The Annual Register, 1906. (Longmans and Co. 18s.)—We have nothing
to say about the Annual Register that we have not said in one way or another many times before. The method on which it is worked is familiar, and this is carried out with the accuracy and completeness which we are accustomed to expect. We may point, however, to the narrative, in the section "Russia," of the proceedings of the Duma (pp. 317-24). This connected story of what we have hitherto read in fragme nts from the daily newspapers is most instructive. But there is not a section which will not be found to contain something that in all probability has escaped the notice of the average reader. Here is a curious item from Luxemburg. The Chamber passed a law by which vaccination was made compulsory at the age of one year, and revaccination at eleven, and—" the Catholic party opposed it as an interference with individual liberty." We wonder whether our anti-vancinationists feel encouraged or not.
