Co - operative Congress, 1902. (Co-operative Union, Manchester.) —This is a Report
of the Congress held at Exeter in May last. The proceedings, speeches, &c., are given, and various statistics in which the extent of Co-operative work is set forth.—From the same publishers we have received Robert Owen: Unveiling Ceremony of the Co-operative Memorial at Newtown. This is an interesting account of the ceremony. The one survivor of the Owen circle, Mr. G. J. Holyoake, was present. It is noteworthy that a hand- some gift of rare flowers was sent by Sir Pryce Jones, lately a Conservative M.P. But "we are all Socialists now."—We have also received (same publishers) Inaugural Address, by Mr. G. Hawkins, J.P. A very sensible address it is, wholly free from the fault of irrelevance. Mr. Hawkins does not take the chance of airing his own views—de omnibus rebus of quibusdam aliis—but keeps strictly to his subject.
