The Newspaper Press Directory : Thirty-eighth annual issue. (Kelly and
Co., Red Lion Court, Fleet Street.)—May's British and Irish Press Guide : Tenth annual- issue. (F. L. May and Co., Piccadilly.)—May and Co.'s Press Manual : Sixth annual publication. (C. H. May and Co., Gracechurch Street.)—Although the titles of these carefully compiled and useful guides give no intimation of the fact, in addition to the lists of newspapers and periodicals published in Great Britain and Ireland, they all con- tain nearly complete lists of the newspapers and periodicals pub- lished on the Continent and in other parts of the world. There are now 1,962 newspapers issued in the United Kingdom and British Isles ; 1,530 are published in England, of which number 386 are issued in London. There are nine journals recognised as "Sunday newspapers" (all except one being published in the metropolis), but in fact there is but one newspaper—the Observer—published in London on Sunday only, the other eight issuing editions on days preceding or following Sunday. The Magazines and Reviews number 1,311, of which 326 are of a religions character. Politically classified, the numbers of newspapers and periodicals published in Great Britain and Ireland, are as follows : —Professedly Independent or Neutral, 1,150; Liberal, 569; Conserva- tive, 37-6; Liberal-Conservative, 61; National, 16. Great care and in- genuity have been exercised in the arrangement of the localisation maps and the subdivisions of the books. In the same connection we acknowledge the receipt of The Philosophy of Advertising, by H. Sell, a useful compilation for advertisers.
