COMMERCE. 



" Magnificently got up, and printed in the most excellent way, on paper which it 

 is a pleasure to handle, this volume is one of the most important contributions to the 

 subject it deals with yet published. ... A word of praise is due to Mr. Francis G. 

 Heath for the compilation of a full index." 



LEEDS MERCURY.

 action. The plates and diagrams are beautifully produced."

"There could be no more auspiriou-; .-ca-;on fni llic inauguration of the Imperial 

 Library than the year in which we celebrate the sixtieth anniversary of the reiin of 

 Victoria, and there could be no happier beginning of such a series than that which has 

 been made i)y Sir George Clarke in his admirable volume f>n 'Imperial Defence.'"

 wh'ch can confidently be recommended to those who have not studied the subject and 

 yet wish to have a clear idea of it."' 



JOURNAL, OF THE ROYAL COLONIAL INSTITUTE. 



" This is the work of an expert whose views upon this great fjuestion of Imperial 

 Defence have been .so much Icjfjre the public during recent years. .Sir George Clarke 

 has made a special study of the •■ubject, and has .'■o lieen enabled to .set forth the con- 

 ditions of the national problem, and to point out the road towards a solution." 



DUNDEE COURIER. 



" No more appropriate or more serviceable addition to the Imperial Library could 

 be obtained than this ins'ructive and intcrc-ting hook." 



I IVERPOOL COURIER. 



" When the history of the reign of Queen Victoria comes to be written, one of its 

 notable features will undoubtedly be the conception and growth of the Imperial idea, 

 and may we hope the full realization of that idea. To further that realization is the 

 chief object of ihe Imperial Press, Limited, and one of the means towards this end 

 is the publication of such books as this of Sir George Clarke, which forms the first of 

 the Imperial Library . . . On this subject no higher authority couhl be found." 



MANCHESTER GUARDIAN. 



"The first volume of the new ' Imperial Library" is a work on Imperial Defence, 

 by Lieut. -Col. .'^ir George Clarke, K.C..\I G. If all the works in the Imperial Library 

 are as sound and reasonable as this, the new series is destined to do much service in 

 popularizing the incliigent and sober-minded study of Imperial (juestions."'
