s of the failure of the Revolution. All three contain a good deal of sound historical matter. H.W. WILLIAMS. _Russia of the Russians._ 1914. 6s. net. ROTHAY REYNOLDS. _My Russian Year_. 1913. 10s. 6d. net. Two good books dealing with life in contemporary Russia. The first is the best and most comprehensive treatment of the new Russia which has emerged from the revolutionary period, and gives one not merely the political but also the social and artistic aspect. The other book is lightly and entertainingly written. STEPHEN GRAHAM. _Undiscovered Russia_. 1911. 12s. 6d. net. STEPHEN GRAHAM. _Changing Russia_. 1913. 7s. 6d. net. STEPHEN GRAHAM. _With the Russian Pilgrims to Jerusalem_. 1913. 7s. 6d. net. Mr. Stephen Graham may be said to have discovered the Russian peasant for English people, and his books give an extraordinarily vivid and sympathetic picture of Russian peasant-life by one who knows it from the inside. They afford also the best account of religion in Russia as a living force, while those who wish to know more of the Orthodox Church as an institution may be referred to chaps. xxvi. and xxvii. of Mr. Baring's _Russian People_; chap. viii. of the same writer's _Mainsprings of Russia_; and chap. vi. of Sir C. Eliot's (Odysseus) _Turkey in Europe_ (7s. 6d. net). The second of Mr. Graham's books deals with the threatening industrial changes in Russia. The third is a fine piece of literature as well as being the only account in any language of one of the most characteristic figures in modern Russian life--the peasant-pilgrim. SIR D.M. WALLACE. _Russia_. 2 vols. 1905. 24s. net. _Russia and the Balkan States._ Reprinted from the _Encyclopedia Britannica._ 2s. 6d. net. Both these accounts, though written many years ago, have now been brought up to date in view of present events. R. NISBET BAIN. _Slavonic Europe, 1447-1796_. 1908. 5s. 6d. net. F.H. SKRINE. _The Expansion of Russia, 1815-1900._ 1903. 4s. 6d. net. W.R. MORFILL. _Russia_. 1890. 5s. W.R. MORFILL. _Poland_. 1893. 5s. Are all useful for the history of Russia, and of her relations with Poland, and Finland. Readers may also be referred to the _Cambridge Modern History_ (vol. ix. chap. xvi.; vol. x. chaps. xiii., xiv.; vol. xi. chaps. ix., xxii.; vol. xii. chaps. xii., xiii.). V O. KLUCHEFFSKY. _A History of Russia._ 3 vols. 1913. Dent. 7s. 6d. net each. The standard economic and social history of Russia up to the reign of P
