The Annals of the Middlesex Hospital at Clacton-on-Sea During the
Great War. By Comyns Berkeley and Victor Bonney.—This clever and amusing book is sold for the benefit of the Middlesex Hospital, but by a strange oversight neither the name of the publisher nor. the price is:given in our eopy.

Clacton branch hospital, of over a hundred beds, in which 9,242 military patients were treated. How mortal men could double their work for four years and a-half and survive we-de not know, but the lively sense of humour which is displayed throughout their book probably. served them. It is well illus- trated with photographs and comic drawings, and might to add an appreciable sum to the hospital funds.
