Buy English Acres. By C. F. Dowsett. (The Author, Winkle-
bury, Basingstoke. 10d. post-free.)—Mr. Dowsett, whose book, " Land : its Attractions and Riches," is probably within the memory of many of our readers, briefly states in the fifty-odd pages of this pamphlet the main reasons why people in making investments should think of land. We shall not attempt to epitomise what is itself an epitome. Let our readers contrast with the facts which it gives—to look at the pure business aspect only—the statistics of industrial and other companies. More money has been lost in these affairs, partly from over-capitali, cation—a fine word for a disreputable practice—partly from blundering, partly from sheer swindling, than would have bought the whole of the land of England. Mr. Dowsett, who is not at all limited in his views to the financial aspect of the question, has our warmest sympathy.
