Who's Who, 1907. (A. and C. Black. 10s. net.)—The number

of distinguished persons seems steadily to increase. This, the volume for 1907, contains twenty-one thousand biographies. Every one, it will be remembered, tells his own story. The volume has for some time become indispensable, supplying as it does the place of several books of reference. —With this we may mention The Who's Who Year Book (same publishers, Is. net), containing the tables which it has been found necessary from want of space to exclude from the original volume.
