In the Philippines.

The Philippine Islands and Their Peo-
pie" by Dean c. Worcester. Is the latest
Of the many books which have been
written on this subject since the Battle
OF Manila. The author, as most peopIe
know. has spent considerable time in the
islands. and his book is largely descrip-
tive and fully illustrated from photo
graphs.
The work deals less with general ques-
tons than some of its predecessors and
more definitely with particular localities.
There is first a brief review of the his
tory OF the islands, then a chapter on Ma
Mia, then a general survey of the archi-
pelago. and then a discussion in detail of
each important island, which occupies the
rest of the volume. There is a large map
in addition to the illustrations.
Much of the descriptive part of the work
is occupied VITA incidents which hap
pened to the author and his party, and, In
fact, the style throughout is informal and
neutrality-suspicious. a fairly good
