Abstract
THIS valuable volume makes its one hundred and eighty-eighth appearance as a full and objective record of the year's events. It is under new editorship, Dr. Epstein having died during the past year, but retains its well-established plan and scope. British history is told in four sections, followed by the history of the Commonwealth and Empire, with the troubled story of India and Burma. Then an equal share is devoted to foreign history, including the United Nations Organisation. Here the four Great Powers have the major part, but naturally the States of the troubled eastern side of Europe receive considerable attention. The latter part of the book is devoted to the usual chronicle of the year, obituaries and surveys of literature, art, science and finance. The public documents printed in full are the Anglo-Siamese agreement, the Yalta agreement and the White Paper on India.
