An amusing parody which does not emirate its satire to

the " outlinist," but makes quiet sport of many aspects of very contemporary life. Among the articles are a graphic history of the Great War by the Rt. Hon. Wunsmore Chappil and a general critical survey of the world's knowledge by 'Sir J. Arthur Wellswater, M.P., R.A., H.G. Altogether an enjoyable book, too cultured to be entirely funny and too free from malice to be any way objectionable.
