ABSTRACT
The Independent Review for April (T. Fisher Unwin) contains an article on " Woman Suffrage," by the late G. J. Holyoake. It is an article which should be read, but we have only space for a short quotation. "To ask for things in reason, and only things which seem reasonable to others, is a policy of force. . . . . By asking for more than Parliament is likely to think reasonable, women run the risk of incurring substantial disadvantage. ·when, for instance, as some excellent women do now, they ask to be placed on an elephantine platform of 'adult' suffrage, whither men have . not climbed yet, they will not accomplish their ascent in a century."
