it is also the most expensive, of its line. Very few are the names of notable persons which one may reasonably expect to find here and will search for in vain. Before it takes its stand upon the shelf of reference books, as a mere convenience, it is not unworthy to be treated for a casual hour as a real book. It is rather pleasant to survey so huge and solid a phalanx of individuals who, in one way or another, count-to ascertain by what claims each is of the company-and to observe among them sundry amusing evidences of "human nature." These last come out most markedly in the entries under Recreation,' where," A large number of papers prefer to use the to mention but two instances we noted, we have a distinguished man, now, we hope, not entirely deprived of leisure, confiding to the world the truly melancholy fact that, from the age of 14 to that of 27 years, he worked eighteen hours a day without any holidays; and a lady whose work attacks the profoundest subjects, opening up to us the illuminating fact that her recreations are reading, gardening, walking, and talking to cats."

Who's Who Year Book, 1914-15. (A. & C.
Black.)

THE object of this book, first and foremost, is to
be a supplement to Who's Who' itself. The
Prefatory Note states: No one who does not
spend an extra shilling on the lesser book can
reap the full advantage of the greater one.'
But those who do not possess the larger work
will find this full of information ready to hand.
It contains an Alphabetical Index, and the leading
Church dignitaries, Government officials, M.P.'s,
Ambassadors, Governors of Colonies, &c., can be
found at once.
There is also a table of Head
Masters of Public Schools, and another of Uni-
versity Professors, with the date of their appoint-

The Writers' and Artists' Year-Book. (A. & C.
Black.)
THIS is also edited by Miss Mitton, and compiled
with her usual care, and will be found very helpful.
The work has been enlarged, and includes fresh
and exclusive matter. We do not agree with what
is said about some papers not giving full informa-
tion as to their terms of payment to contributors:
vague phrases payment varies,' or 'payment
according to merit,' instead of stating terms.
It would be well for the amateur to avoid these
papers, and approach in preference those who
state their terms plainly. It is to be noted that,
as a rule, American editors are more definite and
businesslike on this point than British ones.'
To have a fixed scale for contributors is impossible
for papers in which special articles are inserted.
Scientific articles or literary articles requiring
research must command a higher price than those
on general subjects, where the information is at
hand.

The Antiquary for December (Elliot Stock) has among its contents the conclusion of Lieut.-Col. Cavenagh's articles on the South Foreland Lighthouses. He states that "the lighthouses built by Sir John Meldrum were probably of timber and plaster, on the top a lantern in which was [sic] stuck a few candles; and the first lighthousekeeper of whom we know the name is Edward Beane, who writes to the Navy Commissioners in 1652-3 that he will observe their orders as to the keeping the lights, as formerly, for the advantage of the fleet." Dr. Cox writes on Gairdner's Lollardy and the Reformation in England.' 'Were European Palæoliths sometimes Ground? forms the subject of an illustrated article by cludes his historical investigation on Dr. Nuttall. The Rev. J. B. McGovern conThe Popes of Dante's "Divina Commedia." Mr. McGovern believes that Dante made puppets of such historical personages as suited his poetical designs. "Hence he had no need of those whom he had consciously omitted; no scruple would have deterred him from conferring additional notoriety upon them had the need existed. And those he did limn upon his mighty canvas he painted with no doubtful colouring, although in some instances the mixing of his pigments was not wrought with that careful adherence to discrimination and truthfulness which literature, equally with painting, demands of a skilful and impartial artist.'

MISS G. E. MITTON, the careful editor of this Year-Book, is quite right in saying that woman who takes any part in Public or Social life can afford to do without it." The plan of the work is excellent, and is so arranged that any subject upon which information is sought can be found at once. Each is treated by an expert, and these number forty-seven, all being women with the exception of the writer of the article Catholic Information,' this being by Mgr. IN The Imprint for November 27th Mr. J. H. Jackman. There are eight sections treating of Mason has an article on Type Sizes: No. 1.

and the frequent queries in our columns as to costumes of the various armies show how extended is the interest in them. The Catalogue is admirably arranged, with a good general index, and really forms a work of reference. There is also a Regimental Index. British portraits are arranged alphabetically, while foreign ones are placed under countries. The lists under Costumes, Household Cavalry, Cavalry, Artillery, &c., are arranged chronologically. Garrison towns in the United Kingdom are under counties, and those abroad, including Greater Britain, are under countries. Caricatures are under artists or publishers.

BARNARD of Tunbridge Wells sends us his Catalogue 80 - Autographs, Charters, and other Documents (291 items), Part I. containing autographs and papers of personal interest, Part II. early deeds and charters. Among the former we notice the following: Privy Council Letter, 4 April, 1575, with four lines in the autograph of Lord Burleigh, and signatures of Burleigh, the Earls of Lincoln, Leicester, Warwick, runs from A to Ha. It includes the libraries of the and Sussex, and Sir Thomas Smith-a notable late Canon Lowe, the Bishop of Lichfield, and Dr. group of signatures, 51. 5.; Drummond of Haw-Guinness Rogers.

the French Revolution.

MR. ROBERT MCCLURE'S Glasgow Catalogue 24 contains works on Glasgow. There is a Steamboat Companion to the Western Highlands and the Highlands' (1820, 78. 6d.), which has a list of the first 24 steamers on the Clyde, including the Comet. Among Burns items is the first Pickering edition, 2 vols., half calf, 1830, 15s. Under Edinburgh are 63 drawings of buildings, edited by T. G. Stevenson, large folio, cloth as new (4 guineas to subscribers), 12s. 6d. Mr. McClure has a collection of historical MSS., Relationi d'Ambasciatori Venetiani a diversi Potentate,' including Mary, Queen of Scots, and the Prince her son (this Mr. McClure has transcribed and edited, and publishes at 18.). The price of the collection is 50 guineas. There are two MSS. from Sir Thomas Phillipps's collection: The Borgias-Pope Alexander VI. and his Children,' 101. 108., and an early work on Spain, Cesare Conparelli's 'Discorse della Monarchia di Spagnia,' 37. 158.

As a Supplement to their Catalogue 316 Messrs. Maggs have issued the description of the Gordon collection of water-colour drawings depicting scenes, characters, and the fauna and flora of South Africa from 1777 to 1795. This was made by Col. Robert Jacob Gordon, a Dutchman of Scottish extraction-the same who reached and named the Orange River in 1778. He was no mean artist besides being a fine geographic draughtsman. The collection consists of over 400 drawings-as yet

July," 1540, 307.; and seven numbers (1898-1906) of munificence of Lady Meux, 20%. We noticed also the series of Abyssinian facsimiles brought out by the the Opera Omnia of St. John Chrysostom in the edition published at Paris in the thirties of the last century, 4. 4s., and a copy of Daniel's 'Thesaurus Hymnologicus......Collectio amplissima cum Apparatu Critico,' an important work, scarce now, cheap at 51. 10s. Anastasia Dolby's Church Embroidery' and 'Church Vestments,' practically illustrated, published in 1867-8, are to be had for 6. 6s. Messrs. Sotheran have two sets of Dugdale's Monasticon Anglicanum' in the 1846 edition: one in dark-blue morocco by J. Wright, 281., the other in black morocco, 201. An interesting, if regrettable work is Zacharias Ferrerius's Hymni Novi Ecclesiastici juxta veram Metri et Latinitatis Normam,' 1525, 117. 11s. A good set of Gallandius's Bibliotheca Veterum Patrum,' 25., and a black-letter first English edition of Foxe's 'Book of Martyrs,' 251., are also worth mention.
