Not illustrated. 1904 Excerpt: ...barrackroom ballads, here called "service songs." The exceedingly clever parody of Mr. J. A. Macy in the January "Critic" admirably if irreverently sums up the "five nations,"--"There's the Briton who lives at home And the Briton who lives abroad The Briton at sea, and God, and me--. Three Britons, and me, and God." Adverse criticism of this kind has often been made, though never so happily phrased. But the fact remains that "The Five Nations," though with one or two exceptions it contains no poems in the higher sense of the word, is a work of literature, if we are to understand literature as the sincere, clear and forcible expression of a people's ideas and ideals. That Mr. Kipling is in perfect sympathy with the dominant public opinion not only of Great Britain but of the entire English-speaking world, and that he can phrase that opinion better than any contemporary, is evident in verses like "The White Man's Burden" and "The Truce of the Bear." That he is a leader as well as an interpreter of thought is exemplified in "The Lesson," with its final word in regard to the Boer war, --"We have had an Imperial lesson; it may make us an Empire yet!" His attitude toward life and politics may be distasteful to many; it may be wrong; but to understand the last decade of the nineteenth century it must be known. And even if only occasional lines of his work seem to be inspired poetrv, he is the only writer of verse who reflects the life of his time with individual literarv power. E. B CONTENTS.
