The new number of History, the quarterly journal of the

His- torical Association (Macmillan and Co., ls. net), contains an in- structive article by Sir Paul Vinogradoff recalling bygone " Troubled Times in Russian, History " as an incentive to hope in Russia's future. In the interesting series of " Historical Revisions " Pro- fessor J. W. Neill puts the case for Warren Hastings against Macaulay's very unfair and inaccurate essay, and Professor Pollard examines the difficult question as to when the House of Commons first sat apart from the House of Lords.
