Suffering London. By b . Egmont Hake. (Scientific Press.)— This is

an able plea—commended and seconded by Mr. Walter Besant, who writes an artroduction—for the London hospitals. Mr. Egmont Hake briefly sketch-s the history of these great in- stitutions, shows what work they do, and enforces the duty that there lies on all who have the means, of giving support—a largely increased support, it must be—to them. We are glad to hear of a movement recently set on foot for organising this support in an efficient way. Meanwhile, this eloquent appeal, made by one who evidently knows his subject, should not be without its effect.
