Where Black Meets White. By Gertrude A. T. Frere. (Univer-

sities Mission to Central Africa. ls. 6d.)—This is a "little history," —i.e., a history adapted to the needs of young readers of the work of the Universities Mission. Miss Frere acknowledges her obligation to Miss Anderson-Morshead, who has told the story at length, and, we are glad to find, with much acceptance. This little book may be warmly recommended. It has the advantage of some vigorous illustrations of various kinds, from the frontispiece, which shows us the church built on the site of the now disused slave market, down to the sketches of little darkies playing at football, a game which, we are told, they very much affect, or learning their ABC.
