Nowhere except in the new Encyclo-

tory OF the Nineteenth Century and
after. Fragmentary articles in other
works deal inadequately with recent
developments in international affairs,
in politics and government, and cur
rent histories OF individual countries
give but superficial account OF events
which have profound Importance for
the present day The new Encyclo-
paedia BritaUnlca meets this demand.
il tells, for instance. about:
Affairs in the United States down
to 1911, about political changes,
growth OF the country, its progress in
trade and manufactures; about its re-
lauons TO foreign countries in recent
years, the Spanish-American War and
its effects. the acquisition Of Porto
