MEXICO AND ITS HERITAGE

By ERNEST GRUENING, The Century Company, New York.

Probably there is not a single intelligent American who has not promised himself that he would "look into this Mexican question" sometime or other. Most of them have never done so, no doubt because of the lack of an authoritative account of the Mexican situation in convenient form.

It is precisely for such individuals that the volume above is intended. It is an authoritative and exhaustive account of the whole Mexican problem—cultural, political, economic, religious, educational, and very readable.

The author writes from a five years' study of the country, eighteen months of which were passed in residence and travel there. Probably no fairer presentation of the complex situation in Mexico has ever been made, or is likely to be. The volume can be recommended without reserve.
