A COMPARISON OF POETRY AND MUSIC. By Sir Henry Hadow.

(Cambridge University Press. 2s. Oci.)

Tins pamphlet was the Henry Sedgwick Lecture for 1923 at Cambridge. It is a sound incursion into constructive aes- +h..+ies, and develops the Lessing-Schopenhauer theory of the

division of the arts according- to time -and space- categories. that system of criticism, being founded on true differences of craft is irrefutable, and is to-day still the potent weapon for recalling novelty-maddeneil amateurs to a 'realization of the sane limits and special functions existing between the plastict tilts, literature, and music.. Such people should drink this, lecture as a cure for their literary calenture.
