The Dictionary of Banking. By William Thomson. (Sir Isaac Pitman

and Sons. 21s. net.)—This volume is described as a " Concise Encyclopedia of Banking Law and Practice." Under the heading of " Endorsement," for instance, we find some twenty pages of information, five of them being devoted to endorsements which will or will not be accepted. A very useful book this, con- taining not a little historical information.
