The April number of the American Historical Review contains: The Recantations of the Early Lollards, by Edward P. Cheyney; Napoleon's Plans for a Colonial System, by William M. Sloane; Holmes vs. Walton: The New Jersey Precedent, by Austin Scott; The Search for the Venezuela-Guiana Boundary, by Geo. L. Burr; and The Siege of Charleston; Journal of Captain Peter Russell, 1780.

The case of Holmes vs. Walton is believed by Mr. Scott to be the earliest case in which the doctrine now generally accepted in America of judicial guardianship of organic law is distinctly affirmed.
