This book (H.M. Stationery Office ins. 6d.) is a most

useful compendium of information. In tills volume is assembled for the first time a detailed collection of the documents, where they exist, defining the constitutional organisation and frame- work of all the countries within the British Empire. The second volume of the work will contain similar material relating to Continental European countries and their dependencies. The volumes have been compiled by the Foreign Office and are designed to serve, in a practical and convenient form, as a manual to students of constitutional law in all countries, and at the same time as an authoritative work of reference. The first volume is well- and inexpensively produced.
