The Land of My Fathers. (Hodder and Stoughton. 2s. 6d.

net )—An influential Committee is providing extra comforts for the regiments raised in the Principality, and to aid its funds this "Walsh Gift-Book" has been compiled. We wish it all success. The selection of literature is wide, and includes prose and verse written either by Welshmen or by others upon Welsh subjects. It ranges from Geoffrey of Monmouth and Giraldus Cambrensis to Wordsworth, Gray, Peacock, Mrs. Hernans, and Mr. Lloyd George. The illustrations arc numerous ; among the best-known artists represented are Mr. Brangwyn and Mr. Augustus John. Music is also in evidence.
