Wonss or REFERENCE. — The Annual Register for 1917. (Longmans and Co.
24s. net.)—It is very convenient to have so promptly this record of the past year, with its many great events. The course of the war is outlined briefly but clearly in the first three chapters, and the Mesopotamian and Dardanelles Commission Reports are summarized towards the end of the book. The review of home
affairs is commendably dispassionate, and the section devoted to Russia in particular is well done.—The Official Year-Book of the Church of England (S.P.C.K., 2s. 6d. net), now in its thirty-sixth year, contains much information in a compact form for which one would seek vainly elsewhere. The summary of the proceedings of Convocation and the brief reports of the Bishops overseas are among the interesting features of this useful compilation.
