Parenthood : Design or Accident? By Michael Fielding. (Noel Douglas.
3s. 6d.)—When reviewing the first edition of this little book we wrote: "Michael Fielding is the pseud- onym of an experienced medical man whose object is to supply contraceptive knowledge as soundly, shortly, unemotionally, and cheaply as possible. He has succeeded." That is still essentially true, though the increase of a shilling in price for this second edition militates against his last object, while one Wonders whether the corresponding increase in size and matter will not also limit its value as a manual of instruction for the working "-class woman. But it is hard to cavil at this increase, since much of it consists of still fuller information about birth-control clinics and societies, contraceptives and I]rhere to purchase them, and similar practical details.
