Sweden of To-day, edited by Magnus Blornstedt and Fredrik Book
(ICr.26, The Aktiebolaget Hasse W. 'I'ullberg Printing Works, Stockholm), which should be indispensable to anyone who wishes to learn about Sweden, is based on a larger work Oompiled by Major-General M. Blomstedt, Professor F. Book, and Dr. G. Upmark, and has been prepared in order to assist the English-speaking visitor to gain a more compre- hensive understanding of Sweden than would be possible on a short visit. Every phase of Swedish life—art, letters, drama, industry, science, education, social activities and sport—is surveyed in a series of concise essays which are abundantly illustrated with excellent photo- graphs. The production of so com- plete and encyclopaedic a mono- graph is rather an achievement, and its efficiency and interest make one regret that no such volume of the same kind is available for foreigners who wish to come to this country.
