In the first place, the gain of having cheap portraits of friends is so great that there is a solid advantage in photographs which would counterbalance a great many nuisances of a very serious sort. And then the collec tions when made are very useful. They supply a fund of talk to people who have nothing to say. Everyone can find something to remark about a collection of photographs. Either they do not know the people represented in it, or they do know thorn, or they wonder whether they know them. Then, if they know them, they can say they arc like or unlike; or they can pay adroit compliments, and make acceptable remarks on the photographs most cherished by the collector; or they can gratify a little quiet malice, and say that they never could have believed so very unfavourable a likeness is a true one, and yet every one knows the sun must be right. It is this fund of easy small-talk which will be the real foundation of the permanent success of photography as a fashion, ft might easily have happened that photograph books would have shared the fate of albums. Thirty years ago, young ladies used to keep albums, and people used to be decoyed or frightened into writing in them. Authors of all sizes and degrees of reputation were entreated to add their mite. Charles Lamb’s letters, forex- ample, are full of references to the albums he had been writing in. But the weak point of albums was that, where they were not occupied by magnificent water-colour representations of perfectly round roses in the fullest bloom, they were too intel lectual. People in an ordinary drawing-room think there is a sort of plot to find them out if any demand is made on their intellect; and to write verses, or even to copy correctly a piece of poetry out of a standard author, is dangerous and em barrassing. It is true that writers in albums were occasionally allowed to get off by writing out in their best hand one of the poorest and best-known riddles they could recollect, such as “ Why is Athens like the wick of a candle?” but even this is precarious, for the answer has to bo remembered and under stood. In photographs all is plain sailing. All that has to be done is to make gossiping remarks about other people, and this is a duty to which the most timid intellects feel competent. “ Photographs are, then, a fashion; but it is possible they may be what, considering the mutability of human things, deserves to be called a permanent fashion, because they tend to supply a want that will always be felt. It is the same with ladies' novels, and other records of the inner life and language of z young women. This species of composition is a fashion of the day. Half a century ago the dear creatures either had no self-inquiring, dreamy life-shadowings, or else they kept them locked up. Now printers can hardly print fast enough to keep pace with all the outpourings of lady novelists. The supply is like that of an Artesian well—it is perennial and ever-flowing. We venture to say that if anyone offered a small prize for a tale of woman’s feelings, there would bo at least five thousand competitors. It is a fashion that wo do not take much interest in; but we admit that it gives something that was wanted. Most women have a latent gush in them; and if the gush does not flow out in marriage, it gladly finds vent in print. As long as there are single women with unrequited feelings, or married women who can make this sort of production pay, and as long as printing is cheap, so long will the lady’s novel last. Perhaps it will improve, but anyhow it will go on. There are other fashions, as to which it is more difficult to guess whether they will last or not. Morning calls, for example, seemed a deep-rooted habit of English society, and yet they are almost a thing of the past. Will sermons go too ? * # * will the ordinary half-hour cut and dry discourse, in which neither the preacher nor the congregation pretend to take the slighest interest, go on in England? Very likely it may; for it serves some objects, though not very high ones. And if it is objected that we cannot believe our posterity will always stand what does not please or profit them, the answer is, that we stand the sermon, and we stand being submerged under confluent waves of crinoline at dinner, and we stand audacious children squeezing out our photographs from us. And if wo can stand all this, why should not others? There must be some burdens that are always borne, and some fashions that do not pass away.” Aroceedings of Societies.
