Reviews Of New Books

Shaw upon his return to England set
down in a series of letters some of
his Impressions of this country. This
book embodies these letters. It's title
indicates the spirit In which they
were written, the spirit of kinsmen
and friends. 1--WE men Of the Anglo
American race, we must be comrades

friendliness toward America that
these letters manifest there is added
as well the sound judgments of a
man of wide experience in the vital
affairs OF his own country, a man of
broad outlook and good insight Be-
sides. Lord Shaw writes engagingly,
stimulatingly, in the easy manner of
the waywise companion, in the clear
statement of the trained exposition.
One comes out of these letters about
this country satisfied that neither an
indiscriminating admirer nor an in
corriGible fault-fiinder has, in this
case, dealt with America. Instead, a
fair and friendly man has passed
upon the promise and the possible
danger of the country.

ing the four years following the year
1852. At the beginning of this period
of absence from home for the sake
of an education, Haeckel was a youth
Of eighteen. The letters are. there
fore, of n specially revealing nature.
They are filed with spontaneous con-
fidences, such as the young are likely
to give. They show, also. the tenderly
affectionate attitude of the German
youth toward his parents, toward his
whole family. 1t Is this open quality
that gives special value to the letters
of this boy who was ultimately to
become a great naturalist and phi
losopher. The letters give opportu-
nifty for one to trace the thinking
and feeling and behavior of a great
man in the making. They give, in
complete sincerity. one example, at
least, of the German mind in its
nature and bent and achievement.

This is that situation: A dying mother

gets its start and pursues its way
through the freakish behavior or a
rich and miserly grandfather whose
last will and testament is of mo-
