The July number of the Atlantic
Monthly opens with an article on
Gladstone, presumably by the editor.
Ii is a review of his long and memoir
able career, and very sympathetic
withal. 1t is a forerunner of what will
surely, be deluge of Gladstone Htera-
tlre, just as last year there was del
! uge OF Tenryson literature consequent
upon the publication of the Memoir
by his son. Mr. James Bryce has
very timely article on THE Essential
Unity of Britain and America He
sums uD by saying: But the greatest
thing of all is that the two peoples
should realize, as. we may hope they
are now coming 10 do, that whether or
no they have formal alliance, they
may have a league of the heart; that
the sympathy of each is tower Oh
strength to the other; that the best
and sureSt foundation of the future pol
icy of each is TO be found II relations
of frank and cordial friendship with
/ the other" James. K. Rosnler writes
about The American Evolution. De-
pendence, Independence, Interdepend-
ence." He concludes that the. welfare
of the world depends upon tn accord OF
the English speaking lands. In some
respects the most important article IN
the number, which is filed with unusu-
dlly CNCl LII tiiS AZ
lantic, is THE Decadenee of SPAIN by
Henry c. Lea, the historian of thy in
QUESTION No one is better fitteN to
deal with th:s question that Mr.. LEA,
and 10 one could have dealt with it
better than he has. He traces and
makes plain the cause of SPANS deca-
derce. Professor J. Lawrence Lough-
lin treats of War and Money. Some
Lessons of 1862" A delightful article
is Bradford Torrey's "At Natural
Bridge, Virginia" 1t is a summertime
article, and makes one long for the
mountains and the forests. Mr.. Torrey
did not find Washingtons name on the
bridge. Is this delightful legend to go
along with that of the cherry tree?
Perish the thought, rather than the
legend. The present number begins
