AN EVENTFUL YEAR Mr. Guedalla's Hundredth Year 18.1936-the last year of the cen- tury of which he has already wet- ten the history. He considers it, I think rightly, a transition year; since its passing, "we breathe a different air," He gives, in Justi fication, briliant studies of the murder of Abyssinia, the reoccu- pation of the Rhineland, the Spanish civil war, Mr. Roosevelt's New Deal election campaign, and the reign and abdication of King' Edward VII. He paints, as usuni, crowded pictures tinging' with life, his wit is barbed; and he has, even more than ever, something.ter BAY.
