We have already reviewed at length one of the four
new Volumes in the "Home University Library" and Norgate, Is. net each), Mr. John Bailey's delightful criticism of Milton. The remaining three, which we must pass with a mere mention, are hardly lees interesting. Mr. R. C. K. Ensor's Belgium is much more than a topical study upon that unfortunate country. Political Thought in England from Herbert Spencer to the Present Day is the title of an effective analysis of the work of such men as Bradley, Bosanquet, Cobden, and Green by Mr. Ernest Barker. Lastly, Mr. Clement Webb's History of Philosophy gives a clear account of the chief schools both of the ancient and modern world, and ought to be a valuable complement to Mr. Russell's Problems of Philosophy in the same series.—Half-a-dozen additions have also been made to "The People's Books" (T. C. and E. C. Jack, 6d. net each), all of them of a topical character. They include Germany, by W. T. Waugh; Belgium, by Frank Maclean ; and The British Army of To-day, by Captain A. H. Atteridge.
