The House of Harrison. (Harrison and Sons. 5s. net.)- This

unpretentious narrative of the history of a well-known London firm of printers throws many interesting sidelights on the industrial side of literature in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The firm was founded by two Reading lads who came to London about 1740. Messrs. Harrison's connexion with the London Gazette lasted from 1756 to 1910.
