A History of Great Britain. By E. M. Wilmot-Buxton. (Methuen

and Co. 3s. 6d.)—Mr. Wilmot-Buxton, already favourably known as the author of various historical books, gives us a useful com- pendium, illustrated with maps, of English history from the "coming of the Angles to 1870." It might have been as well to give a more definite idea of the racial differences of the invaders from the east. We gather that the Jutes occupied Kent, but no notice is taken of their settlement in the Isle of Wight.
