ESSAYS
REPRINTS
Lend Me Your Ears. By F. Sinclaire. Progressive Publishing Society. 124 pp. (5/-.) First edition, April 1942; reprinted, July, 1943. And the New Zealand public will not read essays! Professor Sinclaire’s, at least, have created a demand according to their worth; and "The Press,” for which most of them were originally written, joins a modest pride to the pleasure of congratulating him. CANVAS AND SILK (i) Humphry Clinker. By Tobias Smollett. (ii) Cambridge Lectures. By Sir Arthur Quillcr-Couch. J. M. Dent and Sons Ltd.: Everyman’s Library. {3/- net each.) Smollett’s last work, and masterpiece, with its Hogarthian realism and rich humour, is a welcome addition to Everyman’s variety. So is “Q’s” choice of 13 of his lecturgs, drawn from the six volumes in which they have previously been carried from his Cambridge benches to a wider public. The contrast between the novelist’s gusto and the Critic’s suavity sharpens appreciation of both.
