Debrett's House of Commons and Judicial Bench. (Dean and Son.

Is. 6d. net.)—Here may be found all the facts and figures— facts of the neutral kind, it will be understood—about hf.P.'s and Judges, by the latter term being meant all persons who hold judicial offices, superior and inferior, in the United Kingdom and in the Colonies. How numerous these are may be inferred from the fact that this section of the book contains about a hundred and forty pages ; County Court Judges, Elhorders, Stipendiary Magistrates, Sheriffs Substitute (in Scotland), make up a very considerable total. Information of various kinds, such as the use of technical terms, the duration of Parliaments, &c., has been added.—With this may be mentioned Dod's Parliamentary Companion (Whittaker and Co., Is. 6d. net), a very handy, easily portable volume, with brief biographical notices of all the Members of the two Houses.
