Mis$ Margaret Irwin is a very experienced and reliable hand at teliing a story, and says modestly of her book that 'it is a portrait of him and somé of his contemporaries rather than a comprehensive life'. She has put a great deal of work into it and covers the story sympathetically and fully. It is a good fault to err on the side of sympathy for one's subject. Though not a növel, it is as readable as one. -a. l. rowse in the Broadsheet Vissza
