The Two Lost Centuries of Britain.

By Wm H Babcock

There is a time in the life of every nation when its history is clouded in a fog of uncertainty, when tradition and fact are closely allied and almost indistinguishable. It is usually that period which precedes the transitional time when the records are written in sand and punctuated in stone, and names and deeds must form the nucleus of historical sequence. In "The Two Lost Centuries of Britain," Mr. Babcock has invaded the realm of just such a period, a realm filled with all the glamour and attraction of poetical tradition. As he says, "This proved an arduous undertaking, but not without a charm." Mr. Babcock has given this charm to his work, and, although on its face research and care in sifting the materials at his command are evident, yet the effect of a well-directed imagination is everywhere shown. It is more of a literary picture than a chronological investigation. He begs not to be regarded as being contradictory from "incurable perversity," and says, "One would wish to stand well with the most reliable audience." He confesses that he owes much to "fancy and real tradition." The book is written in such a charming and literary style that the pleasure one derives from reading something unique is much enhanced.
