The vogue of Trollope is remarkable. Mr. Michael Sadleir, by
reprinting his most admirable biography-cum-commentary of the novelist, has done something to contribute to that, and so has Mr. Charles Morgan in his introduction to Williams and Norgate's new edition of the Autobiography. And now a journal devoted solely to Trollope and no one else has broken on the world. The University of California is its chief begetter, but the Cambridge University Press has accepted adoptive paternity here. The first issue (there are to be two a year at 5s. each) has been sold out everywhere, but it is being reprinted, and another is promised for September. All the recognised Trollopians here—Mr. Sadleir, Mgr. Ronald Knox, Sir Humphrey Milford, Sir Shane Leslie—are associated with the ven- ture, which has the advantage of being launched on the flood-tide of Trollopolatry. .* * *
