The Liverpool Sketch Book.
“The Liverpool Sketch Book” records a selection of the best designs and measured drawings executed by students of the School of Architecture of the Liverpool University. This School of Architecture, under the direction of Professor C. H. Reilly, M.A., F.R.I.B.A., has become closely identified with the modern movement for the development of classical design and the careful study of monumental work. It is conducted on the most scholarly lines, embodying the best methods of the French and American schools, and the results achieved have been approved by all the leading men of the profession.
The illustrations in “The Sketch Book” are beautifully printed on thick art paper, and the volumes will be found particularly interesting and useful to all students. In view of the fact that for the Final Examination of the R.I.B.A. four testimonies of study are now required, the designs and details illustrated in these volumes, which show how similar problems have been dealt with, should be found of the greatest possible value.
In addition to work by present students of the School, and the work of the Travelling Scholars, that of its old students, and others connected with it directly or only sympathetically, is also included, the object being to present a consistent and definite architectural outlook rather than a mere collection of drawings.

Who’s Who in Architecture.
This new volume, which makes its first appearance in 1914, will take its place henceforth as a work of reference for everyone connected with architecture and building. Perhaps its greatest attraction lies in the fact that it occupies a sort of midway position between the biography and the directory, possessing all the personal interest of the one and all the detailed information of the other. The societies have their list of members, and the directories give, more or less correctly, the names and addresses of architects in practice, but the information thus presented is of the baldest description, and quite devoid of all personal attraction. “Who’s Who in Architecture” is of far greater interest and value. It gives a succinct account of all the most notable men in the profession—their training, achievements, etc.—and not only of the leading men, but also of the many architects who have done important work without having had the attention of the profession directed to it. The book also gives addresses, etc., and as the list of architects is a thoroughly comprehensive one, “Who’s Who in Architecture” thus fulfils a dual purpose as—
