Blackwood's Magazine.

The most important contribution to the April Blacicwood's is a long memoir of Talent Pasha by Mr. Aubrey Herbert. It is the direct vividness of a first-hand, personal impression of a remarkable man. The author considers Talaat to have been the brain of the Young Turk movement. Incidentally, the article throws more light on the almost incredible inanities of our Near East policy. Musings without Method" represent so fantastic a point of view that they have ceased even to be amusing.
