H.M.S.O.

SIR,—There is a very generally-felt want, because, with one exception, the invaluable publications of H.M. Stationery Office, embracing as they do almost every subject of topical interest, are to be found displayed to advantage only in the capital cities of the United Kingdom. Surely there is a strong case for the opening of additional shops in some of the more populous centres such as Birmingham and Glasgow.—Yours faith- fully, J. L. BROWN. St. Margarets, Brookfield, 7ohnstone, Renfrewshire.
