Sir James Jeans ranks 'among 'the most able writers striving.to keep men: and women abreastof the twentieth' century, and his "The Mysterions Uni- verse,"' "The Stairs in Their Courses" and five other books are now. follow ed by "The New, Background of -Sci- ence."

At the same time 'he possesses a vocabulary éntirely within the grasp of a bigli scbool graduate and ascends no biglier in the intellectual plane than an assumption of a few of the simplest fundamentals in algebra. But progressive as the author is. about science, it is amfusing to see he stili clings to tbe old-fashioned "e"_ spelling of the word "sbew."

Tbey are Victorian, but the business pro- ceeds quite as systematically as- in earlier days or 'as ýat present; the terminology. only is encased, in. the years 1838-43.: The. couple. were cousins, John three years. older than Maria; they married wben the. former was twenty- five, after nearly ten years of court- ship;. shortly after their. third anni- versary-Maria died, leaving two chul- dren. In the letters are revealed a charming girl and flot inexpert letter writer, and the usual boy, rather un- wortby 'of her in ways not common-q place., The oùtside world is delicately thongh slightly reflected; the 'inner world apparent, but -chastened by a wardrobe of verbiage, ini ber case at least quite prètty. The drama lies in the indirectness of tbe exchange. They do not love-that is reserved for the ý-future-but they talk about love and about themselves; they botb read Byron and Bulwer; the girl is Tory and Churcli of England, the 'boy Liberal and Unitarian; lie wrote to her "That yon personally received any pleasure from anotber's kisses I neyer, even before receiving your assurance- to the contr.ýry, for a moment thonglit."

Wben 'the narne "Buch- manism" fits so perfectly its origin and leadership it is difficuit to under- stand wby it is so violently repudi- ated by the group.
