Abstract
THE annual report for 1944-45 of the National Trust contains a list of properties owned or protected by the Trust. The mode of acquirement (or nature of control), acreage and history are briefly noted under each property heading. This list is both timely and useful ; but it would have been of greater use for reference purposes had the sites been classified under county headings. As it stands, a person unacquainted with local names will have to examine sixty-eight pages before he can discover what properties the Trust owns or controls in, say, Cornwall. The index at the end of the list is no more helpful in this respect. The report preceding the property list summarizes work and development during the past fifty years. Few will read it without feeling gratitude towards the Trust and the large number of public-spirited, donors whose work and generosity have made possible the preservation of so many places of historic interest and natural beauty in Britain for the cultural and recreational enjoyment of the nation.
