——♦ . WELLINGTON. The Duke. By Philip GuedaUa. Hodder and Stoughton. (255.) From W. S. Smart.

(Bv Herbert Agar, iri the ''New Statesman and Nation.")

In his prefaco Mr Guedalhi asks why it is that tho Duko of Wellington's memory is a trifle faded. He suggests three answers. Tho first is that Wellington's career "was far too successful to be really appealing"; the second is that British tradition ia predominantly maritime, and henco over-emphasises the importance of sea-power in tho victory over Napoleon, thus substituting for adoration "the sprightlier figure of Nelson who, though victorious, at least atoned for his success by falling jn the hour of victory"; and tlie third is that the Duke's political activities provoked the Whigs, and "by a peculiar division of labour, British history, quito considerable parts of which have been mado by Torios, has been very largely written by Whigs." This is ingenious; but it overlooks tho fundamental reason why Wellington was a greater hero to his contemporaries than lie will ever bo to posterity; namely, that his greatness consisted iit an almost spectacular common sense. This is a quality that inspires trust, and sometimes even heroworship, while a man is alive, but which is lacking in dramatic quality, and which, therefore, seldom inflames the imagination of historians.

The Duke's Common Sense. It is, of course, only a failure of imagination that makes Wellington's superb 'common sense seem dull, and it is the chief merit of Mr Guedalla's line book that it helps the reader to overcome this failure. Mr Guedalla has made a living character of his Duke. It is not a mere military hero that lie presents, or a mere subject for pithy anecdotes; it is a man—and a man whom the reader gradually knows to ho great by virtue of his intense normality combined with his success in clearing his mind of cant. The reason that Wellington became tho oracle of his day was not that he had won tho battle of Waterloo, but that he had something sensible to say on most subjects of public interest. His principles were clear, and he applied them steadily to every problem, and not spasmodically, or merely when the result would be flattering. For example, he disapproved of the agitation for the freedom of Ireland, and therefore he also disapproved of encouraging tjie South American Tfepublics in their struggle for freedom, in spite of the fact .that England would mako money if South America deserted Spain, "if you hold that the people of Colombia have been guilty of no crime," he stated, "and that Bolivar is a hero and rio rebel, then you ought not to prosecute O'Connell." Similarly ho would always distinguish, in foreign affairs, between true Conservatism—of which he was the natural supporter—and the adventurous ' self-asscrtiveness of thoso who would ui>o Conservative principles to justify their wars.

The Peace-maker. In 1822, at the Congress of Verona, he did his best to provent tho invasion of Spain; and again in 1830, when tho settlement of Vionna was being flouted, ho used nil his influence to provent English intervention, "lie wrote to Aberdeen that 'there are some bitter pills to swallow. . . . However, Ihe best chance of peace is to swallow them all.'" So he decided, for the simple reason that any more active courso would make more trouble than it allayed, to recognise the Due <1 'Orleans and then allow Belgium to have its freedom. Few statesmen recognise necessity so clearly, when it goes counter to all their own prejudice?. For the peace treaties of Vienna were naturally Wellington's special proteges. "Ho had won Waterloo; his (liplomaey restored Louis XVIII.; the peaco troaty boro his signature; the lloparations settlement was his personal achievement; and if Canning could intimate in a celebrated flourish that ho had called a new world into existence, it was almost as true that "Wellington had called the Old." Principle and Party. The Duke's combination of intellectual honesty and adherence to principle made him a poor party leader. For one thing, as Mr Guedalla remarks, lie was never a master of tho soft answer. Shortly after becoming Prime Minister, Wellington • informed a persistent applicant for" a peerage that as there had been twenty-six creations in the last two years, it was his duty "to diseourago and protest against any more being created unless some public service of magnitude or public emergency should require it. If this duty is not performed, either the House of Lords will become $ democratic body and a nuisance, or coiitemr Mblo and useless. . . ." Few party leaders can afford to tell their followers that the llouso of Lords will be unduly adulterated by their ennoblement. Wellington's Eotreats. The same inability to realise party necessities explains Wellington's willingness to retreat, in politics as in war, whenever the position became * untenable. He retreated on Catholic Emancipation; he was willing, at the eleventh hour, to retreat on Reform; he insisted on retreating on the repeal of tho Corn Laws. Mr Guedalla is altogether right in explaining this, not as the inconsistency of a politician striving to cling to office, but as tho manoeuvres of a man to whom politics are a matter of indifference, but whose fundamental principles demand that he should not permit his party to be driven from the field. His principles demanded that tho Duke resist change, and especially that he resist democracy. Therefore it was necessary to keep the Whigs in Opposition; and to do this it was necessary to make occasional skilful retreats, and to steal a little Whig thunder whenever tho Whigs became too strong. This is bad party politics, but it is a good way to secure the minimum of change. Bismarck played tho same game successfully half a century later; but Bismarck was an autocrat and did not have to bother about saving his followers' faces. The one serious defect for many readers in Mr Guedalla's admirable book is a fflulfc of style. Ho persists, to the point of self-parody, in that trick which ho used to excess in "The Second Empire," Such sentences as this —"So the French marched to Austerlitz, and the first broadsides of Trafalgar came faintly up the wind, as Nelson and Wellesley sat talking one September day in a room off Whitehall," come to sound showy and pretentious, and are no real holp to the reader's imagination. PIECES OF MIND. Mors Lay Thoughts of a Dean. By William Balpli Inge. Putnam. 320 pp. <7s 6d net.) Gathering a second sheaf of his contributions to the "Standard," the Dean of St. Paul's says that it will be apparent ho "enjoyed the fun of writing them" ; also that his purpose wfts "as serious as that of many sprmops in church." "Light honulies, ho calls! tliem; and it will tickle many pepple to think of hi?n, dealing out cheerful thunder and grinning; with delight as hp gives everybody a piece or his mind. And of course the one thing on which everybody is agreed is tlia £ Deaji Inge'? mind ia irresistible—not nsceswuily in argument or dogma, twit;

in interest, in force and lucidityHere—whatever the differences —he is blessedly like Johnson. Ho is one of the very few writers whose pages it is impossible to_ turn over rapidly without being arrested and compelled to read on. For example : T do not altogether admire the American type of civilisation, which is characterised by the maximum of productivity combined with extreme prodigality in consumption. How many minds really band down tho vast accumulations of the past? The number must bo ludicrously small. A vigorous "dictatorship of the proletariat" might massacre the whole lot in six months. Tho best plan, of course, would be for tho King to dissolve Parliament and govern UB himself for eleven years, like Charles J. The country, which only needs rest from incessant phlebotomy, would flourish like a green bny-treo, and we should all be happy except the parasites of tho Government. There is always something slightly comic in an assembly of professional men —doctors, lawyers} clergyman, or teachers. One can gee their natural features partially moulded into tho typical professional type. Aro we really obliged to givo up the comforting faith that "the universe ia friendly." X think this outbreak of pessimism is a reaction against tho untenable anil superstitious doctrine of progress which, after germinating in that factory of poisonous delusions, the brain of }(ousseau, deeply infected tlio science of tlio nineteenth century, spoiling the philosophy of Herbert Spencer, and injuring that of Darwin himself. Ono of tho chief results of tha war is that half the world thinks that Democracy .is not safe for itself. Dean Inge is engaged on another book on the philosophy of religion, "which permits of no relaxation." But even this justification does not/make it less regrettable that he should have to say, ''l have already begun to look back upon niy invasion of tho preserves of the professional journalist as a curious episode in my literary career."

MIGRATORY BIRDS. With the Migratory Birds to Africa. By Bongt Berg. Jonathan Oape. -10/0 net. No pleasanter book than this ever been written for those who wonder where birds go in winter. Mr Berg is a Swedish naturalist and traveller who begins by explaining how he succeeded at homo in photographing the grey crane (Gous communis) on its nest, and then, after many failures and di®* appointments, followed it all the way to Africa and snapped it in winter quarters on the White Nile. The achievement of the author is the remarkable series of photographs by which his verbal claims are substantiated, fortv-five of thefn, beginning m Oland in Lat. 56 deg. N. and ending by Lake Noo miles beyond Khartum, but it is the account of his experiences in securing these results that gives them their full value. Here, for example, is a note on one of his first attempts to got a film on the Nile of one of the great flights northward —hurried because th° birds were already on tHo move. He is hiding on a hippopotamus track at the edge of the jungle, with the high grass tied together over his head and in front of him for a screen: If it should ever be my l"t io return to tho While Nile. I shall certainly look for this spot again. Before a couple of hours had passed ono might for all the world have oe(?n between-decks on Noah's Ark, assuming* that is, that crocodiles were admitted there. First tl\e smaller crocodiles came to the curiae# and drifted along tho eastern side of the bank 1 i 1(0 pieces of tree-bark. It was not more than a few yards from my liiainK-pl#co to the shore, and I could see along the whole land-spit. Whether the crocodiles Jiad »uspicions of my presence I was »s yet unable to tell. Presently three of them became visible, then four, then five. A single one was meanwhile approaching from tho western side. Tho apparently quite lifeless pieces of bark drifted slowly, almost imperceptibly, nearer; rising millimetre by millimetre above the surface. It was cosy to see liow, in this way. they might slowly »idl« up to beasts eominjc down to drink, and to women coming to fetch water, and then EUddejily, with ono bound, dart ashore to seize a chosen victim. Later in the day, when at last I 'succeeded in photographing » herop, an enormous croeodile sneaked up and made such a lunge. On another occasion he gees a hippopotamus cow harpooned and trailing a float of wood, with her bellowing mate circling in fury round her—an abomination that ho admits will continue for manv vears yet, though he hopes that tho 'film ho was able to take will be a useful deterrent without leading to "over-zeal and a superfluity of stupid laws." Tho book has been excellency converted into English by Mr F. KBarton. MODERN KNOWLEDGE. An Outline of Modern Knowledge. Edited by William Rose, M.A., Ph.D. Victor G«l----lancz, Ltd., 1000 pp., 8/6 net. (Through L. M.- Jfrftt, Ltd., ClpristQhwrch).

It is impossibly to review a book thai is twenty-four outlines in one, runs to 1000 pages, and'lmlf a million words, and lias nevqi' in whole or. in part been, published before. And that is only half the wonder. The other half is the fact that the author of each outline JS not only «n authority, but an authority vei'y much alive, and very much in earnest: J. W. N. Sullivan, who discusses the Physical Nature of the Universe; Dr. H. E. Marett, who traces the Beginnings of Morals and Culture; Professor IT. H. K Crcve, who writes about Sox; G. D. H. Colo, who discusses Modern Theories ana Forms of Industrial Organisation, ana more interestingly still, though perhaps with more authority, .Theories and Forms of Political Organisation, Roger Fry, who expounds tho Artg ot Painting and Sculpture; Professor Reilly. of Liverpool, who discusses architecture as no one else in B-nglan to-dav can discuss it; Sir <T. A t. Thomson, who contributes an entirely new outline of Biology; and sp onThe only criticism that can be madeand it sounds most ungracious—arises out of the difficulty ot reading the print, which, though neat and clear, is too small for most people over forty. But if the publishers hove tho success thov deserve there will surely be another issue, not* compressed into • a single volume, which, as ouv eyes age and pockets recover, will make the conquests of all those fields easier. ,

SIX OF EVERYMAN. (H Salammbo. ®y Gustavo Flaubert. Eookwood. By W. Harrison AJn»worth. (Ui) Tales from Henry* 3ienkiejrtcz. (lv) Poems of William Cowper (v) Minor poets of the 17th Century, (vi) p , asc *J. B Pens ten. Nos. 869-874: Bverywan's library. J. M, Dent and Sons, ltd. (2b net each.) As so often before, the editor and publishers of Everyman have added benefit to benefit by issuing these reprints with admirable introductions. Professor Green writes well about "Salammbo," which he distinguishes from other historical novels by "its spaciousness, its greater credibility, and Flaubert's peculiar genius for evoking; the secret life that is latept -in so-called inanimate things." Mr Frank Swinnerton's essay on Ainsworth's capital novel about Dick Turpi n reminds us that ono of the best of living cvitics writes too little. Mr Faussct, - in his eight pages on Cowpef\ says tilings which rise from the. truth about him and yet enlarge and illuminiato it. Dealing with seventeenth century poetry in general, then Avith the four poets grouped in thig collection, liOr/1 .Herbert of Cherbury, Carew, Lovelace, and Suckling, Mr Howarth does, not waste a word or leave anything essential unsaid or Mr Eliot's eloquent introduction to Pascal's "Penseps" leads to the conclusion that no other Christian writer, "not Newman, even," is "more tq lie commended ... to those who doubt, hut who have the mind to conceive, and the sensibility to feel, the disorder. the futility, the mean{ngl<?ssness, the mystery of life ant} suffering, ynd who can only find peace through a satisfaction of th« whole being."

ABOUT WRITING A NOVEL. A Whip fcr tho Woman. Being (Perhaps a Llttla Unexpectedly) An Impartial account! of tho Frosent Stato of tho Novel Market. Intended to be a Guide for All XAterary Aspirants. By Ralph Straus. Chaptnwi and Hill, sis pp. Mr Straus has -written several amusing novels, but none more amusing than this' book about writing a novel, in which he diverts himself at the expenso of publishers, readers, reviewers, all who come into the business, including novelists, including himself. Write a novel with a good Significant title like "Tho Common Throne,'' and tlio first thing that happens is that Mr Harrison (of Harrison and A insworth) thinks of a much catchier ono, "A Whip for the Woman," and insists on that. "But," you point, out wtih some indignation, "there's no mention o£ a whip in tho booli I" Mr Harrison beams. "-Tsot precisely a Whip," li© admits, "but something very near. Doesn't your young womnn, Helen Somebody, go through, a very bad time? Isn't she—er, scourged in a sort of way by tlio inan Gregory? Of course she is. Besides, a whip—" And when the great work comes out the first review (threw or four lines) describes it as tho "commonplace story of a girj who is ill-treated by a rotter," and the reviewer says ho doesn't understand tho title, and the authoress would have done better to adopt a different ending. Authoress! Within a week Gerald Gould, Rebecca West, Harold Tsicolson, and the others have taken no notice whatever, and within a fortnight Mr Harrison is able to report that "A Whip for tho Woman" is deader than mutton; and then a Court case with a little wife-beating in it and an after-dinner reference by Lord Okeharwiton at Beefeaters' Hall to "a provocative novel with a provocative title" make a roaring success of it, and it is turned into a play, and Mr Ilannen Swaffer calls it the dullest play of the century ("Even Shaw at his'worsfc could not have been duller"), but it runs for a year. And so on. Few features or figures of the literary world escape Mr Straus's custard-pies, and it would be a r»ity if any dip. he throws them so straight and happily.

BAUBLE AND CROWN. The Staff's Goose. By Alfred Tmldder Sheppard. Hodder and Stoughton. 400 pp. From W. 8. Smart. Mr Sheppard's latest historical romance, set in tho period of Diane do Poitiers, who is its heroine, ghpws his extraordinary ability to crowd a canvas without congesting it. The book does not really be "in to move strongly until about half of it is done; yet the vigour'and colour of life are there. Mr Sheppard raises a hero from the faint shadow of France Caillette on history, a boy who called the mountebank Caillette father and bore every sign of nobler parentage; who took the notice and favour of the Court, became Diane's servant and lover, and returned to it in her train. It was his ironio destiny to be Court Fool, and for an hour to bo King, on Twelfth Night, and to choose her for Queen. CHEMISTRY. Organic Chemistry. By Parkin and Kipping. New Edition by P. Stanley Sipping. Ph.D., Sc.D., 7.8.8., *nd T. Barry Kipping, M.A., Ph. D. Part 1.. W. and B. Chambers, Ltd. The first edition of this work appeared 37 years ago, and this is the fourth revision. Science, however, moves so rapidly that to revise a book on Chemistry after ten or twenty years is almost to rewrite it, and the whole of the present book has in fact been reset. What remains 'is the general plan-of the original and the manner in which tho subject wag first presented. It is still a test-book, written primarily for students taking a two or three years' course of lectures, and the use of two sizes of typo makes it, easy for beginners to cross once or twice on stepping-stones before trying the full force of the streain. The treatment throughout is sharply practical, and there are many references to the industrial applications of Organic Chemis-. try, ana the commercial methods of preparing and using the more important compounds (qualified always by warnings that fresli developments are always taking place and new methods constantly driving out the old). CHANGE. High Summer. By Richard Church. J. M. Pent and Sons, Ltd. 37a pp. Mr Church's novel -has the rare merit of making people real, in growth and change. The process is largely saddening, because it is largely the victory of the inevitable over hope. A sensitive girl becomes a hard and bitter wife; an ineffective young man, full of generous impulse, declines into limp insignificance; grief makes a foolish woman only more foolish; and so on. But there is no false emphasis, either of cynicism or sentimentality. Mr Church has something like -a poet's yisiocti of life, and dispenses a genuino poetie justice. There is also in his writing % beautiful flexibility, between strength and grace, for which many readers will read him, as he should be read, slowly and in watchful suspense. -

THE ECONOMICS OF PROSPERITY The Koy to Profperity. By Noel M- Pi Botfly. AUeu a»4 Vnwin. 149 pp. (4a 6d net-) Mr Reilly makes Great Britain's problem far too simple, by isolating it. "What we really want," he says, "is not markets but the highest standard of living compatible with solvency," and he reaches his solution along the line of "a better understanding of the relation of wages and salaries to prices." It involves him in a tariff and subsidy policy, the need for which, he says, "would disappear" as other'nations also adopted the policy of "controlled wage increase," and then "a sane world" would emerge from chaos, "freely exchanging the goads and services it can produce in such abundance and degires with such avidity." "If" is a brittle lever.

THE BOOK AND T«E BOY. Tl»8 Bible in Bcotl<wi4- By Siir Andrew Macph&ll. John Murray. (3* 6d net.) This Is an able survey of the present system operating in .Scotland, an analysis of the methods of teaching, and a criticism oonducted with kindly irony "of the few dogmatic principles that still -survive. Sir Andrew will be remembered for his acute stu<3y pf ''Three Persons" —Sir Henry* Wilson, Colonel House, and Colonel Lawrence—tmd it is the intelligence thnt made the success of that book which now attacks the inor© thorny subject of Scriptural teaching, lie is not opinionative, and has no wish to be otherwise; but he is lucicl, generous, and unassuming. His view is that if the J3'ble "is now a textbook in the Scottish schools, like a text-book of mathematics," then the conquest of the by the "written' 1 word-—especially to the Scottish boy, jyith "the weapon pf his Scottish intelligence"—is full of dangers whicn it would be the crowning ganger to ignore. Sir Andrew's contribution ■ to the controversy is pertain to swell Ihv tid*.

IMPERIAL DEFENCE. The Elements of Imperial Defence. By A. G. Boycott, B.A. Gale and Poldeo, ltd. (12* 6d not.^ This is not a book but a compilation, and a dull one at that. The first part'eovers the political and economic development of the Empire, a subject too large for the space Mr Boycott can give to it; in any case there aro plenty of good text-books on the subject, most of which, to judge by his very thiu bibliographies, Mr Boycott has not read. Then comes a summary of the population, resources, and so forth of Great Britain and the Dominions—a summary that is given as fully and perhaps more accurately in some year books. The rest, especially the appendices, is really 'valuable. Mr Boycott Ims carefully extracted from the records of the Imperial Conferences all that concerns defence, and has built up a fairly complete picture ot the defence problems of the Empire and the organisation that has been evolved to cope with them. One looks in vain for critical discussion* or suggestions, hut perhaps tho author has deliberately refrained from u;oing beyond the facts. THE HYPOCRITE. The Old Crowd. By "William Fitigcrald. Longmans. Green and Co. 289 pp. If 5s r ew Zealand readers miss something, of the significance of Mr Fitzgerald's New Hampshire background, the fault is not his, but simply in its mifamiliarity. He shows in . dissolution a social class, leisured, cultivated, x'ooted to the land, the English parallel to which, if obVious, is also deceptive. But though the story may lose a little in depth in this way, thai is all. The figure of Colonel Harlan, whose mask of grace hid his shameless depravity and made him dangerous, is very well drawn. The novel is a retrospect, which shows, after his death, the long-hidden truth about him and the twenty yeai*;' influence, still cruelly working, of his evil genius uj>on others; and from this detached point of view Mr Fitzgerald gives his drama a creeping, inexorable movement.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTSHow to Play Backgammon- By Blchart Boyle. T. Werner Laurie. Tliis small paper covered booklet is well -worth its price (6d) to the student of backgammon. Tho Law of the Lariat. By Oliver Strang*. Angus and Robertson. 257 pp. There at e enough liate and villainy and vengeance in this novel of the Western Ranges to justify a long suo cession of purple patches. But then is aet,ually very little superfluous colour in the book, which is written more plainly than anything of its bind that has been recently published. A Christmas Book. Compiled toy D. B. Wyndham Lewis and G. C. Heseltine. J. M. Dent and Sons, Ltd. 315 pp. (5» 64 net.) This delightful anthology of "ballads, chronicles, songs, stories, poems, carols, recipes, and anecdotes of all ages from St. Hilary of Poitiers to Mr Pooter, but omitting Dickens, "Washington Irving, Father Christmas, Good King Wenceslaus, robins, property, yule-logs, synthetic snow, ye old Englysshe Tuletyde Cheere, and all manifestations of the coloured Christmas Supplement," was first published three years ago. At a reprint price it trill be more widely and warmly welcomed than ever. Spirit Voices. Compiled by H. HoaUgo* Crane. Alex Wildsy* Ltd., Chrlstchtrrch. 292 pp. (6b 6d net.) Records of spiritualistic trumpet seances held in Christchurch, New Ze»» iand. through the medium&hip jancelet Bricc. I ' Step to A Drum. Br Betty fcudflp. CTupaaaa «ad HaU. 887 pp. A picture of life "through th« eyes of an essentially modem girl," | orphan« whose "independent fpirifc beats its wings against the bars" of the home given her by her wiele and aunt. When she esoapjs she finds thai life also is not unlike a larger cage. The Big Boad. By Bath Cross. Leafmaa*, Green and Co. 355 pp. A cleverly written novel in which & stern pioneer Texan/resisting change in his home, typifies Kpstern opposition to the wayß and advance of the urban civilisation of the West. But the petrol lorry succeeds the covered waggon on the road. VJvanti Beturas. By Sydney Horler. Hodder and Stonghton. 320 pp. Prom W. 8. BWt. Mr Horler dedicates his thriller to "all those who have written asking that 'another Vivanti story' might bo done next" ; and they will not be disappointed. The Kingdom That Ww- By Jofcn Lwafcoame. John MuiTiy. SO? pp. A bold romantic fantasy, in which, a shooting trip in Tanganyika ton® into» an adveptirre into the remotest past of Africa, when "the Elephant was God, the Lion the King, the Leopard the Regent, evil and terrible," and Man trembled in weakness and slavery. The bookis gloriously incredible and exciting.

Tht^plums preserved in "Conversations with Oscar Wild*,", by A. H. Cooper-Prichard are not all of thorn fully worth the trouble; bat many will be relished.

On Oetobar 23rd and 24tli, invited by the University of Virginia, a group of distinguished southern writers met at tin university for a conference on such problems as the relation between southern writers and their public, and particular questions relating to southern literature in its present very interesting stage. Among the writer* invited were James Branch Cabell, Ellen Glasgow, Dußose and Dorothy Hcyward, Archibald Henderson, Paul Green, Mary Johnston, Julia Peter kin, Donald Davidson, Allen Tate, Laurenee Stallings, Amelie Rives, Josephine Pinckney, Will L.m Faulkner, Emily Clark, Isa Glenn, Cale Young Rice, Sherwood Anderson, and Struthers Bart.
