Professor Perry, we learn, is illogical, prejudiced, engagingly naive, and delicately obscure. The reviewer makes the familiar assertion that large armies cause war, but offers no argument, historical or philosophical, to support it. How he explains the long peace in Europe between 1871 and 1914, whether he thinks Belgium was militaristic and Switzerland unarmed, or whether he similarly holds that umbrellas are the cause of rain, we do not know; but he scorns Professor Perry...
