The Asquith Parliament, 1906 - 1909. By Charles T. King. (Hutchinson and

Co. 5s. net.)—This " Popular History of Men and Measures" is very personal, and entertaining, as personal writing always is in skilful hauls, whether it ought to be or not. We can recommend it as excellent reading ; it does not, we think, pretend to be mo: e. Let us hope that Mr. King will have to publish a very much revised edition in the near future.
