The Jewish Year Book. Edited by the Rev. Isidore Harris,

- M.A. (Greenberg and Co. 2s. 6d. net.)—This is the tenth'issue of this year-book. It continues to become more complete. Among various items of interest, we see a statement of the Jewish, population in great towns. Manchester has 28,000, Leeds 20,000, Liverpool 9,000, Birmingham 4,000, Sheffield 800, Bradford '750, Nottingham 500, Plymouth 300. These figures, compared with the total population, are curious. Why should there be one Jew to 31 in Manchester, and one to 479 in Bradford ?
