Book Notes and News

Curiosity grows in the London book world as to how, and when, we shall get the biography of King Edward. Sir Sidney Lee wrote a notable memoir of him in the last published volume of the Dictionary of National Biography." It was understood that King George's approval of it was also critical, and that he expressed his willingness to put King Edward's papers at the disposal of Sir Sidney Lee for a full biography. No more advanced news is available, and hence the curiosity because any authoritative book about King Edward will be of the first importance.
