“It is no engaging picture of our American war mind that Mr Stearns paints, and twenty months ago it would have been hotly resented by the great majority of our people. That the average man of intelligence is likely to find himself mainly in agreement with it now (although he may hesitate to admit the fact, even to himself) is the best evidence that the picture is essentially true.” F: A.

“As a volume of broad discussions, enriched by much reflection on books and events, and by brilliant insight into motives, this book is a success. Yet as an ordered analysis of the basic problem of liberty the book fails, and its chief value will be lost unless it becomes the starting point of a much needed discussion.” G: Soule

STEBBING, EDWARD PERCY. Diary of a sportsman naturalist in India. il *$5 Lane 799
20–22627
This diary is published with a purpose. The author says: “The sporting anecdotes and material selected from my note-books, which form the greater part of the book, are designed to lead up to and emphasize the necessity which exists of affording an adequate protection to the game and other animals of India.” (Preface) The book is in two parts: Sport in the big game jungles of India; and Game protection and the provision of sanctuaries for the preservation of the Indian fauna. There are illustrations from photographs and sketches by the author and others.
“He describes his experiences fairly graphically, although, after a few pages, we have too much confidence in his shooting to be seriously alarmed for him.”
