We reviewed at length some time ago

undertook to say which among foreign
Powers should be regarded retrospecureiy,
actually and prospectiveIy as "The Enemies

have before us a companion volume by
the same author entitled The Friends Of
England. In this book also, after recalling
the effect produced upon England ny 'he
pressure OF Spain in the sixteenth century
and by the pressure of France in the SEVEN
teenth, eighteenth and first part oil '''e
nineteenth centuries, Mr., Peel repeats
that the only countries whose aspirations
now seem difficult Of reconcilemeut, II nov

and Germany. Whether EngIishmen shouio
