From the Heart of the Veld. By Madeline Alston. (John

Lane. 38. 6d. not.)—This book gives an educated Englishwoman's impressions of life on the veld—apparently in the Eastern Transvaal—far away from a town or railway. Other Englishwomen who think of going with their men to South Africa after the war will find this unpretentious book interesting and on the whole encouraging.
