T . Messrs. Burns and Oates, LonW%,VI? S C Who A* W t f °r th , e current year, edited by Sir F C. Burnand. This is the third issue of this very useful publication, and the publishers are to be congratulated on their enterprise in bringing out such a work. he present issue has 1200 more names than that of last year but it has been kept within reasonable size, notwithstanding the increase of matter, by a complete resetting and rearrangement of its pages and by the use of an increased number of abbreviations. The editor in the course of his preface says: Nowadays, happily, the public profession of the ancient Catholic Faith rarely involves social disqualifications or professional disabilities; and it would be an act of false modesty on the part of any one of us who should deprecate the publication of his name in a duly authorised list of his Catholic fellow-countrymen.' A list of British subjects, who hold papal honors, is given: also a record of deaths, marriages, and births during the past year A little more space has been devoted to the Catholics in the outlying portions of the Empire than was the case m the first issue,- but, we think, there is still room for improvement in this respect. We recognise that it is not an easy matter to do justice to all entitled to notice in a publication intended to serve for the whole British Empire. It is, however, a very useful and convenient book of reference and certainly fills a much-felt want. London: Burns and Oates; cloth, pp. 387; price, 3s 6d net
