The Polish Review. Vol. I., No. 1. Edited by J.

II. Harley. (Allen and Unwin. 2s. net.)—As a help to the understanding of the Polish question, seen from the Polish standpoint, this new quarterly review should be useful, all the more because it is moderate in tone and well. written. The editor in his introductory paper attaches importance to the German offer to Poland because- it has led, hi his opinion, to the fate of Poland becoming a European and international problem. nitro Heuryk Woroniecki describes the persistent but vain efforts of Pruaeis, to denationalize her Poles. Another writer reminds us of Napoleon's saying, at St. Helena, that " the future of Europe really depends on the ultimate destiny of Poland," meaning that a great and historic people cannot be permanently divided and deprived of full liberty.
