Manuel de la Croix-Rouge. By Paul Fauchille, Director of the Revue Générale de Droit International Public, and Nicolas Politis, Professor of International Law at the University of Poitiers, with preface by Professor Renault. Paris: Société Française d'Imprimerie et de Librairie, pp. 195.

Those interested in the history, progress, and present state of development of the Red Cross movement, particularly as exemplified by the several Red Cross conventions down to and including that of October, 1907, will find much of value in this brochure, entirely up to date as it is. After the graceful preface by Professor Renault, the work contains a very valuable historical introduction tracing the Red Cross movement from its origin growing out of the brochure of Henri Dunant entitled "Un Souvenir de Solférino" and the consequent Genevese Society, following with a discussion of the several conferences and conventions to the present time.

The book takes up in its first part charitable assistance in continental wars under general international law and the several conventions, considering in detail the condition of sick and wounded, sanitary personnel, ambulances, hospitals and other sanitary establishments, discussing also the effect of the distinctive Red Cross flag and sign.

In its second part, it considers the question of charitable assistance in maritime wars, including the rights of hospital ships, sanitary personnel, obligations toward sick, wounded, and shipwrecked all this with special reference, as before, to international law and the conventions relating to the subject-matter. The annexed documents include all the Red Cross conventions of a general character to date.

Bibliographie du Droit International. Par le Marquis de Olivart, Associate Member of the Institute of International Law. Two volumes. A. Pedone, Paris. 1st volume 1905; 2nd volume 1907.

These two volumes are the beginning of what should prove a valuable addition to the reference library of international law. Necessarily, the editor has omitted some things, and, necessarily, too, there are errors which must exist in any bibliography attempting to cover so long a period of time, and to be so comprehensive in the field chosen by its editor. A glance at the table of contents will show how extensive is the plan of the work. There are four main divisions- public international law, collections and reviews of international law, private and penal inter

national law, and a division devoted to miscellaneous works, both of a legal and nonlegal character. The first and third divisions are naturally the longer, and the first, especially, gives one the idea of being carefully prepared and compiled from very extensive data. If the third volume of this work, already promised, is as comprehensive as the two issued, which cover approximately five thousand titles of books, monographs, magazine articles, etc., it will bring up to date a very useful and convenient index for the student of international law.

W. CLAYTON CARPENTER.

Among the books not already noted in the JOURNAL we would call to mind the collection of studies of work done at meetings of the Ecole Libre des Sciences Politiques, entitled Les Questions actuelles de politique étrangère en Europe (Paris: Alcan. 1907). The collaborators are F. Charmes, A. Leroy-Beaulieu, R. Millet, A. Ribot, A. Vandal, R. de Caix, R. Henry, G. Louis-Jaray, R. Pinon, and A. Tardieu.

The new Geneva conventions are discussed by J. Delpech, in his work, La nouvelle convention de Geneve pour l'amélioration du sort des blessés et malades dans les armées en campagne (Paris: Pedone. 1907).

Two interesting Italian works, one on the principle of nationality and one on international legal customs, should be mentioned. La consuetudine giuridica internazionale. Saggio critico, by Arrigo Cavaglieri (Padone: Drucker. 1907); and Verso la politica attuazione del principio di nazionalita, by M. Arduino (Torino: Vassallo. 1907).

Besides the pamphlet on Drahtlose Telegraphie reviewed in this number of the JOURNAL, we would also mention Professor Meili's work, Moderne Staatsvertrâge über das internationale Konkursrecht (Zürich: Orell Füssli. 1907).

Two works in English that are worthy of notice are C. E. Chadman's A Short Treatise on Public International Law; or the Law of Nations (Chicago: F. J. Drake. 1907); and The Law of Private Property in War, with a chapter on Conquest, by Norman Bentwich (London: Sweet and Maxwell. 1907).
