Europe, 1789-1920. By Edward Raymond Turner. (Heine- mann. 21s. net.)—Professor

Turner, of Michigan University, has produced an uncommonly readable sketch of European history. Viewing our affairs frcm across the Atlantic, he is more dispassionate, perhaps, than an English historian would be, and he distributes the emphasis in a somewhat different way. The narrative is clear and reasonably detailed and the numerous maps and short biographies will be found useful.
