The Annual Register, 1903. (Longmans and Co. 18s.)—There is nothing
new to be said about the Annual Register, because, though the reason may have a somewhat paradoxical appearance, there is so much that is new in its contents. To review what we read here about politics, home and foreign, about books, about men, would be to go over all the questions that were discussed during last year. We can but say what we have said more than once before, that this summary of the year's history, political, social, and literary, is very well done ; that there is a good sense of proportion in it ; that the general result is eminently satisfying. We note that the editor has thought it well to enter his caveat against accepting all the opinions on the South African labour question expressed by the author of the article, Mr. Whales.
