IN the first of this series of talks, last month,
Mr. Squire (the poet, essayist, and literary critic) talked of Byron. This time, his subject is Sir Philip Sidney-as different a typo as can be imagined, considerirg that, like Byron, he was a poet and an arisioorat who died in war. To the popular mind, Byron is tho type of the wicked nobleman amongst poets, as Sidney is of the scholar-gentleman. How much truth there is in this view will emerge from Mr. Squire's talk this afternoon.
