tan revolt against Charles /.
Mr.. Taylor's conception of the sig
nificance Of the struggle between the
King and Parliament, while not abso-
lutely novel, is unusual enough to be
distinctly refreshing and provocative.
He SCOTS at the idea that the Pariia-
ment represented the people in any true
sense Of the word. It represented on1y
the wealthy classes. The King was,
poor against the rich 'The greater
part Of the Puritan revolutionaries,"
he says, were less interested in their
faith than their profits"
truth in the authors theory that the
English civil war was really success
full bid for power on the part OF the
merchant class, which had gained enor-
mously in wealth and power because
OF the opening up of new markets by
the discovery Of America and OF the sea
route to Asia. On the other hand, in
his antipathy to the rule of the rich,
masquerading under the forms of par
Iiamentary representation, Mr.. Taylor
seems inclined to idealize medieval
social conditions.
However much or little Of the au-
thor's historical and personal interpre-
tations may be accepted as authentic.

tionably well worth reading, if only to
check up the orthodox valuations which
are here so rudely challenged The
appeal of the book is heightened by
its remarkably pungent and brilliant
style.

generally has Just delivered himself
OF this verdict concerning the book
trade of this country: "I think it is
pretty definite that we have passed
the Slough of Despond. Travellers are
bringing in very happy reports from
all over. I judge that the state of
affairs is the result of breaking prices
everywhere, and when we have solved
the unemployed problem the prospects
Of bookselling will never have been
more rosy"
"This applies" he continued, "not
only TO novels, but to general litera-
ture. People are as interested as ever
they were in the good biography and
the good essay. There is not much
demand for new poetry. Tho happier
conditions (the reports agree) are not
confined to London, but exist also in
the provinces. particularly beyond the
border, where, of course, in such cities
as Glasgow, book-buying was never
at a low ebb.
"There Is always a rivalry among
natives added the publisher, "as to
which is the best center for book
buying. The rival claims of Glas-
cow. Liverpool, Manchester and New
castle, for instance, are debated" Al
though Southerner himself, the pub
Usher gave his vote for Glasgow first,
with Newcastle second.
In reply to suggestion that sure
~ the matter of place having a
university had some beneficial effect
on the demand for books, he said that
was naturally SO, but that the class of
books sold in university town diff
fered materially from that in q pure
ly local or mainly commercial center.
In commercial cities the character of
the books sold is much more general
than in such places as Oxford, Cam
bridge or Durham. The publisher re-
marked, in conclusion, that the new
vigorous movement and interest in
books all over the country was "most
encouraging"

THE GUEST OF ALIsTAIR. BY Robert
Aiiison Wood. George Fl. Doran Com
pany. New York. $40.
ONE feels that young Alistair Kill
gour, who goes from Scotland to
take charge Of ranch that is goins
badly in British Columbia, is going to
give a good account of himself. This
opinion Is strengthened when the
reader learns, as young Alistair takes
off his coat to fight the cowboy villain,
that the handsome stranger has studied
boxing "under good masters In Lon
DON" Heroes used to study the rapier
under the best instructors in France,
but now things are different. Young
Alistair does very satisfactorily in the
matter of fighting. He meets good
deal Of opposition in running the
ranch from Miss Lorraine De Roche
daughter of the cattleman who has
leased the place. Also her brother is
positively inhospitable to the inter.
loper on the ranch. But Alistair shows
that he can run ranch so satisfacto.
rily that one suspects he must have
read some books on the subject before
he left Scotland. Also, after he has
unmasked the villainy of Olney Lay
burn, and has successfully fought that
persistent cattleman again toward the
end of the book, young Alistair re.
moves the final obstacle to Lorraine's
love. 1t is noticeable that boxing anc
jiu-jitsu figure about as prominently
in western Canadian stories as CUR
play figures in the stories of Western
American life. Some readers may like
much better, but it is doubtful if the
author can sell his movie rights as
readily.

books, fares rather badly at Mr..
Taylor's hands. The author depicts
him as primarily an actor, who was not
always sincere in playing his roles.
Burke's uarrow-minded emotionaliym
in coniemning the whole French Rev.
olution because a few Terrorists COM
mitted excesses and because Marie An
toinette had a pretty face is severely
condemned.
Disraeli's reputation rests largely
upon his imperiaiistic achievements,
such as the acquisition of the Suez
Canal. Here again Mr. Taylor takes q
new point of departure in his criti-
cism. He quotes from Disrae1i's
novels, STancred," "Coningsby" and
"Sybil" to show that the brilliant, Gym
ical Victorian statesman was also a
dreamer who was genuinely anxious to
alleviate the sufferings which the
masses experienced as a result of the
industrial revolution by putting into
effect far-reaching projects of social
reform.
The study Of Cromwell is perhaps
the most interesting chapter in the
book. For it is here that the authc,
develops most fully a thesis that fre.
quently crops up elsewhere in the bool
and that profoundly affects his judg
ments Of men and events. He is con
vinced that there was more genera
happiness under the medieval mon
archy than under the plutocracy which

Uniform Excellence in Mr..
Burt's Stories

CHANCE ENCOUNTERS. BY MAXWELL
Struthers Burt. Published by Charles
Scr4fasr's Sons. Sits.
]" HERE is quality Of uniform ex-
] cellence about Mr.. Burt's stories,
which range in theme from a
ruthless delineation of the character of
Prussian officer to the description of
an uproarious farce enacted on q
Wyoming ranch.
The best characteristics Of the au-
thor's work are to be found In tho
story entitled each in His Gene
ration" which received the o. Henry
prize for 1920. Here we have subtlety
of thought and phrasing, keen eye for
detail, an excellent appreciation of
psychological values and, finally, cli-
max Of restrained power and genuine
emotional appeal.
The author does not always write
with SO much finesse. A good deal of
the spirit of the war enters into "Shin-
ing Armor," vigorous and extremely
unfiattering sketch of a Prussian Of
ficer at his worst. There is note of
wistful beauty in "a Dream or Two
while straightforward humor is the dis
tinctive quality of "Devilled Sweet
Breads which might almost supply a
plot for a musical comedy.
Mr.. Burt has a fine sense of the
value of words. His descriptive pas
sages are almost invariably successful.
Whether he is describing mountain
peak or the genesis Of a woman's ca
price, he sees clearly and knows how
to tell what he sees. The present col
lection Of his stories must be consid-
cred q treat worthy of any literary
connoisseur.

~ NE seldom encounters such a
q IA vigorous and unconventional
piece Of historical criticism as
Mr.. Taylor has given US in
Modern English Statesmen" In ap-
praising the six men whom he has se-
lected for study, the author invariably
adopts an unpopular viewpoint, and in
variably defends it with skill and pug
nacity.
Robert Walpole is generally thought
of as a veritable symbol Of corruption
Mr.. Taylor represents him as true
English gentleman, who governed with
dignity and honor and steadfastly op-
posed the shoddy predatory imperial
ism which was subsequently made
popular by the Pitts. The author al
most foams with rage when he writes
of the Pitts. To him they embody
everything that is evil and contempt
ible. They are the arch-advocates o1
the policy Of buying English terri
torial and economic concessions by @
lavish expenditure of English blood
They are incompetent administrators
They know nothing Of finance and

On the Warpath

THE WAR TRAIL. BY Elmer Russell
Gregor. D. Appleton & Co. s1.75.
TsHE perennial attraction Of the In
dian story for boy readers is
heightened in this case by the fact
that the heroes of the book are red
skins and not palefaces. Two Sioux
warriors, White Otter and Sun Bird,
go on the warpath against tho Black
feet, who have been stealing horses.
All the familiar Indian methods of
fighting, patient stalking of the enemy,
ambush and sudden attack are de-
scribed with thrilling realism. A large
audience Of enthusiastic readers may
be safely bespoken for "The War
Trail"
