WRIGHT & CO., 7, Temple Lane, London, E.C **An illustrated booklet that is tinJiiig a ready sale just now is ‘ B etw een th e In n in gs.' The Recollec­ tions and Reflections of the coniy.ier, W . R. W eir, offer most interesting reading, while Charles Plairre’s verses are up to his high standard of excellence. The publishers are to be congratulated upon producing such good value for 2d., also that the followers of the game have apparently realised the fact. It is not always that well-meant eff >rts meet with fit and proper rewa d.”— lit/eree.
