The Army Annual. Edited by Major B. F. S. Baden-Powell.

(The Army Press. 7s. 6d.)-There is no doubt but that this "Annual, Year-Book, and Almanack " supplies a want. We may summarise the contents of the volume. First is a conspectus of "Entrance Regulations" (for the Military College, the Military Academy, &c.) Then comes a detailed statement, occupying more than a hundred pages, of Mr. Haldane's Territorial scheme. After this we have papers on "Manoeuvres and Campaigns of the Year," "An Army in the Field," "India" (3), "Aerial Naviga- tion" (by the editor), "Military Inventions of the Year," details of pay, lists of officers, the Victoria Cross, books of the year, &c., Army Estimates, recruiting, &c. This is a very useful volume.
