Crockford's Clerical Directory, 1911. (Horace Cox. 20s.) — This work appears for

the forty-third time. Its special characteristics are well known, but two may be briefly mentioned. It gives the literary achievements of the clergy and the details of their income. Here is an instance taken at random : "Tithe rent charge £218, average, £152 ; Queen Anne's Bounty £6, other sources £30— gross £188 ; net £148 and house." The preface contains, as usual, some sound advice on various matters which concern the clergy, but the editor would have done well to leave the divorce question alone.
