Newspaper Press Directory. (J. M. Mitchell and Co. 2e.)— This
is, as far as we can judge, a complete guide to its subject, and should be found useful. The facts and statistics which it supplies have an interest which could not easily be exhausted. How startling, for instance, is the number of magazines ! There are no fewer than 2,531, while the newspapers number just one hundred less. That, we take it, is not what one would expect,—a magazine for every newspaper, and a hundred over. Of daily evening papers there are one hundred and thirty, eleven of which are published in London. Four of these are halfpenny papers ; but of the one hundred and nineteen that appear in the provinces there are eleven only that are priced at more than a halfpenny. Various special articles of interest are included in the volume.
