Sir Horace Plunkett and hit Place in the Irish Nation.

By Edward E. Lysaght. (Maunael and Co. 2s. 6d. net.)—This little book is concerned more with Irish politics than with Sir Horace Plunkett, but it is temper- ately written, from a Home Ruler's standpoint, and emphasizes the value of the Co-operative movement to the Irish farmer. Mr. Lysaght amuses himself by outlining a programme for a Home Rule Parliament. It includes the compulsory teaching of Irish in all schools, except in Ulster, and bilingualism in official documents and the Courts.
