Abstract
THE troubled history of last year with its many political crises and its social changes and economic problems is fully and impartially recorded in this valuable annual volume. About one third of the book is occupied with the history of Great Britain and the British Empire, the latter arranged under the different Dominions and India. Another third deals with the history of foreign countries, among which even the smallest find a place. The activities of the League of Nations are also reviewed. The final third is devoted to a chronicle of notable events, obituary notes, and lengthy surveys of literature, art, drama, music, finance and law, with fifteen pages of a record of scientific achievement which includes mention of notable books. Several public documents are given in full, including the memorandum on disarmament laid before Parliament on January 31, 1934. A full index enhances the value of the book.
