Careers for Our Sons. By the Rev. George H. Williams.

(Simpkin, Marshall, and Co. 3s. 6d. net.)—Mr. Williams describes with much useful detail eighteen careers. He begins with the " Church," and he ends with Colonial openings. The Army and Navy, the mercantile marine, medicine, science, trade, the Civil Service, &c., are successively dealt with, and all, as far as we are able to judge, both accurately and clearly. Perhaps the weakest chapter is that entitled " Chemists." The subject is a very large one, and the details require the knowledge of an expert. No special mention is made of one of the most hopeful openings, that of the assaying of metals.
