Lord Sandersen, the new, blind, Socialist peer, formerly Mr. Sander- son Furniss, who comes of famous north-country families, is "a man and a brother," with no rooted hos→ tility to occasional jollity, and will- ing to tell a funny story against himself.
He has just written a delightful' book about himself"Memories of Sixty Years" (Methuen's, -10s. 6d.), and in a prefatory note he says that a candid friend, to whom he con- fided the idea of writing his memoirs, said: "It seems a very conceited thing to do. Who on earth would want to read your Wife?"
Lord Sanderson, although too blind to read, was principal of Ruskin College, Oxford, for years, and when he went on a health trip to Australia a few years ago he was put down in the passenger lot, by mistake, as "Professor." He could not understand at first why the captain, a genial man, was so cold and distant with him.
"Human Relations,” "The captain," he says, "always addressed me as 'Professor,' and one day I asked him why he did so. 'Well, aren't you a profesor?' he said, and when I told him I was
