Abstract
IT is satisfactory to learn from the forty-seventh annual report of the National Trust for Places of Historic Interest or Natural Beauty that progress is being made in spite of the War. The recent outstanding addition to the Trust's properties is the Wallington estate in Northumberland, but while this is the largest (13,000 acres) there are many other interesting and beautiful places now saved for the nation in no less than twelve counties. The report, which is also concerned with problems of future upkeep, preservations of buildings and amenities, and of the plant, fish and even bird life of Ullswater, can be obtained at 7 Buckingham Palace Gardens, Westminster, and is a cheering document to turn to inthis time of strife and destruction.
