what direction they were going to
jump next. Only this spring they
have been responsible for three books
as unusual as The Young VtSiters,
Barbellion' s Journal of DisdppOlnt-
ed Man and Sir Harry Johnston s
-Dombeys. They have given US
plays by Arnold Bennett, sociological
discussions by Wells, translations of
Andri Glide and essays by Give Bell.
Only in the direction of fiction are
they not quite of sufficient enterprise.
The only two novels of interest that L
can at the moment remember their
publishing during the whole of the
war are the aforesaid GGy-Dombeys
and Creighton S History Of an Attrdc-
tiOn, the latter most undeservedly
neglected. l dare say there are others

one or two real poets.

poetry.
There remains Mr.. Martin Seeker,
the most truly individual and eour-
ageous of all the London publishers.
His output during the war has been
slight and at times has been in danger
of resolving itself into Mr.. Compton
Mackenzie. Far his finest book dur
ing the war, in my humble opinion, has
been Frank Swinnerton's N0cturne,
beautiful work, at least as sure of i'm
mortality as many grossly Overrated
mid Victorian masterpieces. There
have also been the poems and essays
of T. C. Squire, the poems of Flecker
and Maurice Barring, and this spring
The Queen of China, the book OF
poetry by Edward Shanks that won
last week the Hawthornden prize.

The book is divided into ten cantos.
Canto One concerns the "human scrap

Clean Living, Right Eating, and Red
Blood. In the middle of this canto there
is Dance Of the MoIars.
Canto Two is a personally conducted
tour through your tummy and other

hints in this eanto of the "dark brown

lemon squeezed in a cup of cold water
to be very effective in teasing back to

remember the food poisoners he has sent
to jail, and withhold criticism.
There's Canto Seven. 1t is an ode to

7 HAVE been reading the Iliad of the
Il lobster, the Paradise Lost of good
digestion, the Pilgrims Progress of the
bean, the Inferno of the Welsh rabbit.
The author of this sublime literary
mosaic is Alfred W. Hercules McCann,
who cleaned out the Augean stables of the
food warehouses, garrotted hundreds of
professional baby poisOners and took the
Nemean lion of food adulteration by his
jowls and strangled him before a cheer
ing and grateful public.
The book is titled The Science Of Eat
ino, which is new and enlarged edition
of This Famishing World. 1t is book
that no human being who eats should be
without. If you do not eat, read it for
its literary and dramatic quality. 1t is
written by a man who thinks with his
fists, writes with his brain-a fearless
man writing on subject of almost uni
versal interest, food.
Mr. McCann is proof again, and de-
finite proof, hope that the common
place does not exist for the dramatic
imagination. Personally l only use food

ing season has been entirely fulfilled.
We have had during the last fortnight
peace celebrations, coal strikes, and
no books at all. | cannot think of anv
book of the slightest Importance that
has seen the light during July.
This seems an admirable Oppor-
tunity to talk about London publish
crs; anything more daring never
knew than for an author to talk at the
top of his voice about publishers; but
I am unlike almost every other author
] know in this startling respect, that
| like publishers. / believe them to be
an honest race of men trying to keep
the wolf from the door and quite
ready to help the author, after the
wolf has been so kept. |
There, indeed, is the rub. Most
authors expect, nay demand, that
publishers shall look after their needs
first and feed the little budding pub
fishers afterward. But whyF
A publisher is only human. Why
should he, feed Mr.. Charles Garvice
before his1 own little Matilda? The
idea is all against nature. ,..r-.
Where, however, publishers do
make a mistake is in pretending, as
many of them do, that publishing
never pays. Rich and popular authors
often make the same mistake about
their profession. Never pays4' That
is foolishness when one considers the
knighthoods, the motor ears, the
houses in the country and the little
trips abroad. 1t pays, of course, very
we'll, but it has its risks and dangers,
and just now il must be as exciting as
roulette.
I was asked the other day which
were the six publishers VINO had, in
my opinion, most nObly breasted the
War.
Six is large number; nevertheless
it is fact that in London six pub
fishers have managed to keep their
doors open and to maintain definite
connection with art and letters. ThO'l
six, it seems to me, are: Macmillan,
Hcinemann, ChattO & Windus, Mar
tin Seeker, Elkin Mathews and Con-
stable.
Other firms, such as Hutchinson,
Holder & Stoughton, Methuen and
Cassell, have published many books,
some of them good ones, hut their lists
have been quite definitely material,
and one has not watched them with
any expectation of discovering nov-
city or genius.
The house of Cassell has been mar
vellously successful with its fiction
during the war. 1t has tathered' Mr..
Britling and Joan ana Peter. The
