The idea of an empire of which England's colonies shall form a part is Mr. Froude's leading theme through some twenty essays on the present condition, future outlook, life, climate, resources, etc., of Cape Colony, Australia, and New Zealand. The whole style of the book is delightful. Mr. Froude not only goes deeply into political questions, but offers also a most interesting background of personal adventure, interviews with prominent people, and so on.

An evident satire upon church creeds, the author's wit being pointed against those who let a cold and formal abstraction" take the place of what he calls "a true religion." The book is in the form of a novel. The hero, while yachting off Rockaway, drifts out to sea, and after six days and nights of aimless sailing is cast ashore upon " Inquirendo Island.' Here he comes in contact with a peculiar people, primitive in thought and culture, who believe their little island comprises the world, and who listen to his story of another counreligious belief of their own-their god being called Mathetry as the ravings of a lunatic. The Inquirendians have a mathics and their inspired book the Arithmetic. It is in the explanations of the workings of this belief and in the setting forth of its various tenets that the writer displays his satiric powers. There is a regular love-story also, and some amusing adventures. George, H: Protection or free trade: an examination of the tariff question, with especial regard to the interests of labor. N.
