The Mohammadan Dynasties. By Stanley Lane - Poole. (A. Constable and Co.)—This

is a book of "Chronological and Genealogical Tables with Historical Introductions." The regions into which it takes us are often such as are known to very few. The chief headings are : "The Caliphs," "Spain," "North Africa," "Egypt and Syria," "Arabia Felix," "Syria and Mesopotamia," "Persia and Transoxiana," "The Seljuks," "The Mongols," and "India and Afghanistan." The use of the volume for reference is manifest.
