Polar E.vploration. By W. S. Bruce; Xew York. Henrv 

 Holt & Company. 1911. 75 cents. 



This new volume in the Home University Library of Modern 

 Knowledge is by the leader of the Scottish National Antarctic 

 Expedition in 190-2 and 1904. It is a very readable account of 

 the astronomical, botanical, physical, meteorological and geograph- 

 ical features of the Polar regions. It aims to outline the essen- 

 tial facts and problems connected with Polar exploration, and its 

 size has allowed for very little material in the line of narratives 

 concerning famous explorers. Although based on the author's 

 nine Polar voyages to Arctic and Antarctic regions, it deals with 

 the problems in a very general way and gives proper attention 

 to the observations of other explorers. — W. A. B.
