Reminiscences of Two Wars and Two Exiles. By F. W.

Newman. (Began Paul, Trench, and Co.)—This is a disappointing little book. The title promises something interesting, sketches of the personalities of the t%vo " exiles " (Kossuth and Pulsky), and reminiscences, gathered, of course, second-hand, from actors in the actual events, of the campaign of the Crimea and Napoleon M.'s war in Italy. What we do get is a political pamphlet, setting forth, among other things, Professor Newman's view that it was the neglect of the rightful claims of Hungary that led to the European evils culminating in the Crimean War.
