The English Catalogue of Books (Sampson Low, Marston, and Co.,
6s. net) appears in its sixty-fourth issue. The list of publica- tions (British and American, the chief only of the latter) occupies, we see, two hundred and thirty-six double-column pages. If these pages are averaged at forty entries, we get a total of between nine and ten thousand. But, of course, there are many double entries, besides new editions and reprints. There is a list of publishers, Metropolitan and Provincial. These number between live and six hundred. A list of American publishers, a new feature, numbers about one hundred and thirty, some being branch houses of British firms (a similar deduction of American branches has to be made from the British list). A special feature of this volume is a "Bibliography of Angling Books," continued from 1683 under the title of Bibliotheca Piscatoria.—With this may be mentioned The Newspaper Press Directory (C. Mitchell and Co, 2s.), now in itzls,fifty-sixth year. Here we have a "Bibli- ography of the Britith Periodical Press," and other articles deal- ing with commercial topics, dx.
