WORKS OF REFERENCE.

Burdett's Hospitals and Charities, 1922-23 (Scientific Press; 17s. 6d. net), is the thirty-third edition of an invaluable book, which is in constant use among all who have to do with charitable work. The list of institutions has been revised with the usual care and the statistics for 1921 are the latest available. The chapters on hospital finance deserve careful study ; we are more than ever impressed with the importance of the guidance and control exercised by King Edward's Hospital Fund.—The Institute of Chartered Accountants sends its List of Members, 1923 (Gee and Co., 2s. net), which is well edited and gives full details of the topographical distri- bution of the members not merely in England and Wales bUt All over the world—literally from China to Peru.
