England in Egypt. By Lord Milner. (Arnold. 85. 6d. net.)

—This is the thirteenth edition of Lord Milner's well-known book. It was first published in 1892, and the text has not been altered since then, though historical appendices have been added. Lord Milner in a new preface insists that "the establishment of Egypt as an independent State in intimate alliance with Great Britain, so far from being a reversal of the policy with which we set out, would be the consummation of ft." Whether the time has come for that is, he admits, another question.
