The Writers' and Artists' Year-Book (A. and C. Black, Is.
net) describes itself as "a Directory for Writers, Artists, and Photo- graphers "; that is, it enumerates, with particulars of object, ex., the various periodicals, &c., where writers and artists may find a place for their work.—With this may be mentioned, as having, with respect to one portion of its contents, a similar object, The Englishwoman's Year-Book and Directory, Edited by G. E. Mitten (same publishers, 2s. 6d.) It gives, besides particulars of what women have done and are doing, also instructions as to what they may do, details, that is, about professions and occupations in which they may engage, how these are to be approached and prepared for. Great pains have evidently been taken to secure good information, expert writers having been found to deal with each principal subject.
