Who's Who, 1909 (A. and C. Black, 10s. net) appears
without any change, except, indeed, increased bulk. The publishers speak of the growing number of biographies, and as the pages are reckoned up to two thousand one hundred and twelve—not counting the preliminary particulars of royalty—there must be considerably more than would make an " Upper Ten " in the world of literature, science, politics, Itc. Possibly an " Uppe. Fifteen" would be nearer the mark. There are, we see, as many as three hundred and thirty-five names in the obituary.—Who's Who Year Book (same publishers, ls. net) contains the tables and other statistical information formerly given in the main volume. 1—With this we may mention The Englishwoman's Year Book and Directory, Edited by G. E, Mitten (same publishers, 2s. fid. net). It gives particulars of all the spheres, academical, social, com- mercial, &c., in which women find occupation. There are also particulars about homes, sisterhoods, and the like.
