The New Europe. Vol. I. (Constable and Co. 7s. Gd.

net.)—Many people will be glad to -know that this scholarly and independent weekly review of foreign polities is to be reissued in bound volumes. The- first volume extends from October 19th last to January 11th, and- contains much valuable matter and a striking coloured map of " The Pan-German Plan as Realized by War " which gives one furiously to think. The New Europe excites controversy almost every week, but it is doing excellent work in promoting an interest in foreign politics.- Had the British public paid closer attention to the affairs of Eastern. Europe,- the war would not have taken us so completely by surprise.
