THE WILSON DIARIES.
Sir Henry Wilson was a man of moods and extremes—that is part ol the fascination of his volumes. But inevitably from time to time he made entries in his diary when in a state of tension or under the stress of some explosive event or emotion that he would hardly have given to the world without modification some years later. It is always a ticklish business when a man very much behind the scenes starts keeping a diary. It becomes a quite hazardous affair—hazardous, at any rate, to those who survive him—when lie dies before having any opportunity to revise what was'often dashed off without reflection and sometimes without adequate knowledge.. Mr I.loyd George was justified in correcting tin rather damaging impression that certain passages in the diary of his old colleague could not ■ help leaving.— “The Sunady Times.”
