L-e. ll is a niaija/.ineof all the 



Hikes a lonleniperary is the 



many niindedness of its many authors. I'or the writer 

 of the notes and the sacred nine whose names appear 

 on the cover speak out loud and hold, ami individually. 

 \lr. John Egflinton, in his excellent article on "Irish 

 Hooks," refers to '"the impossible claims o\' the Gaelic 

 lanijuajfe." Mr. 1'. II. Pearse begins his "Specimens 

 from an Irish Antholog^y " with an excellent Gaelic poem, 

 accompanied by translation and note, which would 

 seem sufficient of itself to justify any claim. The writer 

 of the Notes, who looks forward hopefully to the future 

 i.-\\' the country, treats ol certain problems, and refers 

 with sympath}- to those who advocate a revival of Irish 

 tilla}j;-e. In an article further on we read — "The cry 

 ' Hack to the land ' is heard continually, but for one who 

 returns a thousand g^o away. The life which oflfers 

 most, which seems most intense and most alluring-, 

 wins ; and small holdings acts, peasant proprietorships, 

 and like remedial measures touch only the fringe o\' 

 the problem." This diversity of outlook and opinion 

 is good and full of promise. It proves and illustrates 

 the sincerity of the opening note of the Review — " The 



Irish Kiview will strive to speak for Ireland rather than 

 for any parly oi- coleiie in Ireland. Kmancipaled from 

 the tyranny o\' his parly and lifted above the llatlery oi' 

 his coleiie, the Irishman of action, study or letters may 

 utter himself here for the benefit \.A' his people and oi' 

 such others as may care to give attention." Of special 

 interest to all concerneil with economics and agricul- 

 ture will be tiie series of articles conlributeil by Mr. 

 George W. Russell on "The Problem of Rural Life,' 

 from the (irsl of which we have quoted above. l*"iction 

 is represented by tieorge Moore, with an excellent 

 short story ; criticism by Miss M. C Maguire, who 

 contributes a most original article on the works of Synge. 

 The art plate is a reproduction of an impish, puzzling, 

 characteristic picture by William Orpen, R.H.A. The 

 poets of the number, in verse and prose, are .Messrs. 

 Colum, Stephens and .MacDonagh, and Lord Dunsany. 

 They introduce us to Mad Patsy, an Afghan poet, a 

 Rom.in poet, and "'.Vlone the Immortfds." We have 

 availed ourselves of three of the introdiiclions to pay 

 frequent visits to certain pages. 'J'hc liislt Revie-H' is 

 a magazine to buy and keep. 



A Good .Manukial Drkssinc. for a Lawn.-Ii will 

 be in most cases advisable, at this season of the year, 

 to give a stimulating dressing to lawns and tennis 

 courts. The following mixture is recommended : — 

 Superphosphate of lime, 3 lbs.; bone meal, i^ lbs. ;
