Its special object is to serve as a handy guide to the current activities of the Profession in the United Kingdom, and the follow- ing summary of the contents will show that the volume serves its purpose and justifies its existence. Of interest to the Profession at large are:-
(1) The Diary of forthcoming meetings during the year October 1923-Sept-1924.
(2) The Data concerning the Ministry of Health and other rea lated bodies.
(3) Notices and Regulations of the General Council of Medical Education; while the lists dealing with the various Universities of Great Britain granting Medical and Surgical degrees, together with the hospitals giving clinical instruc tion afford valuable information for would-be undergraduates with regard to Examinations, Fees and Costs of Medical Education.

I suggested that perhaps as opportunity was now lacking for so immense a work as Alfred's codi- fication of government, modern politicians laboured under that disadvantage.
"Yes," he replied, as we rose to leave the valley, "so great is their disadvantage that it would be het ter to discard the modern system in its entirety and to rebuild it by the exercise of those very faculties which now we have, perforce to neglect."
The valley tram squeaked grud- gingly round the corner, and we parted for that evening.

Another item of general interest is the list of medical Members of Parliament, and the Parliamentary and Medico-Legal News for the Session 1922-1923, while the section dealing with the Military and Naval Medical Services contains useful information.
Finally, there is a list of Medical Associations, together with a list Societies and Nursing Homes and

the Principles of Chemotherapy, embody the latest views on these important subjects.

A good index renders reference easy. On the whole, the work is well compiled, the print and paper are good, and altogether up to the high standard one associates with the firm of William Heinemann,

POINTS OF VIEW,
Broke's unreasoning pride receives its next string blow through the medium of his youngest daughter Delia. Delia had had a learned tutor of humble parentage who had resigned his position to take up a more lucrative one on a London journal. During a brief visit to his itive town, this young gentleman meets Delit under somewhat romantic circumstances and they declare their love for one another. The young man approadies Mfr. Brake to ask his consent to their marriage. The father refuses to discuss the matter but finds himself no match in more words for this audacions youth. An angry scene results and Mr. Broke takes down bis buftio axe. The lover is defeat- ed by brute force and left bleeding and unconscious on the gravel path.
