In "Strongbow's Conquest of Ireland," Mr. Barnard has in the Contemporary Writers Series made a valuable addition to English history. The period embraced-from 1166 to 1186-is now so remote as to be unfamiliar, except to the thorough student of history. The present volume, therefore, aims to make attractive what other-wise would be neglected. The story is told with a quaintness befitting the times, and is illustrated by maps, genealogical table and pictures. [G. P. Putnam's Sons, publishers. $1.25.]
