The Irish agricultural labourers can become guildsmen because they would like to become peasants. They think of rich and poor in the manner that is as old as the world; the manner of Ahab and Naboth. It matters little in a peasant society whether Ahab takes the vineyard privately as Ahab or officially as King of Israel. It will matter as little in the long run, even in the other...

The Young Physician FRANCIS BRETT YOUNG Author of Marching on Tanga, etc. The Young Physician is the history of the formative years of a boy who, after leaving one of our public schools, decides more from force of circumstances than from inclination to enter the medical profession.
