Scott Moncrieff Penney. (Edward Stanford. 10s. 6d.)—It is ten years since the last edition of the Guide was published, and the present one, which is the ninth, shows signs of a most careful revision. A. word must be said as to the excellence of the raps and plans included in,. the book.—The New Encyclopaedia. Edited by H. C. O'Neill (T. C. and E. C. Jack. 7s. 6d. net.)—There have recently been published quite a number of encyclopaedias on a small scale and at a low price, which are intended for those who cannot aspire to a book of such heroic proportions as the " Encyclopaedia Britannica." The present work is exceptional in that it is contained in a single large volume of some sixteen hundred pages. The necessary condensation seems to have been carried out with judgment, and, considering its narrow limits, the book is likely to prove useful.—Every )1an's Own Lawyer.
