NEWS AND NOTES.
" Expiation*," by E. Phillips Oppenheim (Ward - Lock, " London), was apparently written in that versatile author's youth. "The Young Mother," by Dr. Bernard Dawson, has been issued by- the publishers of " The Mother and the Baby's World/' London. "There is no Death," by Dr. Basil Wilberfor-ce (Elliott Stock, London), is a sermon, with prefatory verse and prayer, by that well-known English preacher'.. "The Supreme Service," by the Rev. F. R. Wilson (Scott, London) is compiled from notes of addresses deliveed to men in various parts of the Empire.
"Love's Soldier," by Olive Christian Mackirdy (Cassell, London) is a romance, with a religious flavour, where the scene changes from continent to continent, and finally the heroine—by her husband, of courseis kissed "as men' kiss who love much and have been long ; denied." Among recent ; publications (Stanley Paul, London) are: "The Gay Adventure," a fantastical love-test story, by Richard Gay; "The Poodle Woman,", suffragette novel, by Annesley Kenealy; •'The Celebrity's Daughter," an autobiography story that touches upon many queer sides of London life, and "The Destiny of Claude," a romantic Scotch guardsman in the-France of Mary, Queen oiVScots, by Mary Wynne. "The Poems of Adam Lindasy Gordon" have been published in the World Library (Ward-Lock, London), and form one of the most notable volumes of that attractive series. There is in English no finer singer of the joy of the horseman and no nativeborn Australian has felt more sympathetically the atmosphere of the " bush" than the ill-fated rider. Incidentally, it may be mentioned that Gordon was born in the Azores and educated at Cheltenham. "• The Round Table (March) not only contains the searching article on " Policy and Sea Power" already remarked upon in the Herald, but similarly noteworthy articles dealing with various phases of the Imperial problem. ' In " The Unionists andthe Food Taxes" much confusion on this important question is cleared away, and it is made apparent why the proposed ' food duties, not in themselves oppressive, were " very unpopular in certain directions" but "actually popular in none." "The Union of England and Scotland " is discussed in a masterly manner; while "Political Crimo in India," a pressing matter, occasions the deduction that : " it is hopelees to disguise the truth that they aim at the overthrow of British authority in India." In' another article "The Home Rule Bill"- is reviewed from both standpoints. Among colonial topics, "The Canadian Naval Proposals" holds first place;-in "Western Views qf the Panama Canal," the advantage offered to trade between Vancouver and the British West Indies is emphasized. Our own local affairs" are somewhat in arrears by the time they are commented upon in quarterly, but New Zealand politics are ably treated from the Imperialist point of view. In every respect the Round Table is justifying the hopes of its promoters and ; is rapidly taking a leading place among the standard reviews of the Empire., • 00^01 /•' 'ISM
