Lloyd George : the Man and hue Story. By Frank
Minot. (T. Fisher Unwin. Is. 6,1. net.)—Mr. Dilnot's lively and amusing eketelt of the Premier is worth reading. He writes as a candid friend, and devotes a whole chapter to Mr. Lloyd George's " ineonsistenciea," but for all that he contrives to suggest that the history of England for the last ten years has centred in his hero. The future historian will, we think, take a different view. Mr. Dilnot gives a very dis- creet account of the formation of the present Ministry, and then launches out into very indiscreet predictions of what Mr. Lloyd- George will do as " the personal director of democratic Britain, as grim an autocrat as was Oliver Cromwell." The comparison is un- fortunate; Mr. Lloyd George resembles Cromwell in nothing except his Nonconformity.
