This was the opinion of Mr. Thomas Hardy, the last of the great Victorians, about that other great Victorian, John Viscount Morley, I was a penetrating comment, which postulated a doubt that was sometimes reflected in the conversa tion of Morley himself in his declining years. He often asked himself the ques tion: Which, if you had your choice, would you have rather been, Gibbon of Pitt senutay or Palmerston!" And he never discovered the answer.
Perhaps it will be found by readers. and they will be mary, of the delightful book which Brigadier-General John H. Morgan has written about his friend and literary confidant, John, Viscount Morley: An Appreciation and Some Re- miniscences" (John Murray),
As the world well knows. "Lord Morley) left instructions in his will that of bim- self, one of the princes of biographers, be no formal biography should ever written. Therefore, the details of bis private life and much of the secret his tory of which he was the only custodian will be buried in oblivica.
BURIED THITH.
But without in any degree contraven- ing the solemn adjurations of his friend, General Morgan has contrived to give us an appreciation of Morley, suffused, As he puts it, with personal reminis cence, which is at once revealing, inti- mate, and of intense interest
When Lord Storley resigned frotu the Cabinet on the eve of the war the country was intrigued, but it soon, forgot the incident in the great surge of events. Will the whole truth ever be known: Lord Marles, we are told, wrote a secret memorandum on Dur foreign policy, which was kind of apologin for his resignation, and he was urged frequently to publish it. But he resolutely refused, "No! he said.the truth can never be

WAT.
I was always opposed to the Anglo- Russian agreement." said Lord Morley, "so was Kitchener. Who stands most to gain out of this war? Russia. Who is the real aggressor Russia. At the end of it we shall have her on our backs." Further, What should I be doing in a War Ministry. All this was said in September, 114
PASSAGE OF ARME.
Que day, years afterwards, Burd Haldane had 2 passage of arms with "You Morley about the conversations. were a party to them," declared Lord Haldane. This was denied. Lord Hal- dane asked Morley to produce his red hox of paper about the Committee of Im- perial Defence, and out of it he extract- ed a memorandum. At the foot of it were two tell-tale postscripts-the first, Doubtful if I ought to approve of this, the second," But I suppose it's in the interests of European pence.
This story was revealed a few months before Lord Morley's death, and General Morgan states that he never had an op- portunity of catechising him about it,
Morley judged his political colleagues as be judged historical characters. and of them we obtain many netralog analyses. Thus of Mr. Asquith he de clared on the Sunday after the declara, tion of war, Mark my words," he is not the pilot to weather the storm." In 1919 he said again: Liberalism as we have known it is dead beyond resurrec tion. Asquith should have stuck, to the law.
He was meant to be Lord Chancellor, not Prime Minister."
Of Ir. Lloyd George and Mr. Chur- chill he said this: Both are strong- willed me. But whereas Churchill knows his own mind, Lloyd George ia always concerned to know the minds of other people."
Of Lord Birkenhead and Mr. Chur- chill this: I foresee the day when Birkenhead will be Peime Minister in the Lords, with Winston leading in the Commons. They will make a formidable pair.'

General Morgan has written a fascinat ing book about one of the greatest figurea of our time. It is to be hoped that there: I will be others from the same pen on the same theme. They would at least be some tompensation for the absence of that formal biography which the world will never see. General Morgan, in the role of Morley's Boswell is eminently successful
