The University of Louvain and its Library. By T. W.

Koch. (J. M. Dent and Sons. 6d. net.)—Mr. Koch, of the library of Congress, gives in this pamphlet a short account of the University of Louvain and of the deliberate destruction of its famous library by the Germans, with some particulars of the efforts that are being made here and in America to form a new library for the stricken University. The photographs of the ruins tell their own tale of German barbarism.
