BOSMHE object of “ The County of the White Rose’” is 
5 to make better known the great part which York- 
shire has played in British history. It is the only 
-. book of a reasonable size which deals.at all adequately 
with the history of the largest County as a whole, and it 
will prove a valued treasure to all who take an interest in 
castles, abbeys, churches, battlefields, etc., of which York- 
shire is abundantly endowed. The reader is introduced to 
the geology of the county, to its very early inhabitants, 
to Yorkshire under Roman rule, and right on through the 
various periods to what is termed ‘‘ Modern Yorkshire.” 
It£will be noted with special interest, in view of the 
great war now raging, that whereas nearly all the previous 
chapters deal largely with fighting, that which treats of 
the Yorkshire of to-day is devoted entirely to such peaceful 
pursuits, as commerce, science, literature, and the social 
life in general of the people. The internal strife is happily 
now a thing of the distant past and “‘ The County of the 
White Rose’’ shows in no small measure, the evolution of © 
what has become a united nation with one object in view, 
viz., ‘the triumph of right over might.””— - 
The book contains an abundance of illustrations, many 
reproduced from photographs by Mr. Godfrey Ree 
Mr. A. C. Parry and Mr. R. Stockdale. 
There is an excellent folding map of the three Ridings, 
and the value of the book is still further enhanced by the 
aan of a very exhaustive index of names and places.
