Choosing a Career. By Duncan Cross. (Cassell and Co. 2s.

6d. net.)—Mr. Cross furnishes guidance for all the professions and occupations, and adds information about some handicrafts. As far as we have been able to examine and check his counsels—of course there is much technical detail—they seem judicious and in accordance with facts. We notice the remark that "the best age for a youth to go up to the University is at nineteen or twenty "; it must be remembered that most scholarships are limited to candidates under nineteen. Something might have been said of the affiliation of Lampeter and other Colleges to Oxford.
