We have received : — The City of London Directory, 1894. (W.

H. and L. Collingridge.)—This is the twenty-fourth annual issue of one of the most complete directories issued in this country. We have often borne testimony to the utility of the volume, and to the intelligence and care with which it is compiled. It will not be necessary on the present occasion to do more than indicate its main divisions. These are, the " Official Section," " Livery Companies Guide," " Educational Department," and " Public Companies Department." We must not omit to notice an admirably, executed map.—The Directory of Contractors and Public Works Annual. Edited and compiled by William Biggar. (" Published for the Proprietor," by Veale, Chifferiel, and Co.)— Willing's British and Irish Press Guide. (James Willing.)
