SOME BOOKS OF THE WEEK.

[Under this heading we notice such Books of the week as have not been reserved for roviow in other forms.]

Any one who wishes to acquaint himself with the personnel of the new Parliament, the public and private services of the Members, may consult "Hazell's Annual " Guide to the New House of Commons (Hodder and Stoughton, ad. net), or The " Dai/y Chronicle" Parliamentary Guide (Daily Chronicle Office, 6d. net.) The latter is furnished with portraits of the Cabinet Ministers, and with some of the unofficial Members. Most of the Metro- politan Members are thus represented, but in the provincial section the portraits are rare.
