SOME BOOKS OF THE WEEK.
[Notice in this column does not necessarily preclude subsequent review.]
Amongst books on subjects connected with the war, we may mention three more volumes of reprints from the Encyclopaedia Britannica, of which two deal with Austria-Hungary and Poland and _Russia and the Balkan Slates, whilst the third is a most interesting collection of articles on all the great Wars of the 19th Century, together with accounts of the more recent Russo-Japanese, Turco-Italian, and Balkan Wars (Encyclo- paedia Britannica Co., 2s. 6c1. net each).—Nash's War Manual (Eveleigh Nash, 2s. net) and The New War Encyclo- paedia and Dictionary (Jarrold and Sons, 6d. net) alike describe" the who—what—why—where and when of the war"; both seem well compiled and useful.—Liberty (Hodder and Stoughton, is. net) is a brief statement of the British ease by Mr. Arnold Bennett.—The Under-War, by A. G. Whyte and T. C. Elder (The Electrical Press, is. net), aims at inciting a reasoned attack on German and Austrian trade.—The first part of Nelson's Portfolio of War Pictures (T. Nelson and Sons, 7d. net) contains thirty-two large and clear photographs of scenes and persons connected with the declaration of war.— The Cardinal Publishing Co. (3 Wine Office Court) send us six War-Hero Portraits (3d. each) by W. Rennison.
