He sets out clearly and precisely the attitude to Shakespeare of Dryden, Pope, and Johnson; the textual labours of Theobald, Johnson, Capell, Steevens, and Malone; the steadily-growing body of criticism produced by Joseph Warton, Thomas Whateley, and Morgann before the epoch-making essays and lectures of Hazlitt and Coleridge. The eighteenth century is too often thought of as exclusively an age of prose. Mr. Nichol Smith's lectures, like his poetic anthology, combat that idea. He is careful to remind us and the reminder should carry a lesson to our own agethat "Not a year passed but several of Shakespeare's plays were produced on the two chief London stages," and that Every great actor from Betterton to Garrick, and from Garrick to Kean, made his name by acting Shakespeare."

GEORGE PHILIP & SON, LTD., 32 FLEET STREET, LONDON, E.C. 4 (1) The first two centuries of the Roman Empire witnessed the establishment and development of a profitable commerce between two great regions of the earth, the Mediterranean countries and India. Mr. Warmington has investigated the commerce of these two centuries very thoroughly, and in this volume he presents the results of his research in a very scholarly manner. From the list of authorities printed at the end of the book (pp. 322-394) it will be seen that the author has based his work on original sources, and consequently he provides the student of economic geography with a most valuable record of commercial activity. In Part I he describes the Trade Routes to India and indicates these routes on a large scale map. He points out that the discovery of the monsoons by Hippalos led to a great increase of Indian exports and consequently an enormous demand for Oriental articles of luxury in the Empire. In Part II the author has compiled a list of articles of merchandise under the headings of animal, plant, and mineral products, and wherever possible, the prices of the articles are given. The number of Indian products was very great, but the Empire had few articles to send in exchange, hence the adverse balance had to be made up with money, and some interesting facts are given about this. (2) The merits of this handbook are so well known that it is unnecessary to re-state its excellent features as a text-book or as a book of reference. In this issue, the editor has very successfully attempted to preserve the distinctive character of the work by restricting all alterations to the eradication of those statements which the passage of time has rendered incorrect, and to the addition of matter bringing the text up to date. Special attention is directed to the statistical tables in the Appendix, from which the student can obtain a wealth of trustworthy information, and to the revised maps, which will greatly assist the student when reading the text. (3) This book can be thoroughly recom mended as a satisfactory class book in economic geography. It provides a particularly useful course of study of those commercial products which we obtain from the different parts of the Empire. (1) The British Isles. By A. WILMORE. (Is. 9d. Bell.)

(1) In a "Handbook of Suggestions" recently published by the Board of Education, it is pointed out that the geography of the home country should be thoroughly revised during the last year of the child's school life in order to furnish material for that comparison and contrast which are so necessary in dealing with new aspects and ideas. In furtherance of this suggestion, Dr. Wilmore has written this text-book on the British Isles which provides a very satisfactory course of study for one year in a central or primary school. In Part I the general features of the British Isles are dealt with, and in Part II selected regions are described in some detail. Suitable questions and exercises are printed at the end of each chapter. (2) The great primary industries in Britain have been chosen as the chief topics of study in this geography. The pupil's attention is first directed to these industries at home and then to other countries which are engaged in the same industry or in the production of raw material for the industry. The method of treatment is a good one and the lessons form a useful introduction to commercial geography. (3) " Our Own Lands" is intended to be an introductory study of the British Isles, and it is particularly suitable for use in the junior forms of secondary schools. The lessons are written in an interesting style, the text is clearly printed, and the attractiveness of the book is greatly enhanced by (a) a large number of good pictures and maps, and (b) by six double-page views taken from aeroplanes. (4) Nelson's Geography Practice" contains a very useful series of lessons on the Empire, illustrated with many pictures, some of which are coloured. The exercises are intended to encourage individual work on the part of the pupil.

(1) The geographical exercises in Parts I, II, and III of this set excel in many ways other books of a similar type. The exercises provide a systematic course of work and they are accompanied by well-drawn maps and diagrams. The facts given in the text will also add to the pupil's knowledge and will at the same time help him to complete the exercises. (2) In Set B on Europe, there are twelve study cards. On one side of a card is a map photographed from a relief model; a line is drawn from a place on the map and the name of it is printed outside the frame of the map; in some cases the lines are rather close together and so it is somewhat difficult to find the places. On the back of each card is an account of the region arranged in paragraphs and followed by questions for junior and senior pupils. (3) This collection of questions is intended to help pupils preparing for the Matriculation Examination. The first part of the book contains revision questions and the second part is devoted to test papers in which the questions are arranged in a definite order. (1) The Oxford Advanced Atlas. By J.

Isle of Ely Edition. (Is. 4d. G. Philip & Son.) From the Oxford University Press come revised editions of two well-known atlases; the popularity of these atlases is largely due to the excellence of the maps prepared by the firm of Bartholomew. (1) The outstanding features of the Advanced Atlas are the largeness of the scale to which the maps of the continents and chief countries are respectively drawn and the clearness with which all details are inserted on the maps. For senior pupils and students the atlas is an invaluable part of their geographical equipment. (2) In the atlas of Economic Geography, Prof. Lyde writes ninety pages of text in which he skilfully includes a very large amount of information on world geography, regional geography, and products. This section of the volume is followed by fifty pages of coloured maps on which physical and economic features are clearly indicated, and to these have been added twenty-four black-and-white maps (prepared by Miss Shackleton) showing the distribution of various products. The economic information on these maps is based on average quantities obtained from the latest official returns.

THOMAS MURBY & CO., 1 Fleet Lane, LONDON, E.C. 4 HIS is inserted by one whose attention THIS was first directed by means of the printed page to the existence of a Society holding unpopular views on the subject of war and who feels certain that there must be many others who would like to know about it. Its name is The Fellowship of Reconciliation. The members of this Fellowship take no part in war. To join it, therefore, is to belong to an international brotherhood which is not divided by international strife. The Fellowship sees in many characteristic methods of the social and international system a contradiction of that spirit which in Jesus summoned men to create a society expressing the brotherhood of all. It believes that the Kingdom of God on earth must replace the present world order. It believes that the way to the Kingdom lies in willingness to suffer rather than to inflict suffering, and in appeal to the good in others by forgiveness and persistent goodwill. Through the International Fellowship of Reconciliation the movement in this country is linked with a number of similar movements in Europe, America, and the East.
