THE SovEREIGNs AND COURTS OF
EUROPE, by Politikos." Published
by D. Appleton & Co., New York. The
author fully recognizes that the in
iuence of the royal families is steadily
decreasing, while the people, even of
European countries, are coming more
and more to the front. Yet he also I'M
derstands that royalty is still powerful
and that future history is to con-
siderable extent in its hands. While
this continues to be the case, it is well
worth while to study the characters and
political tendencies of reigning mon
archs. The author gives the reader a
very succinct and clear description of
these important personages, and of
course considerable history is inter
woven. The sketches must be of great
interest to every intelligent reader.
