The London Diocesan Book. Edited by Prebendary Glendinning Nash (S.P.C.K.)—This

annual volume contains the usual items of information about the ecclesiastical organization of the Diocese of London, benefices with value, population, and the names an& standing of the clergy who serve them, colleges, schools, societies, and other matters too numerous to mention. We observe that the two City deaneries (East and West) still have benefices which may be called rich. One is over £2,000 in value, and twelve (seven in the East and five in the West) over £1,000. There is nothing repre- hensible in this. Every other profession has many more prizes for its successful members than this.
