the most remote and erudite subjects is advancing so rapidly that it is impossible to be in the via in coeh one of them, and so most of us leave it to the specialists to gathor into the compass of a book what they have been able to garner in the fiold of knowledge while we endeavour to profit from their labours. But we can only " inform "- murselves of the discoveries and developments of a few of the subjects. If we are honest, we must confess our intellectual limitations. All we can hope to do is to beneit from the assistance a library of this nature gives to us in the direction of self-culture. That, nt any rate, is within the reach of all of us, and if we have preferences in the world of knowledge if we choose the more truly literary subjects in preference to the more scientific, we can console ourselves that other. people have preferences in other directions. Some of us prefer the lily to the rose on the orchid. Some of us prefer Millais to Watts or Turner, Goya in preference-to-f Velasquez, Corot to Moissonier, Holbein to Rembrandt, or, in the realm of music, Wagner to Verdi Mascagni to Puccini, Handel to Beethoven or Mondelsohn. 区

If it is the latter, and one wishes to learn sordething of the subjects that interest our neighbours, and it may be, give thou à breadth of outlook we ourselves do not possess, then there could be no better way of remedying the defects of early training than to become a reader of the Home University Library.
We have found Dr. Munro's "Prehistoric Britain" absorbingly fascinating. He has given us a totally new aspect of our own land, and has enabled us to visualise tho European Continent and early man as we have never been able to do before. The other day, we heard a very young man denounce the Darwinian theory. We had thought that no one born within the last twenty years could be found who did not arcept the theory of ovolution. But the influence of the theologian who takes a purely literal inter- preintion of the Scriptural description of the- creation is not yet dead, and that doubtless will continue whatever discoveries science has in store for us. We must say that Dr. Munro has given us a better ides of pre- historic man in Britain than we had when we stood, a few years ago, in Kent's Covera at Torquay and tried to beliere what the guide told us there. We did not know that the Paleolithic folk had bequeathed to us in the various caverns in Europe, "AD art gallery of some four or five hundred specimens of engravings, sculptures, and even paintings in colour, many of them being so true to their models that they bear & favourable comparison with analogous works of the present day." Dr. Munro summarises the evidence of the discoveries, up-to-date,
