How to Appeal against Your Rates (in the Metropolis). By

A.D. Lawrie. Fifth Edition, revised by G. F. Emery. (Effing- ham Wilson. 2s. 6d. net.)—The value of this little book is shown by the fact that it has reached a fifth edition. The law has changed very little since the last edition, but, as Mr. Emery remarks, the burden of rates has grown to an incredible extent and harassed ratepayers are bound to see that they are not charged beyond their due.
