Abstract
MR. LASKI has produced what is certainly the most comprehensive book on political theory that has appeared since the War. Written with all the knowledge and more than the authority displayed in Mr. Laski's earlier works, it is at once more human and more entertaining. Essentially moderate both in statement and suggestion, it insists on the difficulty of modern politics and scorns short cuts to the millennium as cloaks to disguise poverty of thought and devices to serve the ends of rhetoric; yet it succeeds nevertheless in conveying an urgent sense of the gravity of the situation.
A Grammar of Politics.
By Harold J. Laski. Pp. 672. (London: George Allen and Unwin, Ltd., 1925.) 18s. net.
