BOOK NOTES
As the printing dispute is again causing difficulty in the production of the Spectator, readers may find it helpful to have their attention drawn to certain important new books which it may not be possible review as soon as we should wish. Outstanding among books published this week are the final volume of Sir Osbert Sitwell's autobiography, Noble Essences (Macmillan, 21s.), which will be reviewed in the Spectator by Christopher Sykes ; While Memory serves (Cassell, 25s.), Lieutenant-General Sir Francis Tuker's account- of the last two years of British rule in India (to be reviewed by Sir Francis Low) ; and Sir Newman Flower's reminiscences of Hardy, Henley and many other interesting figures whom he has met in the course of his long career as a publisher, Just as it Happened (Cassell, 16s.), which will be reviewed by John Connell. Other new books to be reviewed in the Spectator as soon as possible include Unpopular Essays, by Bertrand Russell (Allen and Unwin, 8s. 6d.) ; Roosevelt in Retrospect, by John Gunther (Hamish Hamilton, 21s.) ; Why I Escaped, by Peter Pirogov Marvin Press, 12s. 6d.)-the story of a Russian Air Force officer who went to America-and Diaries pf' Lady Charlotte Guest (Murray, I8s.).
