NOVELS AND -OTHER HOLIDAY BOOKS.
Our Book Section is devoted this week to a. choice of books for Holiday Reading, that 4s, of the kind read for pleasure and not for information.
THIS WEEK'S BOORS.
WE are especially considering Holiday Books in this issue, and so .among-the new books I must mention first a new novel by Miss Sackville-West, called Grey W ethers (Heinemann), which, if equal to her other work, will provide excellent reading. For those who are disposed to be argumentative, even on a holiday, Mr. J. M. Robertson's " Hamlet " Once More (Cobden Sanderson) and Woman : a Vindication, by Mr. Anthony Ludoviei (Constable), will furnish food for controversy ; and the four new volumes of Cicero, Polybius, Hippocrates and Strabo in the Loeb Classical Library (Heinemann) offer a mass of entertainment in a pleasant and-veryportable form. •Mr. E. T. Raymond has a book on Lord Rosebery called The Man of Promise (Fisher Unwin), and Mr. W. Basil Worsfold writes on Sir 'Bartle Frere (Thornton Butterworth). Population, by Mr. Harold Wright, is a new contribution to the excellent "•Cambridge Economic Handbooks." Mr. M. Keynes has written a special preface to it. Last, but certainly one of the most important, is The Domain of Natural Science, a volume which embodies Professor E. W. Hobson's Gifford Lectures delivered in Aberdeen during the last two years.
As will be -seen from • our reviews in this number, I have tried to offer some -suggestions for our readers' holiday litera- ture from among books published during the last few weeks. Besides, this, the Editor has written _upon his own ideas for the books in his own -portmanteau.
THE LITERARY EDITOR.
