The practical and sensible little book of Mr. Ernest H.

Robinson on Rifle Training for War (Cassell and Co., ls. net) should save a great deal of wasted time to those, whether recruits or civilians, who are now eagerly learning to shoot. To civilian members of Rifle Clubs especially we commend Mr. Robinson's reminder that "shooting at the ordinary bull's eye target, after the most elementary lessons have been learned, is a waste of time which is not to be tolerated." With equal brevity and clearness he explains the kind of practice which is of use as a preparation for handling the Service rifle, and we hope that every Rifle Club in the country will carry out some such course of training as is here described.
