The Newspaper Press Directory (Mitchell and Co., 2s.) appears for
the sixty-first time. It is a descriptive catalogue of the British, Colonial, and foreign Press. With regard to the last item, the principle of selection has necessarily been followed. The Press of the United States, for instance, is represented by between five and six hundred "Leading Papers." The circulation is given, and this is an interesting column. One of the largest numbers is put against a name which few persons on this side have, we imagine, ever heard, the Delineator, which claims a total of 901,297; a Philadelphia paper, the well-known Ladies' Home Journal, passes this with 1,059,741. In Canada the Montreal Star holds the first place with 128,279. Various financial and com- mercial subjects are treated, and the volume is a storehouse of useful information.—We have also received The English Catalogue of Books (Publishers' Circa/or, 6s. net), containing books published in the United Kingdom, and some of those published in the United States.
