A General Sketch of Political History from the Earliest Times.
By Arthur D. Innes. (Eivingtona. 6s.)—Mr. Innes seems to have done his work well; anyone who masters the manual which he has given us will have made a fair start in historical study. It may seem unreasonable to speak of omissions where a writer has to put four or five thousand years into less than a tenth of that number of pages ; still, we should like to have seen in a "political history" something about a subject of capital importance, the working of the party system in Greek polities.—In A Short History of Europe (Medieval), by Charles Sanford Terry, M.A. (G. Routledg•e and Sons. 3s. 6d. net), the author makes a speciality of working out the connection of Britain with European history. It is an import.- ant matter and has been well handled here.
