(Gresham Publishing Company. 16s. net each.)—In this new edition of a popular and useful book, Mr. Hope Moncrieff has revised his historical references so as to include last year's events. Professor Lyde has added compact notes on the commerce and vital statistics of the countries described. The photographs are numerous and excellent ; t hey give a good idea of the national costume and the character- istic scenery in each country. There are also some capital maps. The first two volumes arc devoted to Europe, and are distinctly readable. There will be eight volumes in all.
