a correspondent in the London Observer stated:-It is probably true that the man-in-the-street has a less definite notion of Mr. Asquith's personality than of that of any front-rank politician. One reason for this is to be found deep in Mr. Asquith's character. Though he must, at any rate in his earlier years, have had ambi- tion, he is entirely devoid even of the innocent egoism which usually goes with the ambitious tempera mant. Ho fever dramatises him- self. His attitude towards his work, and, indeed, towards the whole of life is disinterested in the philosophic as well as the popular sense of the word. As was once gald of him by an intimate "he is unlike everyone else; he is only interested in what he is doing, never in how he is
