In this age OF many books IL is some
what hazardous TO speak OF any single
one or any series OF them as filing a
widely felt want. Yet this is what the
Home University Library has done
since the issue of it's earliest volumes,
and what II continues to do with each
and every addition to their number
It's editors take their task seriously.
and they are competent, as Is witnessed
by their choice OF contributors. Au-
most as invariably they have the touch
that gives the "popularization" of any
given branch OF human knowledge its
educational value. There is, for in
stance, Professor J. B. Bury's contri-
button to the division Of philosophy and
religion, "A History of Freedom OF

How to" books are now a well de-
fined class, which ranges from books
on how to listen to music to little vol
umes on how to care for heart patients,
and a class which, naturally, finds a
wide audience. There is another class
Of books not altogether dissimilar in
character which seems to meet the
needs and tastes OF many. Books Of
this nature may be conveniently des-
ignated as 'retold books" The author
of this volume has retold in English
verse many of the Wagner legends.
Through England With Tennyson" is
very lightly written chronicle OF
summer pilgrimage made by him and
his family to the scenes associated with
Tennyson and his poems, In which the
writer r-tells something Of biography,
something OF history and of legend,
and many anecdotes.
He carried a volume of Tennyson
with him from which he read from time
10 time at appropriate places. and his
text is thus interspersed with quota
tions from the poems. He describes
the landscape of the country through
which he journeyed and the shrines he
visited. localized scenes in the poems
he attempts TO locate. Many photo
graphs taken by himself are repro
duced. The pilgrims were guests Of
the present Lord and Lady Tennyson,
to whom the book is dedicated. by per-
mission.
