of ovcrdOne description and of historical
exposition. Wing and Wing is the perfect
example. As it stands, the novel named
can be placed beside some of Bulwer-
Lytton and some OF Scott and match their
merits as well us their defects. If this is
a long jump from Miss Brostus book,
let's jump back with the statement that
Sir IsumbrdS al the Ford meets as COM
pletely as any but the very select few Of
its kind the requirements that NAV fairly
be imposed. 1t is not extraordinarily i'm

Perhaps the falrcst comparison would be
with S. r. Crockett; and Mr.. Crockett
pleased the multitude in many volumes.
One interesting bit occurs at page 300
in dialogue between two aristocrats, the
Chcvalier and a Madame de Chaulnes,
engaged on opposite sides of the civil
conflict. Nine. de Chaulnes speaking: II

His mother was Sarah, daughter of Sir
Henry Gould, knight, Judge of the
Kings bench-Fielding was in late life a
magistrate in Westminster-and his
father was Edmund Fielding, third son of
John, Canon Of Salisbury, Chaplain to
King William the Third. Edmund Field
ing was Major-General in the army and
had served with distinction under MARI
borough in the Netherlands. 1t was, as
l have said, at Sir Henry Gould's estate
in Somerset that Fielding was born.
However, S.r Henry died in 17l0, and
Edmund with his wife and son removed
10 a house in East Stour, DOrSctshire.
There other children were born, and there,
when Henry was about IL years of age,
the mother died. The father married
again. and the boy, passing through
tutors hands, shortly entered Elton.

cause when you study this new edition of

all its fun is of interest primarily be-

sour immortal Fielding was of the
younger branch of the Earls of Denbigh
who draw their origin from the Counts of
Hapsburg. Far different have been the
fortunes of the English and German divi-

knights and sheriffs of Laicestershire, have
slowly risen TO the dignity of a peerage;
the latter. the Emperors of Germany and
Kings Of Spain, have threatened the lib

No man in London, approaching the
