The Catholic Directory, 1894. (Burns and Oates.) — This volume contains the

usual information about the Roman Catholic Com- munity in Great Britain, the calendar, lists of Peers and Baronets, of clergy, schools, &c. The number of Catholics is estimated, we see, at 1,500,000 for England, and 365,000 for Scotland, giving about 1 in 19 for England, and 1 in 10 for Scotland. Can this be right ? Are there, comparatively, nearly twice as many in Scot- land as in England?
