Papers and Addresses by Lord Brassey. Arranged and Edited by

Arthur H. Loring and B. J. Beadon. (Longman.)—This volume contains Lord Brassey's contributions to the discussion of two great subjects,—" Imperial Federation" and "Colonisation." They take in the period 1880-94. Lord Brassey, it will be re- membered, has not contented himself with discussing. When experiment was possible he has tried it. His Colonisation Scheme (266-281) was and was not a failure. The Colonists he sent out throve, for the most part, but not in the way in which he had intended. The volume will be found not less interesting than its predecessors.
