Mr. DESMOND MACCARTHY : ' Old Ballads'
The ballad is literally the earliest form of popular poetry. It is essentially a narrative poem of communal, not individual, authorship, handed down from generation to generation by oral tradition. The ballad ceased to be made after the fifteenth century and the invention of printing, but it offers the modern reader many examples of refreshing simplicity and of plain' stories told in swinging, simple motre.
A Dramatic Postscript to the Dreyfus Affair
By JEAN-JOSEPH RENAUD
The Last Watch summarizes with masterly economy the spiritual drama of the Dreyfus case. The action takes place in Paris, in 1902, at the time of Emile Zola 's funeral. The great novelist had done much to arouse public opinion in France against the manifestly unjust confinement of the Jewish officer Dreyfus to Devil's Island. The Last Watch is preceded by The Fourth Man, in which the snobbishness of keeping up appearances is neatly and amusingly exploited.
