpreting spirit of occidental science; and these three traditions are fused by the peculiar sympathies of his mind into one rich and novel compound, a compound so rare as to have introduced into literature a psychological sensation unknown before. Mr. More sessay received the high praise of Mr. Hearn srecognition and gratitude, and if it were possible to reprint it here, it would provide a most suggestive introduction to these new stories of old Japan, whose substance is as Mr. More has said, so strangely mingled together out of the austere dreams of India and the subtle beauty of Japan and the relentless science of Europe.
