The Great War of 189 — . By Rear-Admiral P. Colomb, Colonel
J. F. Maurice, and others. (W. Heinemann.)—The second edition of this " Forecast " makes a not inopportune appearance. It was first published in December, 1892 ; the time that has passed since then has not, to say the least, diminished the probability of these conjectures. It is needless to do more than thus mention a work the character of which was fully discussed at the time of its first publication.---Another new edition is The Romance of an Empress, from the French of K. Waliskewski (same publisher). The author makes a curious apology for his heroine, though he does not venture on a "through thick and thin" defence. It has something of the character of that which Suetonius makes for Augustus. His vices were, in part at least, followed for the service of the State.
