Eitel, to which the place of honour is deservedly given, an excellent summary is presented of the chronological problems and argumente involved in con- noxion with this important work, Some translations from Chinese novels and plays ore marked by both sccuracy and freshness of style; and an account of the carver of the Chinese poet-statesman of the eleventh century, Su Tung-p'o, by Mr. E. C. Bowra, is not only historically valuable, but is also distinguished by its literary grass.

The projectors, basing their estimates upon the most reliable information from the various Forts in Chine and Japan,- from Australia, California, Singapore, Perang, Saigon, and other places frequenfod by the Chinese,consider themselves justified in guaranteeing an ultimate circulation of between 3,000 and 4,000 coples.
