The London Manual for 1906. Edited by Robert Donald. (E.
Lloyd. ls. 6d.)—The contents of this very interesting and useful volume are described by the sub-title as " Information Concerning Public Bodies," the institutions of political and municipal London. This information is, we are told, either "obtained from official sources" or "officially revised." It seems most complete, though here and there we should have been glad to have had a more detailed statement. "Municipal Trading," a subject of the very greatest importance, is given in a concise summary which does not fill a single page. On the "Estimated Inoome" side we see "Steamboats, £180" as a "Transfer from Bate Account to make good deficiencies." All students of municipal life and activity will be grateful to Mr. Donald, who is an expert on the subjects with which he deals, for this timely volume.
