REVIEW OF REVIEWS. 



209 



it were not linked to the present 

 trouble in Euroi)c. The interest 

 is immediate and continued ; the 

 characters, spies and plotters, tlie 

 lady and her two lovers, Draga 

 and her servants are all life-like 

 The chapter in which the assas- 

 sination of the King and Queen 

 is described, and the episode in 

 •which Colonel Slana, a dehauchoe 

 and a liar, fights and heroically 

 dies in defence of Draga is very 

 realistic. 



Harry the Cochne)/. By Edwin 

 Pugih. (T. Werner" Laurie. 

 6s.) 



A remarkable book packed with 

 humour and shrewd observation, 

 giving us a picture of the men- 

 tality of the son of a barber in 

 a slum neighbourhood in London. 

 The author, in the person of 

 "Harry the Cockney," says that 

 in every other station of life " the 

 boy " is described, but as these 

 boys are totally alien to him he 

 thinks it would be good to de- 

 scribe his own thoughts and feel- 

 ings. Harry Weaver becomes a 

 K.C. and M.P., marries a charm- 

 ing little wife, and has bright 

 children, but remains lonely to 

 the end, feeling still a pariah. 



Who's Who (A. and C. Black.) 

 Is largely increased in size as well 

 as in price, so that it will no 

 longer fit in height the long line 

 of its fixty-four predecessors. In 

 widtili it has been rapidly increas- 

 ing for many years. It is diffi- 

 cult to find a solitary person of 

 eminence who has not some re- 

 cord in its pages, the record clos- 

 ing, however, with August 31, 

 1912. It would be interesting to 

 know the principle of selection ; 

 why, for instance, should Mr. Fisk 

 Crafts get 4^ inches of notice, 

 and Lloyd George only one inchr' 

 A careful analysis of ,the book 

 would be amusing ; the notice ot 

 "Gyp," for instance, is in her 

 own language. The Writers (iml 

 Artists' Year Book (price Is. net) 

 maintains its former higli charac- 

 iter of usefulness, and, togotlu'i' 

 with the English Women's Year 

 Book, forms a valuable adjunct to 

 the book-shelf. The latter ('2-. 

 6d. net) maintains its usual elli- 

 ciency. It is, of coui-se, ini])(>,s- 

 sible to have such a volume (]iiite 

 faultless, but it would really he 

 very difficult to pick a hole in it. 

 The Women's Sufl'rage Movement, 

 of course, is well noticed.
