The Adelphi.

The most interesting featere of the second number is the first instalment of Katherine Mansfield's journal. It displays what to many of her readers will be an unsuspected side to a remarkable personality. A poem from her hand shows, too, that she was a poet in the narrower, as well as in the wider sense of the word. Mr. J. Middleton Murry continues this month to go publicly through a process, in his thirties, which many of us went through privately in our twenties : his articles, as his quotations from letters show, have been of assistance to others in similar straits, and are, so far, worthy of praise. Mr. D. H. Lawrence again gives us some curious psychological views in "Sex and Education " ; there is a rather poor extravaganza called "The Pressgoat," and Mr. W. M. Tomlinson, who is always good reading, concludes his delightful article "The Estuary." The Round Table.
