DICKENS AT LAW
His Experiences with Literary
Pirates at Home.

Dickensians will be interested in a
little volume by 7. Jacques, "Charles
Dickens in Chancery," Just published
in London. 1t deals in extenso with
the proceedings instituted by the nov
elist against the publishers of an OBJ
scure English periodical, "Parley's Lii
brary," whose object it was according
TO the affidavits in the case TO "ana-
lytically reoriginate" the works of ia
nous authors. The particular work of
Dickens analytically reoriginated was
"The Christmas Carol" disguised as a
"Christmas Ghost Story"
The thing was, of course, bare
faced plagiarism, says "The Athena
UNI" with only few changes in the
text. THE Old Curiosity Shop" and
"Barnaby Rudge" had previously been
reoriginated in the same way. The
defence raised was OF an almost in
credible impudence. Lee. one of the
firm; Hewitt, the hack who produced

THE STRUGGLE FOR SUPREMACY.

GERMANY AND ENGLAND. by j. a
Crsmb. NJ. A.. late Professor OF Modern
History. Queens College London. limo
PIP. y. 1872 r. Y. Dutton & Co.
Written before the outbreak Of the
great war. this answer to General Bern
hardi deserves all the attention given
by the world TO his now famous work.
IL is more than an answer to the Ger
man militsrist; more than an answer
TO Treitschke's vision of German world
dominion, 30 Nietzsche's will to
power" IL is a book that will outlive
the struggle now engaged, whatever Its
outcome. a historic document for fut-
ure generations as we'll as for the hour,
a statement of English history and
English ideals of world supremacy
paralleling page for page the pro
gramme of German imperialism. And,
above and beyond all this, the book is
literature.
Professor Cramb. who died a year
ago, wrote before the occasion for spe-
cial pleading had arisen. There are IN
his pages no claims of all the virtues
for his country, no Homeric denuncia-
tons of the enemy. He respects him.
he appreciates the grandeur of his as
pirations. he acknowledges their legitl-
macy in world politics. It was. indeed,
20 make them better understood by his
own countrymen, to enlighten their pro-
found ignorance, and thus TO awaken
them TO the danger threatening their
empire, that he delivered the lectures
here printed. A master historian, he
traces the German ideal Of world en-
pire through the ages from the day
when Charlemagne first closely APP
preached its realization, to those OF
Charles V and Frederick the Great.
who knew that the time was not yet
ripe. He makes us see that German
dominion does not mean. in the minds
of it's advocates, the triumph of brute
force. but of a young culture which,
rightly or wrongly, holds that English
culture is waning. that England has
reached the beginning of her decline,
that already, like the Roman Empire IN
its final stages. she has lost her power,
while still retaining the semblance
thereof.
Professor Cramb is as frank as Gen
eral Bernhard himself. The ideal of
universal peace he rejects as an idle
dream, and no more He, too, holds
war to be the price Of empire; and he
Dours scorn upon call the frOth and
loathsome sentiment and empty vapor-
ing around President Taft's Message
praising. in comparison, the courage
and common sense" of Bethmann-HOll
weg's statement at that time, that "the
vital strength of a nation IS the only
measure of that nations ornaments
No less frankly does he appeal to his
countrvmen to shake of the lethargy
that seems to have seized upon them
since the end of the last century. He
pleads for British militarism. he echoes
