Sell's Dictionary of the World's Press, by Henry Sell (167

Fleet Street, 75. 6d.), is even more interesting than usual. It is much more comprehensive than even its title, though this sounds large, would indicate. Literature, politics, social topics, are repre- sented, and there is the usual complete list of all periodical publications that appear, both at home and abroad. A supple- ment representing the "Progress of the British Newspaper Press during the Nineteenth Century" has been added. It tells the story of newspapers, metropolitan and provincial, and is illustrated with portraits, facsimiles, &c.
