NEW EnrrioNs.—The Great Alternative, by Spenser Wilkinson (Constable and Co.,
68.), appears in anew edition, arranged so as to present more forcibly the author's contentions. We are glad to see that Mr. Wilkinson has secured a considerable audience. Whatever we may think of this or that detail, the fact remains that our posi- tion makes quite considerable demands upon us, and that these de- mands must be met if we are to hold our own.—In the "Unit Library" (Unit Library, Limited) we have History of the Bucca- neers of America, by James Burney (114d.) Our readers may be reminded that the name indicates that the price represents the size of the book, the measure being the "unit" of twenty-five pages. This volume is part of James Burners "Chronological History of the Voyages and Discoveries in the South Sea or Pacific Ocean." (James Burney was a brother of the author of "Evelina.")—Another new edition, revised and enlarged and brought up to date by the adding of the names of recent winners, is Royal Ascot : its History and its Associations, by George James Cawthorne and Richard S. Herod (Treherne and Co., 12s. 641. net).
