The Press Album. Edited by Thomas Catling. (John Murray. 2s.
6d. not.)—This volume is published "in aid of the Journalists' Orphan Fund." The fund has been in existence for seventeen years. There is no orphanage : as far as pessible the child is left in its home, and the mother helped to keep it. And there are no administration expenses. Whatever may be realised by the sale of this book—we hope it may be much—will be added to the capital of the fund. There are contributions by the Poet Laureate; by Miss Braddon, who is, we imagine, the doyenne of the group ; and by some fifty or more others. There are twenty-six illustrations and a selection of autographs. Criticism would be out of place. We do not look gift-horses in tho mouth, though doubtless, if we did, we should find the teeth sound, as they are undoubtedly y(ung. But why put in such silly stuff as Miss Marie Corelli's "Reviewer" ?
