Restaurant, is now in its second edition. The first appeared in 1877, and was a great success. It is arranged alphabetically, and is very readable. ]
Who Pays? The Real Incidence of Taxation. By Robert Henry. (George Allen. ) 2S. 6d. [The author arranges our taxes in four groups, and shows,
not very clearly, how they operate. He holds that the prostituting of science to sentiment really tends against the realisation of the improved social conditions it is intended to secure. It was all prepared before the jettisoning of the Food Taxes. ]
Better Times for Working People. By James Glass. (Ormiston and Glass. ) 7d. [Mr. Glass is the son of a railway employee in Edinburgh who brought
up a family of four on from 18s. to 25s a week. He became a “ Fair Trader” twenty-five years ago. He holds that Free Trade “means poverty. ” It contains nine coloured illustrations by Mr. Alfred Pearse. ]

Common Sense in Foreign Policy: A Survey of Its Present Outlines and Its Possible Developments. By Sir H. H. Johnston, G. C. M. G., K. C. B. (Smith, Elder. ) 2S. 6d. [Sir Harry deals not so much with the history of our foreign policy as with our present relations with the great and some of the small Powers, with such British interests throughout the world as must be regarded by men of all parties as unquestionable. The book sketches the tendencies and developments abroad which are likely to affect sooner or later the maps of Europe, Asia, Africa and even America. There is also an attempt to set forth clearly the commercial factors in our foreign policy and the future commercial relations of the British Empire with the rest of the world. ]

He treats the river from its upper reaches to the Nore, and dedicates the prettily printed volume to Mr. Weldon, Clarenceux King of Arms, “ in memory of many delightful days aboard his hospitable Athena. ”] The Russian Year Book, 1913. Edited by Dr. Howard P. Kennard, M. D., assisted by Netta Peacock. [This year this work, while nearly as big as last year’s issue, is printed on more compressible paper, and is handier to hold. The continued appearance of the book is highly significant. ]
The Imprint, (ii, Henrietta Street, Covent Garden. ) is. net. [This is the first issue of a new trade journal run on new lines. It contains articles by Mr. W. R. Lethaby, Mr. Austen-Leigh, Mr. Joseph Pennell (highly con
troversial as usual), and Mr. Howard Hazell. The subjects dealt with include the law of the imprint, decoration and its uses, lithography, costfinding, paper for off-set and intaglio printing, printing devices and so on. ]
The Architectural Review. January, is. net. [This journal, started
eighteen years ago, begins the new year on an enlarged scale, which will enable it to deal with architecture and the kindred crafts more fully than before. It is beautifully printed on art paper. ]
