WORKS OF REFEREICCE.—Crockford's Clerical Directory, 1921- 22, appears in its
fifty-second issue. It is now published by the Oxford University Press (42s. net ; in India paper, 83s. net) and it has been thoroughly revised and improved in several respects. The Church of Wales now occupies a separate section, marking for the first time its severance from the Church of England. There are lists of the rural deans and of the members of Convocation, with a new map of the English and Welsh dioceses. The alphabetical list includes, of course, all the Anglican clergy throughout the world. The preface, touching on many current problems, is worth reading. Tho editor expresses his belief that the multiplication of bishops has almost gone far enough. " England expects a great deal of its bishops and is very seldom disappointed. But the supply of first-rate men is limited."—Nineteen-Twenty-One Illustrated (G. Allen and Unwin, 5s. net) is the thirteenth issue of this readable but somewhat sketchy year-book. The review of the past year is written from an Independent Liberal standpoint. There are many photographs.
