The author in half a dozen related essays
manages to put pretty clearly the history
and wrongs Of q submerged people. he
computes the number OF Slovaks IN the
United States at 400, 600, though It IA I'M
possible to obtain official figures, as they are
swallowed up by the term -Austro-hun-
qarian.' In describing the Magyarization
Of names, either out OF fear or TO aVoio
difficulty, he tells us that Munkaosy's name
vas Meb, Pet6f's Petrovich, kemenyis
Hoffmann and Vambery's Hamburger
Whatever doubts may exist regarding the
early Slovak history, the story OF Magyar
oppression since 1s4s, and above all IN late
years, is clear enough.
A thorough monograph on the problem
OF Immigration" has been written by
Mr.. Prescott F. Hall Henry Holt d co...
H. compact history Of immigration and
that Of legislation past and prospective
on the subject Is valuable other por.
lions, such as the effect in various ways OF
immigration, may be more matters OF ois,
O1aeion. The brief summaries OF racial
nemnliarities are fair. We note with In
terest that on page 1873 Mr.. Hall lends his
authority to the statement that Assyrians
are being brought here. The Chinese are
dealt with by themselves.
There IL a new outbreak OF the woman
u,fYraRe movement in Great Britain. The
AGITATION has increased since the new
Parliament opened. To help 1t DR.. stanton
Colt. an expatriated American, who was
defeated as a Parliamentary candidate at
the late election, publishes a cheap edition
Of John Stuart Mills "The Subsection OF
Women" 0ongmans, Green Il Col. de
~nreaxes a convenient analysis OF Mills
essay and supplies notes in correction OF
naeeapeo that are no longer true owing 70
changes. In these he condenses British

Why another history of Greece In the
sStoriee Of the Nations" series? We don't
know the answer, but nobody will regret
that DR.. E. s. ~Shuckburgh has written
sGreece from the Coming Of the Hellenes
IN A. d. IA" C. P. Putnam's Sons). IL Is
an entertaining repetition Of the old story
IN thu light of modern discoveries in arch
zoology and other matters and in the mod
orn fashion Of helping out events with
art and literature and political theories.
The pictures have been picked out with
Rreat discrimination, and in themselves
mark the difference between the old and
the new styles Of presenting history. The
terminal date Is puzzling, as it marks moth
ing in Greek history. The author. how
ever, intends to write a further history
beginning with the Roman Empire, and it
suits him to stretch his limit to Au gustus,
NJ this enables him to use a recently dis
covered inscripti ion,
To an essay on landscape in general Mr..
". B. Greanshields in Landscape Paint
ing and Modern Dutch Artists" CThe Baker
a Taylor Company appends biographical
and artistic appropriations Of seven Dutch
painters, Bosboom, ~Israels, Mauve, Weissen-
bruch and the three Marises. The authors
admiration may seem excessive, but that
does not detract from the interest, and
information about these men is welcome.
The illustrations are respectable.

Mem of Science" with their addresses and
short summaries of their lives and accom-
plishments, has been compiled by Prof. j.
McKeen Cattell Of Columbia University

useful to many others for the many persons
who are not distinguished enough to occupy
fuller space in other biographies. The
volume is handsomely printed and bound.
Rowing as it ia practised at Harvard, is
described In a little volume, Practical
Rowing with Scull and Sweep CLittle'
Brown and Company, by ArthurW. Stevens
II contains much good advice and we pre-
sumo, it may be as useful as other literary
guides to rowing, though we do not grasp
the value Of some ejaoulatory comments
We hope 1t may help to bring Harvard IN
ahead at New London some day. To this
IL appended 'The Effects Of Training" by
Eugene A. Darling, NJ. D., essays that seem
TO have higher physiological h practical
value.

ments and Labour LeadsFS,' is published
