a whole, as these stand before
the world at the beginning of the twentieth century, are discussed by
Mr. Holland in a vein of modest conviction, and withal of illuminating
criticism, supported by apt quotation and example, which is very
instructive.'--_Spectator_.

'Mr. Bernard Holland has written a good book upon a great subject. He
writes with sobriety and force, backed by wide reading and considerable
knowledge of affairs. His book ought to be widely read and seriously
considered.'--_Times_.

'A very remarkable book; eminently instructive. The newest political
thought is addressed to the beginnings and the desirability of a
complete transformation of the British Empire. They are not all dreamers
and faddists who commend the change and would hasten it. Of such is Mr.
Bernard Holland, a man whose studies, whose sagacity, whose freedom from
the limitations of partizanship and the heats of controversy, entitle
him to a respectful hearing whenever he speaks.'--_Pall Mall
Gazette_.

RIGHTS AND WRONGS OF THE TRANSVAAL WAR.

By E.T. COOK,
Recently Editor of the _Daily News_.

THIRD IMPRESSION. One volume, demy 8vo., 12s. 6d. net.

'We must congratulate Mr. Cook most warmly on his achievement. Whatever
else may be read about the diplomacy that preceded the war, his book
must certainly be read. It will immensely increase a reputation that
already stood very high. No recent book on any political question has
been so good, and we are inclined to think it marks out Mr. Cook as the
ablest political journalist of the day. The writing is of a masterly
lucidity.'--_Literature_.

'Mr. Cook has produced a handbook of the political history of the War,
the practical utility and instructive value of which it would be
difficult to exaggerate.'--_World_.
