(Cootiuucl from asi week.)

Have we then been all in the wrong aboit Arabi
and the Nadonai Movement I Th-re is no doubt that

lied. Th. may be dna in part to the twit that he is
an interesting exile. But It may alio be duo in part
t o a rem conviction that Arabi is not 6o blavk as he
him been painted. If WM 000viction exista, Mr.
'Smedley', book can
.scarcely fail to strengthen it.
From the first, Arabes ram moat have Inspired Mr.
Wortley with extcaordioary intend, if only for

a client who needed all the help he Goal I give, Mr.

Improbable that he will come round to the views
of the author respecting Arabi, he could not
avoid being impressed by die circumstance that Mr.
Boadley has hie own remedy for the troubles of
Egypt, and one other, neither of which has been tried
by the present Goveromeot. The remedy which
Mr. Bros Iley outlaws may potato meet the
difficulty, will. saner or letir, be ad. pted. It is out
e•tt.itt that the *stab ishment of • British Pro-

doe Mr. Bei...alley, who quotes bleneral Gordon with
excludible satisfaction, observe that couscionely or
unixmacionsly hie authority intimates that Arabi le
not wholly to be trusted? "H. must be judged by
an Egyptian, and nit by an European Standard."
Exactly. And, allowing that Arabi I. all that Mr.
Broadley thinks him to be, it does not follow that de
ride of Emit might safely be committed to his
keeping. He might be able to build up • .trong
National Government ; but, after all that has happened.

land can two expected to endorse. England wants to

recognise the reesonableneo of this desire. No one
bee done more to show up the Egyptian ittndard
than be has. His book Is a brUliant vindication of
Arabi. It promote some siogularl vivid pictures of
life in Egypt, it explitins the movement, it
contain, valuable information on knotty legal points
It la full of entertaining anecdotes, some of its pages
are saturat,d with humour; It Is satirical without
being 111-natured, and lively without Wog promos';
but there is one purports it does not accomplish. Mr.
Broadley. with all his abilities and all hh eloquent
