\ COMES or Rarmeximm.—Who's Who, 1918 (A. and C. Black,
21s. net) makes a prompt appearance, bulkier than ever but quite as accurate. It has been swelled by the inclusion of numerous naval and military biographies, for the editor has endeavoured to notice all who have won the CB., C.M.G... or D.S.O., and the book now runs to nearly two thousand seven hundred pages.—The TVritera' and Artists' Year Book, 1918, edited by G. E. Mitton (same publishers, 24. net), acorns to have been revised with care. It is an invaluable little book for the professions concerned.—Bardett's Ilospitals and (Rarities, 1917, edited by Sir Henry Burdett (Scien- tific Press, 12e. 61. net), has been delayed by the war, but is none the less welcome and valuable. The editor in his vigorous Preface declares that the voluntary hospitals and other charities have been well maintained during the war, and that the ordinary income of the hospitals showed an increase of £051,000 in 1915. The total ordinary income of all charities in that year was £14,731,362. The advocates of State control for every institution should beware lest they cause the springs of this golden flood to dry up.
