Abstract

THIS valuable summary of the history of the past year compresses into a few hundred pages the vicissitudes of a troubled period in most countries. There was much to record but the task has been accomplished within the customary space without the exclusion of any movement of importance. As usual, British, Imperial and foreign history occupy about two-thirds of the book. Then follow summaries of literature, art, drama, music, science, finance and law with an obituary and biographical notices. Into fourteen pages is condensed an outline of scientific advances during the year. Among the documents published in extenso in the volume are the summary of conclusions of the Imperial Economic Conference at Ottawa in July 1932, and the Note to the United States government on the War Debt in December last.
