Shorter Notices

Finland. By J. Hampden Jackson. (Allen and Unwin. 8s. 6d.) FINLAND'S surrender in no way diminishes the interest felt here in that gallant country. There has for some years been one book—that by Mr. Hampden Jackson—to which every reader anxious for a clear, succinct and accurate review of Finnish history, with special reference to the most recent history, turned, or would have been well advised to turn. The new edition, just published, contains a short epilogue, recount- ing the early stages of the Russian invasion. The original matter remains as valuable as ever.
