Boors OF RagRHENCg.—The Britannica Year Book, 1913. Edited by Hugh
Chisholm, M.A. (The Encyclopaedia Britannica Com- pany. 103.)—This is a year-book on a much larger scale than any we have hitherto come across. It is in effect a supplementary volume to the "Encyclopaedia Britannica," and is designed to form "a survey of the world's progress since the completion in 1910" of the eleventh edition of that work. The book is divided into two main parts, the first " international and general," the second "national and local." Each of these divisions is in turn subdivided into a series of articles by very well known experts upon the various subjects. To these articles are added a series of statistical tables, a chronology of the two years dealt with, and a very elaborate index. Altogether we have here a reference book in the grand style.—We have received a copy of the May edition of this year's Rove/ Blue Book (Kelly's Directories, 5s. net).
