"Every sportsman and naturalist who reads it will be grateful for one of the best works of the kind published in recent years."--_Daily Graphic._ * * * * * LONDON: EDWARD ARNOLD, 41 & 43 MADDOX STREET, W. THE END OF THE IRISH PARLIAMENT. By JOSEPH R. FISHER, B.A., Author of "Finland and the Tsars." _Demy 8vo._, 10s. 6d. net. The period dealt with by the Author comprises the last thirty years of the Irish Parliament. The system of Dual Government--that "vulture gnawing at the vitals of the Empire," as Lord Rosebery has called it--was then on its trial. It had already broken down in Scotland, and in Ireland the irrepressible conflict between closer union on the one hand and complete separation on the other went steadily on to its destined end. The crisis came when England found herself at war; a French invasion of Ireland was attempted, and a fierce Rebellion broke out. The causes that led to this Rebellion, its failure, Pitt's decision that only in complete Union could a remedy be found for the desperate evils of the country, and the means by which the Union was carried, constitute an important chapter in Irish history, and one not without its bearing on current problems. GERMAN INFLUENCE ON BRITISH CAVALRY. By ERSKINE CHILDERS, Author of "War and the Arme Blanche," "The Riddle of the Sands"; Editor of Vol. V. of "'The Times' History of the War in South Africa," etc. _Crown 8vo._, 3s. 6d. net. In the course of the keen and widespread controversy aroused by the Author's book, "War and the Arme Blanche," published last year with an introduction by Field-Marshal Lord Roberts, it became clear that foreign influence--and especially German influence--was the principal cause of our adherence to the obsolete tactics based on the lance and sword. This impression has been confirmed by the recent appearance of a translation of General von Bernhardi's latest work, "Cavalry in War and Peace," with a commendatory preface from the pen of General Sir John French, our foremost cavalry authority. No modern work of this same scale and character, by a British cavalry writer, exists, and it is this work, therefore, which Mr. Childers, in his coming volume, "German Influence on British Cavalry," submits to close analysis and criticism.
