Messrs. Duckworth have issued a number of pamphlets ccn- taining
short studies of great subjects by well-known writers (2s. each). Professor Spenser Wilkinson in British Aspects of War and Peace deals with the freedom of the seas, with the League of Nations, and with army organization in the near future. Mr. J. A. R. Marriott writes well on Syndicalism, and Professor Jenks on Law. Professor F. S. Boas contributes an interesting Introduction to the Reading of Shakespeare. Dr. Farrell com- presses much learning into an Outline History of Greek Religion, Dr. B. W. Henderson discusses in a spirited fashion some aspects of The Study of Roman Hietory, and Canon Burroughs deals in a most attractive essay with The Latin Culture. Mr. Falconer Madan, the late Bodley's Librarian, gives an account of the history and principal contents of The Bodleian Library at Oxford, the largest and most important university library in the world and the ninth, in size, of the world's great libraries, which are headed, of course, by the British Museum. Mr. Madan's pamph- let contains many facts that are not generally known even to habitual readers in the Bodleian.
