A. Pioneer of Imperial Federation in Canada. By Sir Frederick

Young, K.C.M.G. (George Allen. Is. 6d.)—This is an interesting book, and worth careful study. That the bond between the Mother-country and the Colonies will, or indeed ought to, take the form of "Imperial Federation" is more than we should like to affirm. This does not hinder us from appreciating the work which such men as Sir F. Young have done and do for the whole Empire. This volume derives additional attractions from the series of portraits of Canadian statesmen with which it is illustrated.
