1926 BOOK REVIEW 255

United States Senate voted to adhere, with

reservations, to the Court. These books, how

ever, and many more on the same general

topic, will be needed for a long time to come,

in order that our people may understand the

practical and theoretical working of the

machinery of international justice.

BROTHERHOOD IN BROwNING. By Maude A.

Price. Pp. 116. Torch Press, Cedar

Rapids, 1925.

So broad a man as Browning could scarcely have written at all without interpreting a

large ideal of brotherhood. It would seem,

therefore, to be an endless task to isolate

that topic from the main stream of his work.

It pervades them all, directly or by infer

ence.

Miss Price, however, in her essay has

selected portions of some 42 poems and classi

fied the expressions of brotherly attitudes

and their opposites. To get the best results

from the study, whole poems should be read

in conjunction with the brief quotations given as examples ; otherwise one seems to have

been reading a mere catalog. In these days of scorn of the "mid-Vic

torian," it is, by the way, refreshing to find

in Miss Price's introduction allusions to

Kingsley, Morris, Toynbee, and others, as

well as Browning, who were influences in

co-operative social movements, those move

ments which we are prone to claim for more

recent times.

THE PATHWAY OF PEACE. By Charles Evans

Hughes. Pp. 329. Harper & Bro., New

York, 1925. Price, $4.00.

The years 1920-1924, during which these

addresses were delivered, were years very

significant in the construction, slow but in

evitable, of that highway leading to a peace

ful world. Mr. Hughes prefers to designate his efforts in that direction as a pathway. To the seeing eye, they are firmer, wider, better paved than the traditional path.

The part which this large-minded states

man took in the laying out of an approach

toward peace is not entirely indicated in

these addresses. Yet the speeches do re

view the outstanding questions which came

into the range of the Department of State

during those four years. They are the work

of a trained legal mind ; a mind, too, which

kept in close touch with the eager longing of common, lay folk for a kinder and better

regime in the world.

The addresses are classified topically in the

book. First, are those speeches dealing with

foreign policy-limitation of naval arma

ment, Russia, the permanent court, and the

Dawes plan.

Next, are four, dealing with Pan-American

policy, including that important address

upon the codification of American interna

tional law.

Part three contains four legal addresses

given in this country and in England. The last division is miscellaneous in

contents ; but even in the historical speeches, such as that upon Roger Williams, the habit

of mind, which looks upon principles and in

stitutions in the light of equality and peace ful methods is always evident.

One of our greatest Secretaries of States, Mr. Hughes' manner of thought has always been in the line of righteous peace.

THE ELIZABETHAN HOME, DIscovEin IN Two

DIALoGuEs. Hollyband and Erondell.

Edited by St. Clare Byrne. Pp. 95. Fred

erick Etchells & Hugh Macdonald, London, 1925. Price, 2/6.

The method of teaching language in con

versation about every-day things is by no

means a new one. Some time about 1568 a

certain Frenchman, who translated his name

as Hollyband, set up a school in England where he taught French. Since he could

find only "thornie and unapt bookes," he

wrote his own texts. He used the dialogue form in order to accustom the pupil to "the

true phrase of the language" and printed the left-hand page in English, the right in

French. It is the English text which is re

produced in this book.

The interest for us, of course, is that we

really seem to get, here, chat such as any

middle-class school-boy might have heard at

home, on the street, and at school. The pic

tures, therefore, are such as no other Eliza

bethan author gives, of the simple, often

jovial details of daily life in that day. Of the second author, Erondell, less is

known than of Hollyband. But his system of

instruction is the same. He evidently con

sidered it a continuation of that of the earlier

teacher. His clientele was apparently made
