The Newspaper Press Directory. (C. Mitchell and Co. 2s.)— This
volume, appearing this year for the sixty-fifth time, gives us all the information that can be wanted about the Press of "the United Kingdom and the British Isles," with supplementary details about the newspapers of the Colonies, of the United States of America, and the European States. A good many noteworthy facts might be gathered out of these chapters. But perhaps the most interesting thing in the volume is the Report of the "First Imperial Press Conference." We must quote an utterance from a Colonial delegate made on the occasion of his visit to the Maxim works :—" If this is a decadent country, show me one that's alive. To think that I've spent half my life believing the stories I've heard
• —and mostly from Britishers—that the old land was going down- hill. If there's any gradient about, I think it's up, not down."
