The New Irish Constitution. Edited on behalf of the Eighty Club by J. H. Morgan. (Hodder and Stoughton. 10s. fid. net.)— We cannot here do more than draw attention to this statement of the case in favour of Home Rule, which has been edited by Professor Morgan at the request of the Committee of the Eighty Club. The book is in three parts, of which the first consists of a discussion of the new Bill. Among the chapters which compose it, we notice one by Lord MacDonell upon "Irish Administration under Home Rule," another by Sir Frederick Pollock upon " The Judicial Committee and the Interpretation of the New Constitu- tion," and a third by Lord Welby upon "Irish Finance." The second part is entitled "A Historical Argument," with, among others, chapters by Mrs. J. R. Green upon " Irish Nationality," by Professor Pollard upon "Ireland as a Dependency," and by Lord Dunraven upon " The History of Devolution." A series of chapters giving the arguments from contemporary facts occupies the last part of the volume. It will be noticed with some astonishment by Unionists that none of the sixteen chapters of the book deals specifically with the problem of Ulster, which is now admittedly the principal crux of the Home Rule argument.
