Wolk. in this column does noi necessarily preclude subsequent reotaal The Foundations of Germany. By J. Ellis Barker. (J. Murray. 12s. net.)—In this second edition of his interesting book on German statecraft Mr. Ellis Barker has added nine new chapters, mainly reprinted from the monthly reviews, dealing with the past history of Prussia in 1806, 1866, and Ivo, and also with "Democratic Germany," which, for the author, is„ not a pious illusion. We may note that the book includes a handy reprint of Frederick the Great's political memoranda, in the original French, and a reprint of the war aims of the Six Associations of German business men, whose demands for the annexation of Belgium, Northern France, Western Russia, and more colonies should be noticed by the credulous folk who talk of "peace by negotiation."
