The Parish of St. Giles-in-the-Fields, Part II. By W. E.

Riley and Sir Laurence Gomme. (London County Council.) —The admirable survey of London which is being carried out under the auspices of the London County Council has now reached its fifth volume, which completes the account of the very interesting churches, old houses, and historical monu- ments in the parish of St. Giles. The earlier volumes dealt with Bromley-by-Bow and Chelsea, and the forthcoming -

volume will be devoted to Hammersmith. We cannot speak too highly of the conscientious execution of this great task, alike in its letterpress and in its architectural illustrations. The work is worthy of the city which inspired it.
