A Guide to the Representation of the People Act, 1918.

By A. 0. Hobbs and F. G. Ogden. (Butterworth. 8s. 6d. net.)—This'reprint of the new Franchise Law, with a full commentary and index and the various Orders of the Local Government Board, is a most useful book. The Reform Bill passed so quietly through both Houses that its full significance is not yet appreciated, and its provisions are little known. Now that the first register is being prepared, this book will be very helpful both to officials ancl to the intelligent citizen who desires to know what rights he possesses as a voter.
