Oxford University Press General Catalogue, 1922. (H. Milford.) This is

the third edition of the Oxford cataloegue, which comprises a wonderful array of good books on all subjects and shows that the Clarendon Press is conducted with enter- prise and energy. It publishes, we are told, two books a day on an average. The cost per page in 1921-22 was two- thirds of a penny, nearly twice as much as in 1913-14. The last volume of the great Oxford Dictionary will have cost £50,000 to produce, and the new Liddell and Scott £20,000. The Dictionary of National Biography is being reprinted. We note with interest that the Coptic New Testament of 1799 is still on sale. It is one of many Oxford books that no ordinary publisher could have produced.
