Mr. Nevinson's great work, for which he may live in history, was his campaign for the suppression of the slave trade in Angola, which supplied tabburers for the cocoa islands. He tramped alone "into the interior of Africa, everywhere fading evidence of man's cruelty, inspired by greed, with only little bancs standing out, where one or two missionaries had camp e-Plymouth Brethren or, Amezicios with strange creeds. But he is not in-. terested in their creeds or the differences between them. All he asserts is that. "from end to end of Affica, a white man's honesty is rarer than diamonde or gold. But missionaries maintain a tradi- tion of its existence."

It was once the custom of the followers of Wordsworth and others to contrast the brutality of man with the serenity and splendour of Nature. My, Neving son found very little difference between them. His description, indeed," might have formed the foundation of his friend Mr. Galsworthy's fan play, "The Date Forest," "3ly feet were painfully poisoned by jizzers, ants, and all other insects that forment travellers on foot, so that at times the pain of long day's tramp was hardly endurable."
