THE REDWOOD TfiE LIFE AND WRITINGS OF HENRY HARLAND (1861-1905) ii ]I R- Harland, said Htmy ly Harland ' s secretary one day to him, will you give me some facts concerning your life and your work for the Editor of who wants an article about you in his Mag- azine? Tell him, laughed Harland, That I was born. And that, thank God, I ' m still alive. This was all the information the Sec- retary got and this resumes Harland ' s attitude toward self-revelation. I Henry Harland ' s life was a direct, vigorous, gracious and open one, with- out much to-do. The achievement of the life might divide itself into an A- merican and an European Episode. As to Henry Harland ' s personality,it laughs, loves, suffers in each one of bis charac- ters; while his spirit sparkles through all the manner of his writing, his style: and Le Style c ' est P homme.

On the rise of ground which domi- nates the house stood, once, a shelter, during King Philip ' s war, for the Sen- try on the lookout for invading Indians; the hill is now a fine, peaceabe old apple-orchard; but the Sentinel ' s or Sentry ' s Box gave its name to the house and to the place, Sentry Hill; which, in Henry Harland ' s posthumous novel, The Royal End, is called Barrack ' s Hill. It is there quite accurately de- scribed. Henry Harland, born on March i, 1861, was as a youth, educated at the College of the City of New York. In 1881 he went to Harvard University, where he stayed for one year as a student of theology. But Cambridge did not give him what he wanted, and when his parents offered him a year abroad he left Cambridge with relief to spend another year in Italy, the better part in Rome. With zest — all the zest of his ardent tern-
