The Green Book of London Society. Edited by Douglas Sladen

and W. Wigmore. (J. Whitaker and Sons. 5s. net.)—The chief contents of this volume may be given by quoting the sub-title : "A Directory of the Court, of Society, and of the Political and Official World ; including Celebrities in Art, Literature, Science, and Sport." In respect of this last item the information given is quite encyclopaedic. A company of experts instruct the reader in all branches of the subject—aeroplanes, big-game shooting, hunt- ing, cricket, golf, boxing, &c. All care certainly has been taken to make the Green Book as complete and accurate a guide as possible.
