Commercial Education in Theory and Practice. By E. H. Whitfield,

M.A. (Methuen and Co. 5s.)—Mr. Whitfield seems to be both sound and practical. He is all for a liberal education, holding by Latin, for instance, as both an excellent instrument and likely to be practically useful. He illustrates the principle which he lays down by some concrete examples, the conspectus of a beginner's duties in a manufacturer's establishment, in a railway station, Ice. The volume is bound to profit many readers.
