ch governmental function is carried out. In 'The
Government of European Cities' (Macmillan), Prof. William Bennett
Munro of Harvard has made a valuable addition to this literature.
He gives a detailed account of the way in which municipal
government is formed and carried on in France, Germany, and
England. The style is clear, straightforward, and unpretentious,
and the treatment is steadily confined to the subject in hand
without any attempt to point a moral or aid a cause. At the same
time references to American municipal methods frequently occur as
incidents of the explanation of European procedure, and these add
to the value of the book for American readers. The writing, while
succinct, is copious in detail, and only administrative experts in
the countries respectively considered could check off all the
statements made; but the work itself affords intrinsic evidence of
its painstaking accuracy. One cannot read the book without being
deeply impressed by the essential simplicity of the principles
upon which European municipal government is constituted."--_The

private library in the American Republic."--M. W. H.

"Professor Lowell's book will be found by American readers to be
the most complete and informing presentation of its subject that
has ever fallen in their way.... There is no risk in saying that
it is the most important and valuable study in government and
politics which has been issued since James Bryce's 'American
Commonwealth,' and perhaps also the greatest work of this
character produced by an American scholar."--_Philadelphia Public
Ledger._

"It is the crowning merit of the book that it is, like Mr.
Bryce's, emphatically a readable work. It is not impossible that
it will come to be recognized as the greatest work in this field
that
