1 The book has twenty-eight authors, and treats of the political and legal systems of the Soviet Union, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Albania, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland, Romania, and Yugoslavia. The present review is confined to the sections on the Soviet Union (exclusive of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania), which were written by Dr. Gsovski.

2 The reviewer has compiled a list of over eighty-six separate errors, many of them committed four or five times, together with corrections and authority for the corrections. He will be glad to send a copy—which runs to thirty-seven pages—to any reader on request.
