" Can Mr. Lloyd George lead into another promised land asked Lord Lothian in a balanced, care, fully critical introduction to this after so book." Can he long a contact with the com promises of public life, ean he re cover something of that aimple and direct vision which was his strength before and during the war."

...

Mr. Edwards is mainly concern- ed with that period before nad

on to the downfall of the Coalition, during the war, though in a few brief chapters he carries the story writes 3r, R. A, Scott James In the Sunday Times. He is not the first to attempt a life of Mr. Lloyd George. Like his predecessors, he has only partly succeeded. He has made no apparent effort to divest himself of partisanship. His merit lies in the nympathy of one. Welsh man for another, and his unbound. ad admiration for, his hero. If we are to read his book with full satis faction, we must be able to assume with him that the cottage-bred man," whose career he traces from the Carnarvonshire village to Downing Street, combined the re- solution and fervour of a Cromwell; the simplicity of a Lincoln, and all the saintliness which Hindoos ntiri. bute to Gandhi; and that he moved from one inspired success to another, without a mistake and without a fault.
