The Complete Book of the Dog. By Robert Leighton. (Cassell.

10s. 6d. net.)—This comprehensive, readable and well illustrated book deserves commendation. Mr. Leighton, as an experienced judge, writes with authority, and he has planned his book so that it is very easy to find the information about any particular breed. He says that there are now 303 clubs devoted to the breeding of different kinds of dogs, and that 22,000 pedigree dogs were registered with the Kennel Club last year.
