Captain Hutton describes in this volume GER
tain of the weapons employed by sanguinary
gentlemen from the fifteenth century to the
nineteenth for offence and defence. He treats of
the estoc, the saw edged dagger. the iamberge,
the stiletto, the falchion and dozens Of other
fearsome things He is himself an expert in
ancient forms Of swordsmanship, of which he
has given interesting exhibitions in London
Indeed his military figure is Of the most
familiar in the fencing clubs OF the British
capital where occasionally he serves as Judge in
contests between amateurs of the blade giving
in curtly forcible tones decisions which carry
peculiar weight. He possesses a handsome col
lection Of old weapons. some Of which have been
reproduced for the illustration Of the volume
before us; he is, of course deeply read in his
subject. and happily he writes not simply as an
expert, but as one who has keen eye for the
picturesque part which the sword has played in
history. Thus he appeals 10 the layman as
well as to the swordsman In the numerous
stories in which he embodies his technical de-
sCriptions One Of the best of these stories is
that which relates TO the famous Coup de

the reputation of Jarnac and the fair fame of

story back at Jarnac by way of pleasant lit
tie joke. which the latter. however, refused to
regard such. Quickly the two noblemen

THE STORY OF ABELARD-AND HELo1sE

PETER ABELARD. BY Joseph McCabe. 12mo,
PIP. iN, 4o2. q. T. Putnam = sons
"A unique and much misunderstood per-
sonallty," Mr.. McCabe calls the remarkable man
of whom he has written. His biography. which
supplies a lack Of any full treatment OF the
subject in English sets about explaining and
making real that personality to modern readers
in a thoroughly human and rational way. 1t In
wolves the exposition of a certain amount of
medieval history and ways of thinking on
social, religious and philosophical subjects. and
Mr.. McCabe is singularly successful in pre-
senting these things in such way as TO make
them seem real. He gives a vivid picture of
the young Breton nobleman's entrance into
Paris al the beginning OF the twelfth century
and his speedy rise to fame the most brill
liant daectician of his time and the champion
of Iationalstc ideas. against the established
teachers of the great schools there. whom he
put TO rout and whose pupils he over to
himself. 1t is not difficult. says Mr.. MCCabe, to
understand the charm of Abelards teaching:
His splendid gifts and versatility supported
by a rich voice. charming personality, a ready
and sympathetic OF human literature and
measurable advantage all the teachers of
the day Beside most of them he was as a
butterfly TO an elephant
He was "the centre of a life that had not
been seen since Greek sages poured out wisdom
in the painted colonnade, and the marble baths
and the shady groves of Athens" His only de
fects were defects Of character. and these were
not revealed till the dreadful episode that forms
the turning point of his life. OF this Mr.
MCCabe speaks unreservedly and candidly; and
with due consideration Of medieval ideas of
morality, has little blame for Abelard in his
Immortal love" for Helose. After the disaster
that came upon him a result of this, his
conduct was marked by weakness. cruelty and
selfishness, manifested in his sending Of Heloise
to the cloister and by his later bearing toward
her His course was series of blunders that
wrecked the rest Of his life, and brought upon
himself the manifold tribulations that pursued
him. It is a gloomy story which Mr.. McCabe
portrays graphically he does the brilliant
scenes Of the earlier years His book is founded
on intimate knowledge of the historical
sources and an independent use of them.

lenges. in form OF great antiquity, any
who may deny and gainsay the title Of the King
TO adventure his life against him on what day
soeveT he shall be appointed" Then he throws
down the gauntlet. Three times the challenge
IS read. History does not record any opposi-
tion OF the Kings champion but it does note
that at George IIIs coronation the gauntlet
thrown down picked up by a little old
woman, who reluctant that so finely
dressed a gentleman should lose his glove in so
great a crowd"
Of all the perquisites. fees and claims that
attend the royal progress through the banquet,
can only note that the Earl Marshal is en-
titled to the chimes Of all the swans and cranes
served up: the Lord Great Chamberlain to the
Kings bed. bedding, apparel and all the furni-
ture of the room he slept in on the night before
the coronation. Also he claims "a cup Of as
say" which is not granted. The lord Of the
Isle Of Man is obliged to bring two falcons TO
the King. The lord of the manor of Liston
brings waters for the Kings second course the
ingredients. which Mr.. Legg gives in full prom
ise an unhappy time for the sovereign who eats
them. But many of these picturesque cere-
monies have been shorn away from the ancient
rites as we have noted. Since the end of the
seventeenth century the service has gradually
become as Mr.. Legg notes, "a pageant arranged
for the amusement of the great mass of the peo-
pie rather than a solemn Inauguration of their
sovereign in the throne of government"
