THE SLAVONIC REVIEW No. 2. (Eyre and Spottis- woode. 5s.

net.) The vigorous School of Slavonic Studies at King's College displays its learning and enthusiasm in this excellent quar- terly. The second number contains some important articles and reviews of recent books dealing with the Slav world. We may mention in particular Mr. Kutrzeba's informing account of " Political and Economic Progress in Poland," which will surprise many readers ; Mr. Seton-Watson's article on the early history of Transylvania ; Mrs. Newmarch's paper on the Moravian composer Janacek ; and Sir Bernard Pares's highly instructive review of the memoirs of the late Count Witte, which is a real contribution to Russian history. No one who is interested in the vast problems of Eastern Europe can afford to neglect this admirable quarterly.
