The English Review.

“The Unmarried Mother” is, perhaps, the most important article in the August English Review. Its author is Mrs. W. M. Gallichan. It is ably written and full of humanity. But one wonders, after all, if the disadvantages of illegitimacy can be done away with as the writer suggests. The sins of the parents ought not to be visited upon the children, but all through life they are, and Nature will always have her way in the long run! Mr. Norman Douglas contributes an informing and entertaining article on “Southern Saintliness.” Mr. Alister [sic] Crowley contributes some clever “Chants Before Battle.” There is another of Henri Fabre’s delightful (though sometimes awful) entymological articles—this time on “Parasites.” The editor's article on Ulster would be well worth reading if the great War had not snowed all other politics under.
