Bourne's Handy Assurance Directory. By William Schooling. (Trafalgar Buildings, WC.)—It

will be observed that the work has been taken up, in consequence of Mr. Bourne's death, by a new editor. It presents the same interesting and useful features. If any one item is especially valuable, it is the cost per cent. on the Premium Income,—the London Life, Clergy Mutual, and Equitable, in this order, stand highest. The figures are 516, 6-16, and 6*39.
