THE OCTOBER MAGAZINES.
THE NINETEENTH CENTURY.
In the Nineteenth Century Lord Long, in "Why We Should Concentrate on the Empire," puts forward a plea for the closer unity of the British Empire for the purposes of trade. He sets out to prove, under various headings, that the supplies provided by the Empire are practically unlimited, and deals with the two objections sometimes brought against the scheme, that it implies interference with independent parts of the Empire, and that it would mean Government control of trade and industry. Lord Ernie deals with "Tudor Novels and Romances" in a study which is to be continued, and Dr. John Willis, in an article entitled "Is the Theory of Natural Selection Adequate ? " brings evidence to prove that the theory occupies at present a greater importance in the explanation of evolution than it deserves. Brigadier-General F. G. Stone discusses reduction of armaments as relating to our military position, and there is an article on unemployment from the point of view of a skilled labourer by Mr. Howard Little.
