The Queen's Empire: a Pictorial and Descriptire Record.
Cassell and Co. 9s.)—This second volume completes the work. To those who are familiar with its predecessor it needs no commenda- tion. The photographs, which number about seven hundred in all, and in this volume more than four hundred (many of the pages contain two or more) are of the very best quality, and the range of their subjects is of the widest. Nothing could more forcibly present the extent and variety of the British Empire than this admirable work. No one who studies it can fail to rise up from his task with sorisething, of the Imperialist spirit in his heart. The places, often suggestively grouped, as Gibraltar and Vancouver, the varieties of tribe, the representation of postal and telegraphic industries, binding as they do these vast regions together, the impressive delinea- tions of naval and military force, these and scores of other things of which it is impossible to give any'idea, make up a series of the very greatest interest.
