Abstract
WITH unfailing regularity, unbroken since 1758, this volume presents a year of the history of the world and a survey of progress in art, literature, science and finance. The usual arrangement is maintained, beginning with a summary of English political history and the course of the War, followed by imperial history; and then the most important movements and events in foreign history, which reveal much that may have been lost sight of in the limited space of current newspapers. The second part includes a chronicle of events, obituaries of the year and retrospects of various aspects of national life. Public documents printed in full include the Bretton Wood agreements, the Franco-Soviet treaty and the Dumbarton Oaks proposals. An excellent index facilitates the use of the volume. No student of current affairs can afford to dispense with this full and objective survey of the world's history.
