Holland, the sweet, shining land 

 of wind-swept waters, wide hori- 

 zons and lileaming light, is well 

 described here. Photographs, let- 

 terpre>ss, and good print help the 

 reader to visualise the little-known 

 parts as well as the ordinary tour- 

 ist routes. The history which in- 

 troduces the scenery is well and 

 simply told. Few of us remenibei- 

 wihat the Spanisli persecutions did 

 to huild up the clu^racter of the 

 Dutch people. Eighteen thous- 

 and martyrs in six years is im- 

 pressive.

 C. Hargrove. (Methuen. (is.)

 Hargrove paid a short first visit 

 to Denmark, and during the 

 Olympic games went to Stock- 

 holm, writing of it as seen in the 

 wonderful beauty of midsummer 

 days. Not only ai'e places in 

 Sweden described, but also her 

 artists, her literature, social or- 

 ganisations, etc. The appendix- 

 contains mucli useful information 

 for the intending traveller.

'■Charles Dickens. Soci(d licformcr. 

 By W. Walter Crotch. (Chap-

A patient reconstruction of th(> 

 complete political pjiilosophy of
