BOORS OF REFERENCF.. — Debred4 House of Commons and the Judicial Bench,
1916 (Dean and Son, 7s. 6d.), is a "Who's Who" of Members of Parliament, Judges, including the Colonial Bench, and Stipendiary Magistrates. It has also a brief table of the Upper House.—Dod's Parliamentary Companion, 1916 (Whittaker and Co., 3s. 6d. net), has much the same information, without herahh?,- and without reference to the Bench. The Members and the constituencies appear in complementary lists. Dorrs is a stout, compact little pocket-book in form.—The Literary Year Both, 1916 (Heath, Crouton, and Ouseley, Gs. net), is a list of authors with their works and the periodicals to which they con- tribute, of illustrators, agents, and libraries. There is also advice upon legal and kindred matters that affect literary workers.—The News- paper Press Directory, 1916 (Mitchell and Co., 2s. net), gives classified lists of the periodical publications of the United Kingdom, the Empire, and of some foreign countries. There are articles on current topics. It is perhaps compiled from the advertising rather than the literary point of view.--Ery's Royal Guide to the London Charities. (Chatto and Windus, Is. Gd.) stands alone in its own sphere. It is helpful to social workers, useful to the philanthropic, and, in such a year as this, a noble record of undaunted charity. --Clubs, 1916. (Spottiswoodo and Co. 5s. net.)—The late ex-Lower Master of Eton continued to occupy some of his leisure in keeping up to date his handy list of clubs throughout the world which an Englishman may want to join or to use temporarily. In his last list he had over four thousand to tabulate, with addresses and brief particulars.
