Not many books go into twenty-five editions within the lives of their authors, especially if they are weighty. But Sir George Adam Smith has been revising his “Historical Geography of the Holy Land” for a new edition, which makes the twentyfifth. During the war in Palestine the detailed and scholarly accuracy of the work was relied upon by General Allenby and his officers when survey information failed. Trotzky’s history of the Russian Revolution, w'hich Gollancz promises us in English, will necessarily be important, and also dramatic. The work has occupied Trotzky during his exile, and is so long that it will make two volumes, one ‘Tho February Revolution,” the other “The October Revolution.”
