Localisations, and finally on the veritable nature of Reason. A philosophy
of Research is foreshadowed. The work offers a base on which all valid
studies may be co-ordinated, and developments are indicated. It
presupposes no technical knowledge, and the exposition is couched in
simple language. It will give a new impetus to Psychology.

EIGHT CENTURIES OF PORTUGUESE MONARCHY

BY V. de BRAGANCA CUNHA

_THE TRUTH ABOUT PORTUGAL_

This book reveals the series of causes, both political and social, which
have brought Portugal to its present condition and affected the character
of its people.

The entire history of Monarchical Portugal is reviewed in masterly
fashion, and the work is based on a thorough knowledge and critical

outsider, but as one who knows his country from within, and the book
therefore constitutes a serious attempt to tell the English-speaking world
the truth about Portugal.

The author knows that he treads "forbidden ground," but even where he
apportions the severest blame he does so in the conviction that adverse
criticism of any country, "however unpleasant it may be to all Chadbands
and Stigginses," cannot be considered abusive if it be made with the
intention of stirring up the forces of reform and of remedying the defects
which it discloses.

Although the subject of this AEsopian biography is drawn in such a way as
to suggest now one and now another familiar figure in modern life, yet
these fleeting and shadowy resemblances are in reality an indication of
the archetypal nature of Sir Edward; he is not a caricature but a symbol;
not any particular individual but a composite type--a materialisation into
one grotesque shape of the drifting ideas and false ideals of a muddled
civilisation.

The narrative gathers into its net both big and little fishes--a heavy
haul. But people who regard Western ci
