+Frank Harris+--man of letters.

Born in Galway, Ireland, 1854, but came to the United States in 1870.

Naturalized. Educated at the universities of Kansas, Paris, Heidelberg, Stra.s.sburg, Gottingen, Berlin, Vienna, and Athens (no degrees). Admitted to the Kansas bar, 1875. Later, returned to Europe and became editor of the _Evening News_ and _Fortnightly Review_ and secured control of the _Sat.u.r.day Review_.

Mr. Harris's work belongs in a cla.s.s by itself. It is valuable partly for its content, as in the case of his intimate portraits of famous men whom he has known, and partly for the force and brilliancy of the style.
