La Naissance d'une Race, by Abbé Lionel Groulx (Montreal, Bibliothèque de l'Action Française, 1919, pp. 294), is a highly eulogistic account, in the form of a series of lectures, of the origins and development of the French-Canadians. Although written from an ultra-clerical point of view and marked throughout by a strong Tendenz the volume contains nevertheless a valuable compilation of facts and statistics relating to the social and economic history of French Canada. AMERICA, SOUTH OF THE UNITED STATES Under the auspices of the King of Spain, the papal nuncio at Madrid, and various distinguished members of the Royal Academy of History, an ambitious series of historical volumes is announced, under the general title Biblioteca de Historia Hispano-Americana, in which it is proposed to issue many monographs, richly documented, treating of SpanishAmerican history. In large part the volumes will be constructed around the personalities and careers of the viceroys, but others will treat of ecclesiastical, civil, social, and economic institutions. The first volume, already published, is entitled La Infanta Carlota Joaquina y la Política de España en América, 1808–1812. Other volumes, relating to the early viceroys of New Granada and Nicaragua, or presenting memorias or relaciones of the viceroys of Peru and New Spain, are promised for early issue. Dr. T. Esquivel Obregón has discussed the Influencia de España y los Estados Unidos sobre México (Madrid, Calleja, 1919, pp. 396). The Government Printing Office has issued the first (pp. 387) of two volumes entitled Mediation of the Honduran-Guatemalan Boundary Question, held under the Good Offices of the Department of State, 19181919. Besides arguments the volume contains English translations of many documents, and will be of use to students in spite of the imperfections of the translations. Señor Don Emilio Bacardi of Santiago de Cuba is causing extensive investigations into the history of that city to be made in the Archivo General de Indias at Seville, with a view to the writing of an historical work. The American Antiquarian Society (Worcester) has obtained the South American papers of the Hon. Samuel Larned, secretary of the legation in Chile from 1823 to 1828, and chargé d'affaires in Peru and Bolivia from 1828 to 1839. These papers, about 600 pieces, comprise his official and personal correspondence relating to South American affairs. Students of early diplomatic relations with Chile will be interested in a competent little volume, Los Primeros Años del Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores (Santiago, Imprenta Universitaria, 1919, pp. 145) by Señor Alberto Cruchaga, illustrated by portraits of the ministers. in German American Annals.
