The Medical Annual and Practitioners' Index, 1895. (Wright and Co.,
Bristol.)—This is the thirteenth annual publication of this "Work of Reference for Medical Practitioners." The editors and contributors number more than thirty, and have among them many men of eminence in their profession. Some, we are glad to see, of the American physicians and surgeons lend their help. This is as it should be. The volume contains a record of the year's advance in medicine and surgery which should be useful to every practitioner.
We have received the "fourth edition" of The Charities' Register and Digest, with an introduction by C. S. Loch. (Longmans.)— It may be as well to explain that this is a register of "Charities in or available for the Metropolis." Mr. Loch's introduction is a guide and one of the most valuable kind to what would without it be a most perplexing maze of information. The index is all that could be desired ; yet it would not suffice in itself. What is done and what can be done, by public authorities, the manage- ment of institutions, public and private, the action of personal charity, hospitals, and reformatory schools, truant schools, the various asylums, all these and many other matters are sys- teraatically treated.
