We have received the tenth volume of The London Topographical
Record (Office of the London Topographical Society), a series which ought to interest every Londoner with a grain of local patriotism. Tho special articles in this issue include one by Dr. Philip Norman upon Bloomsbury, with much architectural and personal information about the houses in Queen Square and the neighbourhood: and two by Mr. W. L. Spiers, one of which consists of extracts referring to London front Luttrell's Diary, with explanatory notes. the other heft a continuation of notes upon "Disappearing London." Dr. H. B. Wheatley writes upon " Mediaeval London Houses," such as the episcopal palaces in the Strand. To-day the street names upon their sites are often the only visible records. The volume is illustrated with excellent plans and views.
