The Country Gentleman's Estate - Book, 1903. Edited and com- piled by

W. Broomhall. (Country Gentlemen's Association. 5s. net.)—This manual is now in its eleventh year, and continues to give in abundance the information which its clientele requires. Small holdings, judicial decisions in 1902, legislation, building, farming experiences and suggestions, and similar matters make up the contents of the Estate-Book. It is a very useful manual, and we most heartily recommend it to our readers. Curiously enough, though meant to be severely practical, it is also extremely readable,—at any rate to those who care for the country, even though they do not own landed estates.
