Political Caricatures. By Sir F. Carruthers Gould. (E. Arnold. 6s.)—"

F. C. G." needs no commendation. Keen, vigorous, good- humoured, with the rarest possible exceptions, he is all that a political caricaturist should be. Political, of course, ho is and must be. Here is the only drawback. We are quite prepared to see one set of dogs or another get the worst of it ; but there should be something of turn and turn about if a book of this kind is to be thoroughly enjoyed. And no one can deny that " C.-B." and his people have made some ludicrous blunders and

surrenders.
