Chambers's Twentieth Century Dictionary. Edited by the Rev. Thomas Davidson.

(W. and R. Chambers. 3s. 6d.)—We have found this dictionary satisfactory, as far as our examination has gone, though, indeed, for really effective inquiry long-continued trial would be wanted. Terms used in sport, for instance, are specially included; accordingly we find "stymie:' " foozle," both familiar, even too familiar, in golf. "Approach," however, is wanting. On the whole, this is, we take it, an excellent dictionary, giving ample value for its price.
