The. Roll of Honour of Carton House Printing Office, Dundee.
By John D. Mathew and James Mathew. (Dundee: James P. Mathew.)—This book illustrates the spirit in which Great Britain's manhood faced the war provoked. by Germany. It records the war experiences of nineteen men, employed in a Dundee printing office. All of them volunteered ; some had the greatest difficulty, through their extreme youth or their defective sight, in securing admission to the ranks. Four were killed, _Their narratives, simply told, remind us of the many countries in which British volunteers fought, and of the.unfailing cheerful- ness• with which they faced danger and discomfort,. in Flanders or. Gallipoli, in.Palestine or Macedonia. Any factory or workshop could produce a similar hook. That is the merit of this work; it is typical,. and not in any way exceptional. Messrs. Mathew are to be congratulated. on their roll of honour, which is most interesting and is well printed and illustrated.
