Murray, A. M. Imperial outposts, from a strategical and commercial aspect; with special reference to the Japanese alliance; with a preface by Earl Roberts. *$3.50. Dutton.
7–38236.
“Colonel Murray makes a strategical and commercial survey of imperial outposts with a special eye to the obligations of the Japanese alliance. His book is the result of a journey to the Mediterranean, Aden, Hong Kong and other British fortified stations, as well as to Japan and Canada. It is based on first hand-information which should be useful to all who wish to make a study of the conditions in which the Empire would find itself on the outbreak of a great war. When Colonel Murray wants to express an opinion, as a rule he gives that of an expert whose views he has had the advantage of obtaining direct.”—Sat. R.
“If we note those opinions from which we differ, it must be with the preliminary remarks that there is still more in the book with which we thoroughly agree, and that the whole of it is suggestive and worthy of the most careful consideration.”

“He knows how to put things shortly, and he does not hesitate to state the conclusions which his information has led him to form, whether they are or are not favourable to the existing state of things.”
