The Education Act, 1921. Edited by Sir John Lithiby. (Charles

Knight and Co. 57s. 6d. net.) The twenty-second edition of Owen's Education Acts Manual, originally produced by Sir Hugh Owen and carried by him through twenty editions, is now mainly a commentary on the codifying Act of 1921, with other Acts relating to public schools, endowed schools, charitable trusts and so forth. Sir John Lithiby has done his work well : we notice that certain recent cases of importance have been duly incor- porated and the massive book is fully indexed.
