The Destitute Alien in Great Britain. Arranged and edited by

Arnold White. (Swan Sonnenschein.)—This is one of the volumes in" The Social Science Series," and deals with a subject on which Mr. Arnold White is an acknowledged authority. Mr. White has been assisted by various writers. Mr. C. B. Shaw goes back to a past time, and describes the "Huguenot and Flemish Invasion;" while Mr. Montague Crackanthorpe deals with .the question, "Should Government Interfere ? " a question which he answers very distinctly in the affirmative. It is, indeed, to be regretted that something has not been already done. Mr. Reaney enforces this view by his essay on "The Moral Aspect" of the case. The other essays are : "Statutory and Official Provisions," by Mr. C. J. Follett ; "The Imperial Aspect," by W. A. McArthur, M.P. ; " The Italian Aspect," by W. H. Wilkins; and "Foreign Pauper Immi- gration," by Mr. S. H. Jeyes.— Another volume belonging to the same series is The State and Pensions in Old Age, by J. A. Spender.
