Contributors include Hilaire Belloc and Grand Duchess Marie of Russia. Will Dyson, onetime cartoonist of the Labor Party's Daily Herald, prints a scathing etching; Paul Banks reviews the drama, Storm Jameson, novels.

Hilaire Belloc is pretty sure that steamships and locomotives would be still figments of diseased imaginations if Louis XVI had escaped at Varenne's. Emil Ludwig gives a very interesting description of Germany if the Emperor Frederick had not died of cancer in 1888. Unfortunately he is unable to resist the temptation...
