Government and Politics of France. By E. M. Sait. (Harrap.
10s. 6c1. net.)—Professor Sait of California University has written a most valuable and illuminating account of the way in which France is governed to-day. His chapters on the composition and procedure of the Chamber and on the state of parties will help the English reader to understand the seeming vagaries of French politics. The chapters on the Senate, on local government, and on the administrative courts are equally good. Professor Sait has used the latest French authorities and takes note of the many changes that have occurred since President Lowell, for example, wrote his well- known handbook twenty years ago. The author's work was apparently in type, however, before M. Millerand was elected President and formulated a new conception of the rights and duties of his office.
