International Scholarship. By Sir F. G. Kenyon. (H. Mil- ford,
for the British Academy. is. Si. net.)—The Director of the British Museum dealt in his presidential address to the British Academy, reprinted in this pamphlet, with the question of resuming relations in the field of scholarship with those who had been our enemies.

"English scholars me entitled to some indication that German scholars desire the resumption of relations ; that they recognize that an obstacle stands in the way of any cordiality in such relations ; that they regret the obstacle, for the existence Of which there may be excuses, though not justification ; that they do not, in short, bold such opinions of England as must make sincere and genuine relations impossible." Tho " obstacle " referred to is the notorious manifesto issued by ninety-three of the leading Gorman scholars at the outset of the war and never withdrawn.
