On Everything. By IL Belloc. (Methuen and Co. 5s.)—A reader
can hardly do better than take this volume and open it at random. If what he finds in it is too paradoxical for his taste, or, it may be, unintelligible—we own that sometimes Mr. Belloc is too much for us—then let him turn to another paper. He is sure to light before long, in all probability at his next venture, on some- thing good. Or if he is anxious to begin with a pleasant impress. sion, let him take the essay headed "On the Approach to Western
England," or " A Crossing of the Hills," in which the writer relates how he and a companion made their way to Andorra,-" of all Places in Europe the place out of which men least desire to get and to which men least desire to go." If the reader has a preference for the comic, let him turn to "The Duel."
