Britannia, the new sixpenny weekly, has come out with a
flourish of trumpets. As we go to press, we have only seen a few proofs of Mr. Gilbert Frankau's new paper, but we can cordially approve of the following : " There, will be no social-gossiping, whether by peers of the realm or penny-a- liners in Britannia. All that we seek is the benefit of Great and Greater Britain. All that we can afford is service. All that we have to offer is a paper we believe to be worth reading ; a paper whose opinions, even if they be wrong, are at least courageous and therefore deserving of your respect." Lord Birkenhead writes on " Divorce," Mr. Arnold Bennett on " Pernicious Politicians and their Cure," and Mr. Frank Hodges on the Coal question : Britannia seems as if she would rule the waves of popular favour and we wish her all success.
