The Clergy Directory, 1898 (J. S. Phillips) gives, as usual,
the necessary information about the clergy, parishes, diocesan establishments, and patronage of the Church of England in a small compass and at a moderate price. There is also a list of Church societies, charitable, educational, and missionary, with the names of officials. The value of benefices seems to be still a difficulty. The benefice 629A (45) is stated with great precision at twice its net value.—Kelly's Handbook of the Titled, Landed, and Official Classes for 1898 (Kelly's Directories Company, 16s.) gives informa- tion which it would not be possible, we suppose, to find in an equally convenient and accessible shape elsewhere.—We have received the sixteenth volume of Burdett's Official Intelligence of British, American, and Foreign Securities, by Sir Henry Burdett (Spottiswoode and Co. 50s.)—It is needless to say anything beyond the notification of its appearance of a work that is recog- nised as indispensable, but we may express regret that it now appears for the last time under the care of Sir Henry Burdett.
