THE FORTNIGHTLY REVIEW.
THE principal feature of this month's Fortnightly is Mr. George Moore's "Apologia pro Scriptis Meis," in which we find Mr. Moore exhibiting his customary blend of blameless sim- plicity and whimsical humour. He describes how he set out with all the enthusiasm of youth to free English fiction "from the apron strings of Mudie and Smith." In conformity with this ideal he actually bearded Mr. Mudie himself in his den. "I will wreck this big house of yours, Mr. Mudie ! ' I cried ; and seeing me look round the room, and judging me to be measuring the strength of the architecture, a faint smile lighted up his face for a moment. . . ." Articles of topical interest are "Constantinople and International Peace," "The Turkish Nationalist Movement," by Mr. Clair Price, and "The Futuro of Austria," by Mr. Ellis Barker, while Sir Frederick Pollock writes on "The Foundations of Moral Education."
