REFLECTIONS ON MAN
The Gorge. By Lord Byron. John Murray. 113 pp. (3/6 net.) In this little prose work, the prlsent Lord Bvron imagines himself as an angel presiding over the creative evolution of a gorge in the primeval world. The resulting meditations and speculations are described by the publishers as a "fantasy, an allegory, a survey of life and an appeal to idealism." If the fantasy is more obvious than the rest, perhaps that may be due to the profundity of the author. Nevertheless, on the surface, the book appears to be a series of quasi-historical reflections on the origin and destiny of man in relation to science and to Holy Writ.
