The Makers of Modern Italy. By J. A. R. Marriott.

(Macmillan and Co.)—This little volume contains three lectures delivered in the summer of last year to the University Extension students at Oxford. The " makers " are three,—Mazzini, Cavour, and Garibaldi. Mr. Marriott's highest praise is reserved for Mazzini; Int he does full justice to the other two, nor does he neglect the .claims to honour of a man immeasurably inferior in many ways to the three, Victor Emmanuel.
