mantle of the one fallen upon the shoulders of the other. 
" The question of right {droit)," said Frederick, when he was 
invading Silesia, " is the affair of the ministers," and, later, 
" the jurisprudence of sovereigns is commonly the right of 
the stronger." " When one has an advantage," he argued, 
in the strain of a modern chancellor, " is he to use it or not ? " 
Mr. Temperley describes him as fullilling Burke's idea of one 
of the " great bad men of history." But in domestic policy 
he had the judgment to see that the interests of his people 
were identical with his own, and he aimed at an impartial 
administration of justice and religious freedom. As a 
diplomatist, he understood — as Bismarck understood — that 
an enemy must be isolated and allies must be found. His 
successor to-day can more easily imitate his hardness, his oppor- 
tunism, and his Spartan pose than his diplomatic talent or his 
administrative genius. Frederick the Great left an " adminis- 
trative machine " ; he could not bequeath his genius. 
Mr. Temperley's book is not a mere piece of research, 
carrying on in pedestrian spirit the task which Carlyle left 
incomplete. It is a vigorous, clearly thought out, brilliantly 
written study of Germany and Austria during a period of 
transition, at a time when two striking personalities, Frederick 
and the Kaiser Joseph, " made things hum " in central Europe. 
"The New Map of Europe, 1911-1914: A Study of 
Contemporary European National Movements and 
Wars." By H. A. Gibbons, Ph.D. (Duckworth.) 
6s. net. 
It is interesting to invert the role of the prophet and see 
what we ought to have seen, that events of recent years were 
leading us straight to the war. The German temperament, 
the expanding industries of Germany, her desire to found 
colonies, the French claims to Morocco, the temporary 
Algeciras settlement, the Agadir incident, the closing of 
Persia by the Russo-British agreement, the check to Austro- 
German ambitions in European Turkey by the successes of 
Bulgaria, Servia, and Greece — these are some of the main 
factors which Dr. Gibbons reviews with some knowledge and 
detachment. He is a clever American, who has been travelling 
about in Europe and the Near East since igo8, arriving 
dexterously on the scene wherever politics, revolution, or war 
promised him a tourist's diversion. His book is particularly to 
be commended in that it is one of the first to give full promin- 
ence to the supremely important part which the Near East 
has played not only in precipitating but in causing the war. 
"The Influence of King Edward, and Essays on Other 
Subjects." By Viscount Esher. (Murray.) 7s. 6d. net. 
Lord Esher can speak with authority about the lives and 
personalities of Queen Victoria and King Edward. He 
dispels certain favourite popular illusions. King Edward's 
death was not hastened by the political crisis of igog. He 
did not " mould the foreign pohcy of his country." He did 
not initiate or plan the Triple Entente. " He always recog- 
nised that to initiate the policy of Great Britain was the 
business of Ministers for the time being, and his function was 
to criticise or approve it, and finally to support it with all 
his powers." He was genuinely a friend of the German 
Emperor, and believed in his desire for peace, but he shared 
the general view that the Navy and Army should be kept as 
strong as possible. Lord Esher eulogises, with the necessary 
formality, his tact, charm, and talent, but speaks more freely 
about his youth and education. He quotes in full a docu- 
ment which should be imperishable — the Memorandum 
issued " for the guidance of the gentlemen appointed to 
attend on the Prince of Wales," the most delightful part 
being a description of " the qualities which distinguish a 
gentleman in society." 
The other essays in this book are of less value, but those 
referring to national defence are instructive as representing 
the usual Conservative view current before the war. 
DURING Wi^R 
The materials are still lacking for a complete scientific 
account of any period of the war. But preliminary judgments 
can be formed ; preliminary history, even, can be written. 
In the West a first distinct phase of the war came to an end 
with the retreat of the Germans before Paris and their assump- 
tion of a defensive position on the hues of the Aisne. Anything 
up to this point is sufficiently distant to form the subject 
matter of preUminary history.
