CORONEL AND THE FALKLANDS. By John Irving. (A. M. Philpot.

5s.)—This book, by a retired naval officer, is intended, it seems, as the forerunner to a film depicting the two battles. .Picturesquely written and close to actual fact, it can be definitely recommended. It has many of the qualities of a good boys' book.
