The tenth volume of the English Catalogue of Books, covering the five years 1916-1920, has just been published in a stout, well-bound volume of over 1,300 pages (Publishers' Circular, £10 10s.) It contains an alphabetical list of about 45,000 books, with the size, price, publisher and exact date of publication of each of them. For librarians and for booksellers and for many other people who have to do with books this admirable work is, of course, indispensable. The English Catalogue is now complete from the year 1801. It reflects high credit on its publisher and its editor.
