Some Signs of Spring The hounds of spring may be
on winter's traces•— spring began officially last Wednesday—but there is not much sign of their own traces so far. Among the customary outward portents of the season—other than those which Nature herself provides—are a sharp expansion in the flow of books from publishers' offices and the appearance of a Spring Number of The Spectator. The two are -not' dissociated, for one factor to which this issue owes a good deal of its bulk and not a little of its interest is the attention given on later pages to some of the principal volumes published in the last week or fortnight. The fact that the reviewers include such writers as Dr. G. P. Gooch, Graham Greene, William Plomer, Peter Fleming, H. W. Nevinson, Edmund Bonamy Dobree, Sean O'Faolain, Quintin Hogg and Stephen Spender is sufficient guarantee of variety and competence of treatment.
