COUNTY. IN HISTORY AND SPORT

Sussex in the Past. By Viscoun- tesa Wolealey. (Mediet Society. 15:.) 1

'Already in "Some of the Smaller Manor-flouses of Sussex," Lady Wolseley has sent large number! of Sussex lovers on a voyage of rediscovery of the county which she knows more thoroughly and depicts more entertainingly than almost any of her contemporaries. In her new volume, which is enriched by eight admirable water-colours and an informative chapter on Prehis- toric and Roman Sussex, by Garnet Wolseley, she confines herself to the Steyning district, to the valley of the Adur and the Chanctonbury area. the Soviet State-takes Her power is twofold. She makes Яce the present benuty of place. That this war is unavoid us able, he adduces from the following old houses and churches, and her excellently-developed historic sense; conclusions:~

enables her to unfold with a very exceptional skill precisely what took place in them through the akes. Historians have a knack of being verbose and stult. Lady Wolseley is invarinbly entertain- ing, and almost too brief.. She never allows her genuine personal- ity to be weighed down by her scholarship.

For, all these evils Trotsky has in Russin to-day have not already practical suggestions.

Smuggled Into Germany and printed partly from the manuscript defending his position when forced into opposition in 1927, the book is Trotsky's own Apologia. He has been accused of deviating from the tenets laid down by Leniu and founding a new party based on Trotskyism." He repudiates the "insult with energy. "Against opportunism! Against a split! For the unity of the Lenin party!" This is the cry with which he onds his recapitulation of past, history in the party and the exposition of a state of affairs which he declares leading rapidly to ruin."

The Rise of Kulacks Trotsky sees the origin of the present system's collapse in the growth of a new middle-class party, growing out of those Kulacks, or prosperous peasant proprietors, of whom Lenin said that they and they alone, in the history of revolutions, had restored the power of Czars, ¡Priests,

2. The bourgeoisie of Im- perialist countries has convinced itaclf of the growth of economic, power in the Soviet Union, but sees that the present system of a proletarian dictatorship based on the monopoly of foreign trade will never secure a free market for the capitalists in Russia..

A LITTLE TOO EASY

The Crime In the Crypt, by Caro- lyn Wells Lippincotts (Phil- adelphia) J

The only trouble with the mys tery story by Carolyn Wells, which begins with a dead body found in a sarcophagus in the crypt of a cathedral, is that the reader will be able a little too easily to point, early in the story, to the solution which Mr. Fleming Stone found right at the end of the book, Other- wise, there is plenty of action, and the book hus touches of the humour for which this American It is a very writer is famous, readable story in a pleasant, light| style.
