THE NATIONAL BOOK COUNCIL [To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.]

SIR,—Will you allow me to call the attention of people who write, and of people who read, to the very excellent bibliographies now being issued by the National Book Council ?

Each deals with a particular subject, and already a large space of ground has been covered. The bibliographies vary in extent (in one, recently distributed, concerning India, information regarding over three hundred books is, given) and the saving of time to anybody with special interests may be imagined. The public can receive the lists as they come out by becoming associates on payment of five shillings year.

I am permitted to add that any additional information will be furnished by the Organizing Secretary of the Council, at 50 Little Russell Street, W.C. 1.--T am, Sir, &e.,

W. B. MAXWELL,

Chairman of the Incorporated Society of Authors, Playwrights, and Composers. London, S.W.
