"Those who care to attempt the task of finding out for themselves how England stands to-day will be helped by the Candid Impres sions' published in the 'National Review' by a German resident in this country."-Morning Post.

"No article in any of the magazines this month is likely to provoke more comment than the 'Candid Impressions of England' by an anonymous German resident, in the National Review.' That there is a good deal of truth in the article we are not prepared to deny, and criticism of this sort, however unpalatable, may be valuable and regenerative if conveyed by the right person and in the right spirit."-Spectator.

SOME PRESS COMMENTS
JULY

ON THE

NATIONAL REVIEW'

The "National Review " for July is a more than usually vigorous and versatile production. The "Episodes of the Month" are written with the breezy freshness and full knowledge which characterise all Mr. Maxse's writings. In these rapidly moving days it takes a gifted writer to make the political sayings and doings of a week ago interesting, but Mr. Maxse can do it, and despite the wealth of good material, his slashing assaults on Radicalism remain the outstanding feature of his review.-NORTHERN CHRONICLE.

There are several other excellent articles in the number, and the editor's "Episodes of the Month," in which he makes a trenchant attack on the new German Ambassador, on Lord Haldane, and on the Government, will be found characteristically pungent.

ABERDEEN JOURNAL. Among the July reviews, first place must be given to the "National" by reason of the first-class interest and importance of its contributions from Mr. Rudyard Kipling, Lord Charles Beresford, and Sir Joseph Lawrence, which, taken alone, make this number of an always interesting review specially worth having.

STANDARD OF EMPIRE. Adding to these the usual incisive notes on the "Episodes of the Month," it will be recognised that the bill-of-fare is comprehensive, varied, and suggestive.-LEICESTER POST.

Second to the usual brisk refreshing "Episodes of the Month," comes a remarkable contribution from Mr. Rudyard Kipling, "The Benefactors," being a dialogue in Hades regarding recent events in the industrial world.-WESTERN MAIL.

PRESS COMMENTS ON THE

JULY NATIONAL REVIEW'-continued

By the power of his imagination and his art of allegory Mr. Rudyard Kipling has taught many a lesson to us, and "The Benefactors," the latest as it is in some respects the most daring of his attempts to express in the form of a story the truths that are for all to understand, emphasises with rare power the Nemesis of democracy's arrogance.-GLOBE.

Mr. Rudyard Kipling is nothing if not outspoken and virile, but he has

seldom written a more daring contribution than "The Benefactors," which is assigned a leading position in "The National Review."

LEICESTER MAIL. It is sometime since we had anything, apart from a poem or two, from the pen of Mr. Rudyard Kipling. But now comes a contribution, to which pride of place is given in the July number of the "National Review," in the form of a grim piece of social satire, entitled, sarcastically, "The Benefactors." Those who admire originality and direct, virile expression, which is so marked a characteristic of Mr. Kipling's writings, should not miss reading in its entirety this remarkable article.-BIRMINGHAM GAZETTE.

M. André Chèradame contributes a striking article on the importance of co-operating finance and diplomacy, with a view to preventing the savings of the British and French peoples being used to subsidise their enemies.-OUTLOOK.

The question of the intrusion of politics into the pulpit is well discussed by a writer, Mr. Coulson Kernahan, in the July issue of the "National Review." The principel involved is of wide application. In a recent autobiography we read "Saw Labouchere, who was starting to lay the foundation-stone of a Primitive Methodist chapel. 'To such things,' he said, 'we are reduced at election times.'"

THE GUARDIAN. Mr. Coulson Kernahan denounces what he describes as the abuse of religion for political party purposes, and he will find many to share his view that the work of the ministry if it be faithfully done, is more than sufficient for the energies of one man.

ABERDEEN FREE PRESS. In the "National Review" for this month there is an article by Mr. Coulson Kernahan on " Politics in the Pulpit." Apparently he is of Robert Louis Stevenson's opinion, that "politics is the dirtiest, the most foolish, and the most random of human employments."

BAPTIST TIMES. Among the other articles is a delightful one "In defence of the Brown Rat," by Miss Frances Pitt.-SPECTATOR.

Miss Alma Tadema on "The Suffrage Danger" gives food for serious thought to the Mænads of the movement, if indeed they are capable of thought.-NORTHERN WHIG,
