Evolution of the Dominion of Canada. By Edward Porritt. (Harrap.

7s. 6d. net.)—Mr. Porritt's short history of Canada, with a full account ef the Dominion system of government, is a valuable handbook, which will be found useful for reference. He does not consider very fully the relations between the Dominion and the Provinces, which do not fall within the plan of the book, but he gives a good general idea of Canadian polities and the traditions and cross-currents which affect them.
