@APTAIN A. T.. IMAHAN has com.
1 pleted his monumental series OF
&% works on "The Influence of Sea
Power Upon History" with the publ !
tation of Sea Power in Its Rela-
lion to the War Of 1912 in two
arge volumes. Captain Mahan in
his work declares with added EN-,
ohasis his adherence to the policy OF
| sufficient navy. The lesson OF the
var of 1912, he says, is wholly in favor
of such policy. He says that las al
natter of national experience the lesson
IS rather that of the influence of a
negative quantity upon the national his
;ory.', Yet, he goes on, cit illustrates,
N a distinguished manner his principal
shesis--the controlling influence upon
events of naval power, even when trans.
ferred to an inland body of fresI
water.' Whatever "the brilliant evi.
-dence of high professional tone ami
efficiency reached by the American
the eyes of the captain ''may be actu
ally harmful, if it be permitted to con-
,ea the deeply. notifying condition to
which the country was reduced by par.
simony in preparation, or to obscure the
lessons thence to be drawn for prac.
teal application now.' There is no
need a diagram to make his inference
clearer. The series of great works
on sea power thus eliminates in
a work which brings close home
the lesson that naval power is a
controlling influence and as such should
never be neglected thru parsimony or
thru reliance upon past victories.
Understanding Captain Mahan s pur'
pose in enforcing the above lesson
which may be gathered from a brief
preface, one is prepared to follow his
extended account Of the war OF 1872
with a clear conception of its underlying
philosophy.
For him who reads for the mere mar
rative, however, the work leaves little
or nothing to be desired. 1t is a mas
-romancing; beginning with the his
sorical bases of the war in the principles
governing commercial, colonial and
naval policy from the middle of the
seventeenth century down to the time
of Napoleon, and continuing with the
events Immediately preceding the war,
and then with the struggle itself.
1t is worthy of note, in passing, that
The author does not heap blame upon the
British Great Britain was in des'
perate struggle with Napoleon, in which
could find, to save national life and
independence. = The measures
which overthrow Napoleon grievously
injured the United States; by interna.
tional law grievously wronged her also.
Should she have acquiesced? If not.
war was inevitable. Great Britain could
not be expected to submit to destruc-
ton for another's benefit
The dispassionate fair mindedness
that characterizes the authors attitude
toward the Britons is shown turnout
The work and renders the narrative
LOUDLY convincing and tenfold more val
liable than it would have been had the
author sought to wave "old Glory and
shout of Americas naval victories.
Nevertheless the story is thrilling
enough to suit the reader who must have
thrills to keep him from DOING over
1js book. Charts, maps and illustra-
ions add greatly to the interest in the
work, both for the student and the
casual reader. 81 i

NEW EDITION OF "ALFREI

NEW EDITION OF 'ALFRED
LORD TENNYsON; A MEMOIR BY
HIS SON. ''-Tennyson s son accom-
plished very desirable thing in his
biography Of the great Victorian, a new
one-volulne edition of which has Just
been issued; he made a biography in the
reading of which one feels that he has
been made "a companion of the man. -
That this was the purpose of the author
is shown in his preface to the work
where he says:
have endeavored to give briefly some
thing Of what people naturally wish to
know. something about his birth, homes,
school, college, friendships, travels and
the leading events Of his life, enough to
present the sort of insight into his his
tory and pursuits which one wants, if one
desires to make companion of a man.
The purpose is admirable and has
been splendidly carried out. How we'll
only reading of the book will con.
vince one. The book is so full Of inter.
esting, instructive and Illuminating ma,
terial that one can become deeply alb
sorbed on opening it at almost any page
Of immense value also is the book in
the light it sheds on other great men
with whom Tennyson came in contact
either in person or by letter, and the
number Of such men is legion. But the
grounds on which the book is valuable
are too many to name in a short book
notice. The subject, the author and the
purpose should be enough to commend
the book to any lover of Tennyson or
of poetry and men.
