The times are pregnant with great possibilities, but their realisation depends upon the united wisdom of the people. The chapters reprinted from the Encyclopaedia Britannica are also useful. A valuable article on "The Economic Relations of the British and German Empires," by E. Crammond, appeared in the Journal of the Royal Statistical Society, July 1914. Mr.
