And yet in dealing with the amusements of London you cannot get over the war, for, as in the world of books, it has checked for the time being all efforts at new productions and made the managers fall back on plays that have already seen service. 1 hus in the Strand ...
... The Late John Ruskin Poet Critic, and Political Economist. The world seems the poorer to-day for many of us through the death of John Ruskin, whose seventy volumes of prose and verse have been a great gospel to two generations.

... London, 24th January, igoo. The event of the month in literature, at a time when literature is necessarily uneventful, is un questionably the passing of James Martineau. I once heard a discussion in a very orthodox circle, in which it was held with considerable emphasis, that Unitarians were not rightly to be considered Christians, and were deserving of less toleration than Agnostics ...
