Where Great Men Lived in London. (A. and C. Black,

ls. 6d. net.) —"It is obviously impossible to make the book exhaustive," writes the editor in his Preface. Doubtless this is so, but a very useful contribution has been made to the history of London. The volume, we should say, has a double arrangement. First comes the list of names of famous men and women, then the list of streets, &c. So the "long, unlovely street" is Wimpolo Street.
