RAYMOND (12 S. vi. 131). It may be of some help to your inquirer to know of Arthur Raymond who died about 1835, at his house in Norfolk Street, Park Lane, and was owner or tenant of the Manor House Ealing, which was subsequently occupied

by Sir Spencer Walpole. For many years- previously, Arthur Raymond had lived at Huntercombe House, near Maidenhead, be- longing to the Duke of Buckingham. He had also apartments in Kensington Palace and was allowed to pass them on to his sister-in-law, who occupied them until she had to give them up to the Duchess of Inverness. Arthur Raymond for many years had been Receiver of Salt Duties for Ireland, a sinecure office of considerable emolument and may possibly also have been for sometime previously Secretary to the Admiralty. His patron was the Earl of Westmorland. He died without issue, and. his property passed to a Mrs. Bray.

Life and Labour in the Nineteenth Century, By C.. R. Fay. (Cambridge University Press, 1 net.)

IN this book Mr. Fay gives us the substance of lectures given at Cambridge last year to students of economics, among whom were naval officers and men belonging to the American army. The character of the work as intended for oral delivery, and obviously reacted upon by the audience has been. retained. The style is simple and very straight- forward ; the treatment of the great number of questions involved rapid and summary ; and in achieving as he does a comprehensive outline of the social and industrial movement of the last cen- tury, it is clear that the author has accomplished what he meant. He must, we think, have been successful in whetting his hearers' appetite for more detailed information. Not that the work as it stands is lacking in that respect. On the contrary an excellent feature in it is what, relatively to the extent of ground to be covered may be called a wealth of detail, skilfully chosen and the more to be valued because each item carries with it a care- ful note of its source. The quotations are always telling and humorous and the examples chosen sometimes unforgettable, as, for example, the watch- makers of Prescot who, as late as 1871, were being paid in watches or the miners of Northumberland who persisted in reading Plato's ' Republic ' and drew trom a Commissioner the amusing comment that this was " principally for the socialism and communism it contains"; in pure ignorance, of course, that Plato himself subsequently modified his principles, and that Aristotle showed their fallacy and self -destructive nature upwards of 2,000 years ago.

The sentence from Sombart which is set before us as a praiseworthy attempt to detine Socialism does not strike us as having much to recommend it considered as a definition whereby a good opportunity has been missed. Anyone who should hit off a good definition of Socialism having regard to the historic content of the word as Mr. Fay suggests would be doing a considerable minor service.
