Government of the United Kingdom : its Colonies and Dependencies.
Byealbert E. Hogan, LL.D. (W. B. Clive, 2s. 6d.)—This modest volume contains a great amount of information. There is a brief historical introduction; then comes an account of the two Houses of Parliament, with a paragraph on Convocation. After this we have a description of the legislative power, and of the actual processes by which it is set to work. Part III. describes the Executive, with a prefatory sketch of its history, and a chapter on the development of party. Part IV. is given to the Judiciary in the past, and as it exists in the present, in its two great depart- ments of civil and criminal justice. Part V. deals with local government. Finally, in VI. we have a summary of the relations between the Mother-country and (1) the Colonies, self-governing, Crown Colonies, Ac.; (2) India. The book is an excellent piece of work which should certainly be useful beyond its primary purpose of giving help to examinees.
