The Newspaper Press Directory. (C. Mitchell and Co. 2e.)— There
are two hundred and five daily papers in the United Kingdom, and two thousand two hundred and ninety-seven others published less frequently. "Of these all but an infinitesimal minority are dependent for their existence" on advertisements. It is the claim of this volume to reduce to regular form the advantages offered by various journals in this direc- tion. Almost every one has to advertise in one way or another, and here every one will get a general idea of the medium that suits him best. For where advertising is a really important part of a man's business he wants guidance. There are also in- cluded other interesting matters. Any one who has a hankering after financial reform should read the paper by Mr. John Melton on "Commercial Legislation of the Aiistralian Commonwealth."
