REFERENCIO Booxs.—Another of the useful directories published by Kelly's Directories
is Kelly's Handbook to the Titled, Landed, and Official Classes (16s.), now in its twenty-fifth year of issue.
The London Diocese Book (Rivingtons, le. 6d.) appears under official sanction, and gives the most important facts concerning the Anglican Church at home and abroad, with a detailed account of the diocese of London. The population of the diocese (1891) was 3,251,475 and there are, in round numbers, about 2,000 clergy.—The London Water-Suppby, by Arthur Shadwell, M.A. (Longmans and Co., 5s.), gives a comprehensive view of this ques- tion, a question about which the consumer, greatly interested as he is in the issue, is for the most part passive, and, if he attempts to understand it, hopelessly confused. Mr. Shadwell aims at giving him the means of coming to a conclusion. His own sug- gestion is to put the water-supply into the hands of a Ministry of Public Health.
