SOME BOOKS OF THE WEEK.
Intics in this C01111111 does not ?woos:lei:2 pr.o13.1s ssisozzve fith State Purchase and Control of the Drink Trade.—Wo are glad to see that the excellent series of letters by Sir Thomas Whittaker, setting forth the policy of State Purchase of the Drink Trade, which originally appeared in the Daily Chronicle, have been reproduced in pamphlet form (Daily Chronicle, Id.). The first article is entitled " Why," the next " How— Conditions of Purchase," and a third " Method of Control." This deals with such matters as hotels, clubs, grocers' and other licences. Tho last two articles deal one with " Finance " and the other with "Some Objections of Temperance People." Taking it as a whole, the pamphlet is clear in style and moderate and reasonable in its general attitude.
