BOOKS OF REFERENCE. The Catholic Encyclopaedia. Volume XV. (The Caxton
Publishing Co. 27s. 6d.)—With the publication of the fifteenth volume the main part of this work is completed, though we gather that an index volume is to follow. The authoritative character of the work is sufficiently indicated by the names of the contributors, while the amount of labour devoted to it by the editors has clearly been enormous. As a full expression of the accepted views of Roman Catholic thought upon theological and historical questions it will doubtless find a place in every reference library.—The Methodist's Who's Who, 1913. (Charles H. Kelly 3s. 6d. not.)—In addition to biographies of a great number of ministers and laymen in the various Methodist churches, the fourth issue of this work contains a quantity of miscellaneous information concerning these bodies.—Dod's Parliamentary Companion. for 1913. (Whittaker and Co. 3s. 6d. net.)—It is improbable that this excellent annual will be overlooked by anyone who has once become acquainted with it. Although only measuring 31 by 41 inches, it contains full information upon both Houses of Parliament and their members.—al. Pocket Dictionary of the Latin and English Languages : First Part, Latin-English. Compiled by Prof. Karl Feyerabend, Ph.D. (H. Grovel and Co. 2s. net.)—The book, which is of small dimensions, contains a preface upon the history of Latin sounds.—We have also received Mayhew's What's What in the City : No. 1. Concerning Joint Stock Companies. By Alfred Mayhew (2s. net), and Truth Cautionary List for 1913. (Truth Publishing Co., Ltd. ls. net.)
