Benziger, Marie Agnes. Off to Jerusalem. *$1. Benziger.

Berard, (Eugene) Victor. British imperialism and commercial supremacy; tr. by H. W. Foskett; with a pref. to the Eng. ed. by the author. *$2.60. Longmans.
Mr. Foskett says: “At the present time, the antagonistic opinions of free trade on the one hand, and the protection, fair trade, preference to the colonies on the other, are shaking to its very foundations the economic structure on which commercial Great Britain has rested and flourished undisturbed for the past fifty years. Under the circumstances the comprehensive survey made by M. Victor Bérard of the commercial and industrial situation of Great Britain among the leading communities of the day must undoubtedly appeal to the intelligence of all thinking Britons.” The translator’s aim is to emphasize the necessity for a thoro application of modern scientific methods.
“The analysis of the book is keen, its style lively, and it is interesting reading.”
