The Anglo-French Review for August contains an article by M.
Georges Roth on the correspondence between the Strasbourg revolutionaries and the London Revolution Society in 1790-91, which illustrates the prominent part played by Alsace in the French Revolution. Dr. Poncetton describes the methods adopted for training disabled French soldiers : he quotes a blinded man's account of how, by ingenuity and perseverance, he taught himself to cultivate his garden. Mr. Maitland Davidson exposes the futility of "The Nostrum of Nationaliza- tion." Lord Charnwood, continuing his studies of Abraham Lincoln, maintains that he was no opportunist, but that his action when he was President might have been foretold by an attentive student of his earlier speeches. There is some inter- esting verse this month, including a long and curious poem, "Lea Amants du Bois-Loriot," by M. Paul Fort.
