Maude, Aylmer. The Doukhobors. $1.50. Funk.
Mr. Maude, who made the arrangements with the Canadian government which led to the migration of the Doukhobors to Canada, and who thru his keen sympathy with the work of Tolstoi was early drawn into a close study of this peculiar people, is especially fitted to write such a work. It contains a history of the Doukhobors, and traces their connection in the past with the Lollards, Anabaptists, Quakers and other sects. It also gives a vivid account of their migration to Canada, and of the famous “pilgrimage” in 1902, which was finally checked by the Canadian government. The author finds in the waywardness of so strange a sect, in their lack of appreciation of the favor granted by the Canadians, a proof that Tolstoi, sincere and earnest and far-seeing as he is, is yet not infallible in point of judgment. Incidental to his account of “The Christian commune of universal brotherhood” Mr. Maude also takes a stand for individual ownership of property. The book, he says, is a public apology for his having helped, however unwillingly, to mislead the Canadian government as to the nature and religion of the people he has settled among them.

“To Mr. Elkinton’s book that of Mr. Maude may justly be looked upon as a pendant.”
