SBaker Brownell's "Eàrtb Is Enough" is a great book-great in its basic cou- ceptions. in its insights, in the unique- niess-of itsliterary f ortn. And-. it is deeply religious, even wbite it- is de- structive of ch erished conventions. Why the author borrowed his title.f rom d ward Markham's poem. "Earth Is> ]Enough,' will appear only to those who reach- down through the> pages to the, funidamental philosophy from which the book, issues. ,Sùncb readers will remem-. ber that earth is. primitive, .tl,]j evitable, productiveof growth.. Most of us, like going to a new book expecting to bet shocked. Very 'well,: this book is thoroughly shocking. But also it is richly edifying to such as are ready for strong. mea t.- It is, so orig- inial thît the *careless might miss its deepertnieaning. ýThe genins Of Professor Browll shows nowhere more than in the stra 1nge and indescribable charm with whiek lie writes. The cotnments of critics on his The New Ijniverse: "Prose balanced ani reticent, but undeniably singing";, "alpoetry"; "electrification of learn- ing and beautification of ail things that it touches"; "merges document and poetry."* ail apply equally to this new volume.

Iaborer's lii e. He not only tells us about this fascinating and probably impossible design, and gives us some of the pages of the youthful notebooks. on, which 'it was to be, based.; lie also gives an accôunt of the practical diffi- ctîlties -of niaking a living. Much as one admires Mr. Williamnson's integrity of purpose, one feels 'that the fated fig- ures of Hardy, w'hether cr niot th ey exist in. reality, are better suited -to §o heautiful a background. B. ut this is only at first; as. onie reads, on, Mr. Williamison's deep love for bis icharacters soon commiun icates itself. He lias the' great gif t of. the gods so. in- sisted on by.the late C. E.

Very likely when one> hes read "As the Sun Shines" as often as one bopes to, every detail will in- deed be as vivid to us as to thie author.
