III. G. Wells and His Age

Dark happens to stand just below

height; he naturally lays too great en-
phasis on n phenomenon that he has

volume has a certain value as the en-
thusiastic record Of a disadvantage
ously placed eyewitness; 1t has no
value as criticism. II Is not even the

one can draw an outline only when one

The Good Queen Bess
By Esther Murphy

m admirable piece Of work; he Is
somewhat over jealous IN his efforts
20 disapprove the attacks that have
been made upon Elizabcth'a morals.
iIe has been exceedingly successful IN
demonstrating that most Of the charges
brought against Ellzabeth's private
conduct rest upon nothing more sub
stantial than tho deliberate misrep-
reservations Of her enemies and the
cossip Of malcontents. But he has
given the question an amount Of atten-
ton which Is out Of proportion 70 It's
Importance. Queen Elizabeth's achieve
ments as ruler were 80 great, that
they necessarily overshadow her per-
sonal characteristics. David Hum"
said OF Queen Elizabth. that The true
method Of estimating her merit is to
lay aside al other considerations, and
consider her merely as a rational be-
ing. placed IN authority, and intrusted
with the government Of mankind"
And II Is only by judging her In this
way that we can hope 10 arrive at a
just appreciation Of tho extent Of the
influence she excrted upon the destiny
Of her own country and Of Europe.
Mr. Chambcrlin, however, Is very far
from ignoring this aspect Of Eliza
beth. lie asserts that she is not only
the greatest monarch who has ever
occupied the throne Of England, but
with the exception Of Alexander, Ma
poloon and Casar, the greatest mon
arch who has ever occupied any
throne" The claim may seem extrava-
CANT, and yet there Is much to support
Il. Queen Elizabeth was very nearly
the ideal Of a woman Of action. She
had an unequaled power OF dealing
with any situation that confronted her,
no matter how intraetable or unfore-
seen; an ability 10 accommodate her
interests 20 circumstances and yet
never 70 abandon her interests. Il
would be rs impossible 10 overest.mate
the difficulties which she encountered
as Il would be 70 overestimate the con-
summate talents which enabled her 10
overcome them. The supreme aim OF
her life was the Advancement Of Eng
land 70 the FIRST place among tho ma
tons. And in the pursuit Of It she dis
played n genius that was In every way
equal to tho magnitude OF the task TO
which Il was dedicated.
Knowing this, Il Is impossible not
20 share the Astonishment which Mr..
Chamberlin expresses al the neglect
and Misrepresentation accorded 70
Ellzabeths memory BY tho nation whose
greatness she did so much 10 found.
There Is no more interesting example
Of It than Is afforded by the contrast
between the massive splendor Of the
memorial 10 Queen Victoria, standing
In front Of Buckingham Palace and the
tomb Of Queen Elizabeth IN the solitude
and dimness. OF Westminster Abbey.
And yet the eiiigy upon tho tomb might
well express Elizabcth's attitude to-
ward the verdict OF postority. The i'm
perious features seem 20 wear look
OF Indifferent serenity, as though the
Great Queen found the peace OF obiiv-
ion welcome after the burden and the
weariness Of power, and lay at rest,
unmindful OF earthly homage, In the
majesty OF her eternal abdieation.

ER. FREDERIC CHAMBERLIN
M III has conducted an inquest
WI upon tho supposedly muir
- dcred reputation Of Queen
Elizabeth. and made the amazing dis
eovery that there is life In the corpse.
The title Of the book in which Mr.
Chamberlin has set down the result Of
his investigation Is in itself a ehal-
lenge 20 the many historians, who have
been AZ such pains 70 prove con-
elvslvely that Queen Elizabeth had no
character at all. For Queen Elizabeth
has been the cause Of the utmost scan
dal and irritation 10 various eminent
Christian gentlemen. who have under
taken tho task Of writing about her
and their outraged susceptibiliiies
have reacted disastrously upon her
fame.
Froude and Llngard have heretofore
been regarded as the most important
authorities upon the Virgin Queen, as
Elizabeth Is generally although By no
means unanimously styled. And though
Froude and Lingard were in complete
accord upon one important particular,
an intense adherence Of Elizabeth, the
nature Of their grievances against
her was different.
Lingard. a dcvout Roman Catholic
was occupied In demonstrating that
Ellzabeth's prctensions 20 the title Of
the Virgin Queen were entirely base
less. While Froudc, a special pleader
OF genius, who discovered that writing
history afforded unsurpassed oppor-
tunities for tho indulgence Of personal
prejudices. was so bent upon proving
that Elizabeth was a fool that he was
willing 20 eoncede her right 10 be
called the Virgin Queen; although he
makes Il plain that this was due solely
70 accident, and that she cannot claim
any credit for it. Il Is tho question
OF Queen Elizabeth's merits settled 80
completely and conclusively by Froude
and Lingard. that Mr. Chamberlin has
had the temcrity 70 reopen And his
efforts have been rewarded By results
that are as interesting as they arc
astonishing.
