Excerpt from A Reckless Character: And Other Stories In 1878, at the meeting of the Literary Con gress, during the Paris Exposition, the represem tatives of all European literature unanimously, and by acclamation, elected him the president of one of the sections of the Congress. In 1879, during a visit to London, he received from the University of Oxford the honorary degree of LL.D., because he had displayed in his works (especially in the Memoirs of a Sportsman) a thorough knowledge of the manners and cus toms of the common people.
