The Ottoman Empire, 1801-1913. By William Miller. (Cambridge Historical Series.) 547 pp. Maps, index. G. P. Putnam's Sons, New York, 1913. 7/2 x 5. The volume deals with the history of Turkey in Europe during the period named. It is, of necessity, entirely concerned with the Eastern question, which one of the European diplomats, as quoted by this work, describes as the case of a very sick man who will probably die' before all arrangements have been completed for the disposal of his estate. Prominent among the topics treated are the War of Greek Independence of 1821-9 and Lord Byron's part in it, the Crimean War, the Russo-Turkish War of 1877, and the assassination of King Alexander and Queen Draga of Servia in 1900. The most interesting chapters are those which close the work, on the Turkish Revolution of 1908, the Italo Turkish War of 1911, and the War of the Balkan League in 1912-13. DAVID H. BUEL.
