GOD AND THE KING. BY Marjorie
Bowen. 12mo, PIP. vii. 376 f.. 2. Dutton
& Co.
This is the third novel Miss Bowen de-
votes to the life and the career OF Will
lam III, and it is her most ambitious one'
planned and executed on a far larger
scale than It's two predecessors inci-
dentaIly. and with sound historic rea-
son she points out that this prince OF
the House Of Orange deserves the cpl
thet "the Silent" far more than does MS
great grandfather. upon whom II haS
been bestowed. It is probably THIS Sc
cretiveness. the impenetrable mask worn
by the adrot statesman who became
King Of England, that makes him so at
tractive q figure to this novelist, for IL
is his ono trait upon which she lays most
stress. and which she makes-as IT un-
doubtedly was-so important an ele-
mont of his success. Her canvas Is
stretched wide. from the rioting over
the Declaration of Indulgence IN Lon
don to the day of Williams death. sac
fills il with historical characters ana
imagined ones, with fact and fiction
with movement and action, above ALL
with intrigue and diplomacy and plots
with the international politics that
stretched from The Hague to Sweden
and Vienna and Rome, to Madrid and
London, the politics that aimed al
France and the ambitions of her King
Within these gigantic Vaccinations
Miss Bowen pictures the difficulties OF
william in his kingdom, the dstrust and
hatred and obstacles and treacheries by
which he was confronted and obstruct-
ed and undermined there. And here, as
in her former books, she gives to Queen
Mary prominent place In the career
as well as in the private life of the
King. II is brave story, and a
crowded one. which. when all is said
and dono, takes no undue liberties with
facts. The historical novelist is entitled
to a certain measure Of freedom Miss
Bowen does not exceed II.

This is the first popular book oh its

lucidly with the technical side and
leaves unanswered no phase Of the lay
mans curiosity concerning this new
form Of entertainment, which is grad

William Henry Wills, who in 1871
Joined Landells, Henry Mayhem and

came associated with Dickens five years
later in the foundation Of ''The Daily
News" their editorial connection, which
grew into a warm personal friendship
continuing thereafter for nearly twenty
years, Wills following his chief into the
sanctum of Household Words and "All
the Year Round" in the capacity of as
sistant editor. The letters received by
him from his chief during this long
period most of them relating to the edi-
torial concerns of these periodicals, are

lished some twenty years ago by Miss

| The chief impression this correspond
ence leaves on the mind of the reader is
that of the almost incredible amount of
work, cOnscientiously and thoroughly
( done. which Dickens managed to IC-
complish in addition to his noyels. He
was not merely a famous fgurehead, d
great name, at the head Of his publica-
| tions. He edited them in the full sense
of the word, from the determination Of
their policy TO the reading and expert
correction of the page proofs. In addi-
tion he constantly furnished ideas tor
articles. and, as is well known, was a
/ frequent contributor to their columns.
Nothing that has been written about
/ him since his death gives so immediate
and strong an impression Of the con-
stant overwork that ultimately killed
1 him as these letters of his own. In ad-
dition there are frequent revelations Of
his unceasing charity, which, as he 2x-
