Lord Pam

THE TRIUMPH OF LORD PALMERSTON -B. Kingsley Martin -Dial Press ($3.50). The relations between the public and the press on the one hand and the press and the Cabinet on the other are the subjects of this book. Briefly, it tells of Lord Palmerston's dismissal by Lord John Russell, of his subsequent inclusion in the Cabinet of Lord Aberdeen, and his final triumph over the Pacifists. It shows how public opinion drove the country into war with Russia when war could have been avoided; and it tells how Lord Palmerston surged forward on the crest of a wave of public popularity.

It is difficult to say that the author has written well; it is far easier to say that he has done a thorough piece of editorial work.
