Abstract
The scope of the “Annual Register” is well indicated by its sub-title, and a truly remarkable amount of information is gathered together within the covers of the volume. Part 1 consists of some three hundred pages, of which about half are devoted to events of importance occurring in England during the past year: a large portion of this section deals with events in Ireland, culminating with the Peace Conference in London and the signature of the treaty of peace. The remainder of Part 1 is devoted to brief summaries of outstanding events in other countries of the world. Part 2 is of a more general nature and contains, among other items, a retrospect of science during the past year. The section is divided into two parts dealing with the biological and physical sciences respectively, and all outstanding events in the world of science appear to be mentioned.
