Catalogue of the Central Lending Library (of Newcastle - on - Tyne). Edited by

Basil Anderton, B.A., and Joseph Walton. (A. Dickson, Newcastle.)-This is the third and last portion of the Catalogue, following up the " Children's Section" (1904), and the "Fiction Catalogue" (1906). Altogether, the library contains between thirty and forty thousand books, and much pains have evidently been taken to make it complete and-a point which it is possible to lose sight of-practically useful.
