Disturbed Dublin The Story of the Great Strike of 1913-14, with a Description of tho Industries of the Trish Capital. By ASOLD WRIGHT. London: Longmans,

·Green & Co.

As the author of this excellently-written work says in his closing chapter: The riso and decline of Larkinimo Dublin con stituto one of the most remarkable chapters in the history of modern industrial conflict. It is a phenomenon which deserves to be studied carefully by every sociologist who wishes to take accurato note of the develop- ment of modern democratic thought.

The late Queen Victoria was one of Lady Bulmer Lytton's pet aversions, and her alloged parsimony is frequently referred to "To-iny is the annivejaary of our little wolfish Queen's wedding How I wish Prince Alber would velebrate it by biting her very untempting cheek till the blood streamed down her (as that ornament to the English Cabinet, Sir Lane (Lady Bulwer Lytton's most frequent manner of alluding to her husband), used to do mine), giving her a vigorous kicking into, the bargain; sending The her children off to Germany or chewhere oxtraordinary personality of the leader of away from her;

Mr. Wright deals with his subject with all the skill of a trained and experienced observer of social and industrial conditions in many lands, and zo better summary of the scope of his enquiry could be given than the para-Yews was followed by Police Court pro- graph quoted above. It is to be regretted ceedings at the Sussex watering-place on that this book should have appeared at a November 16th. time when the wider interests of the Empire Are in the crucible of Fate; but, neverthe less, it would he well for those who seek relaxation from the strain and anxiety of the war to read this admirable study of the conditions of life in Dublin at a critical period in the domestic history of the Mother

Country.

Very wisely, Mr. Wright has not confined himself merely to the various phases and porsonalities of the Dublin strike. He has dealt with the causes of the decadence of former industries established in Dublin, the growth and development of present-day industries in that city, and, in a most illuminating chapter with the conditions of life and labour in Dublin. Here, Mr. Wright as a most congenial topic, and he has seldom lone anything better than the chapter in which he enables us to visualise the appalling conditions under which the poorer classes live In the Irish capital.

The man was remanded to Lewes

Prison, and Mise Dinet was sent to the Police Detention Home pending the return of an uncle from Holland to take charge of her.

The hunt for the missing couple had been going on for some days, Mr. Antonio the uncle d'Ancona, of Amsterdam, referred to, going to London with a Dutch police officer,

The uncle stated in an interview that all would be forgiven if Miss Diet returned home. She was the daughter of a wealthy planter in the Dutch Indies, and would come into half the great fortune he left on her coming of age. Her mother was still in the East, and she had been sent home to Holland to stay with relatives and complete her

She left Leyden on Sunday, October 20th, saying that she was going to sec relatives at Amsterdam. The school- master left the same day, and the next day they left Flushing together for Folkestone.

They certainly need remedying, campaign, not the solution in a difficult problem. Had his compaign been carried on a little longer, he would have rained the employers of Inhour in Dublin and probably would have driven capital for ever from the country; but that could not, by any process of reasoning, have resulted in "success," which, to be real, must mean the amelioration education. It was at a school at Leyden, of the anhappy lot of people struggling when preparing for the University, that against conditions for which the present she met Heyningen, the mathematical employers of labour are not responsible. We master way? gather from fr. Wright's book that what is needed to bring alleviation of the state of object poverty and physical and mental dogeneration in the slums of Dublin is the introduction of more capital and its applica tion to a greater variety of local industries. Jim Larkin, as the Napoleon of the revolu tionary movement, met his Wellington in the person of Mr. W. M. Murphy. It is natural that this work should place these two out- standing personalities in juxtaposition, and though there may be more of Larkin than of Murphy in its pages that was necessary to tell what manner of man he is and the nature of his ideas and airs and their impossibility.

his Wo congratulats Mr. Wright on method of treatment of a complex subject. is as an impartial and skilled observer rather than as a partisan that he has donlt with it; but, so far as we can see, he could not do anything else than take the side he does after his thorough investigation of the facts leading up to the strike and the circum- stances that developed from day to day during based on continuance. Larkinism, Larkin's notorious utterance, "To Hol with Contracts," was impossible. We have seen a similar state of anarchy arising out of the repudiation of a Treaty as merely a scrap in the dotanin of international of paper politics. If there is to be no faith, no trust, no reliance on agreements between employer is and employee, then there is an end to

Follective bargaining, and it is to the 1 credit of the majority of the Trade Unionista of England that they had the sense to recognise this outstanding fact and threw larkin overboard. Mr. Wright's book, let us hope, will be read by all who are interested in the relations of master and servant and the broader sociological questions of the day.

Unpublished Letters of Lady Bulwer Lytton

With an Introduction and Notes by S. M. ELLIS. Illustrated. London: Eveleigh Nash, The recent publication of Lord Lytton's Authoritative biography of his grand- fathor, Edward Bulwor, first Lord Lytton, having once more aroused public interest in the unhappy marriage of that nobleman, we ore treated in this volume to another phase of a sordid story. We of the present generation are less interested in the un- fortunate relations of Lord Lytton and his wife, and it would be tiresome to read these reiterated denunciations of one whose life was doubtless open to criticism were it not for the frequent allusions to other person- ages who figured prominently in the early and mid-Victorian period. Lady Bulwer Lytton was a clevor woman with a grievance which obsessed her and warped her judg- mant so much that it is questionable whether her bitter references to other people should have been given to the world. She invaria ably dipped her pen in gall, and it is well
