This article reports on the life and works of the author Helen Jackson. Her fame was limited by the comparatively late period at which she began to write, and by her preference for a somewhat veiled and disguised way of writing. It is hard for two initial letters to cross the Atlantic, and she had therefore no European fame, and as she took apparently a real satisfaction in concealing her identity and mystifying her public, it is very likely that the authorship of some of her-best prose work will never be absolutely known. Some of the books written by her are "Bits of Travel," "Encyclicals of a Traveler," "Bits of Talk for Young Folks," and many more.
