Newspaper Press Directory. (C. Mitchell and Co. 2s.)—This year's volume
gives an interesting article on the " Law and the Press," a subject on which some clear thinking is necessary What with speculative plaintiffs on one side and bold purveyors of news on the other, some way of safety is greatly needed. And there are, of course, some notable facts. What a curious fact it is, for instance, that the half million Radical voters of London cannot support a penny morning paper !—Another yearly publi- cation, on the merits of which it is not necessary to enlarge, is Nisbet's Medical Directory. (James Nisbet and Co. 'Is. 6d.)—It should be explained that the Directory is in two parts ; the names of all medical practitioners being given in the first in alphabetical order, in the second according to the localities where they reside. Under the heading of the town are found all the practitioners, and the general list gives their qualifications.
