Ireland under the Land Act. By E. Cant-Wall. (Chatto and
Windns).—The author of this volume was sent, some nine months ago, by the editor of the Standard to observe and report upon the working of the Land Act. The letters which he sent back, and which were published in that journal, attracted much attention. The writer took all possible pains to do his work as thoroughly as it could be done, got information from every available source, and as he at various times "seriously offended the Leaguers, the landlords, and the Govern- ment itself," may fairly be supposed to have done his best to tell the truth. To pronounce any opinion on the matter of such a volume is beyond our province in these columns ; but we may say that we are glad to have these letters, the work, beyond all question, of an intelligent and candid observer, put into this permanent form.
