Flags and their Story. By Galloway Kyle. (County Publishing Company,

Darlington. is.)—" The story of flags," says Mr. Kyle quite truly, "is the story of the world." He takes our national flags, beginning with the Royal Standard, and following the subject out into its byways, both of sentiment and utility,—we must not forget signalling flags in discussing the subject. This is an interesting book, which might be made, with sundry modifi- cations, a good school reading book.
