_Directories._--These embrace the whole of the United Kingdom, some of the British Colonies, along with other countries of the world, and the principal cities of the United States and Canada. Many important trades are represented by trade directories and year books. There is a Post Office Telephone Directory for the United Kingdom. _Periodicals._--A careful selection has been made of over 150 trade periodicals from all parts of the world. _Parliamentary Publications._--The varied and most valuable publications of the British Government, bearing, either in whole or part, on commercial interests, are received regularly as issued. _Chambers of Commerce Reports._--These include Chambers at home, and in many foreign countries--Brazil, Egypt, South Africa, Australia, India, Norway, Sweden, &c. The collection of Chamber of Commerce year books is of value as illustrating the industries of the different towns in the United Kingdom. _Codes._--A.B.C., Bentley, Lieber, Lieber’s Five Letter, Scott’s Western Union, &c. _Dictionaries._--English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Russian. _Tables._--Calculating tables and tables of foreign exchanges. _Text-books._--Commercial law, banking, advertising, accountancy, office methods, insurance, business organization, tariffs, salesmanship, transportation, raw materials, and the commercial side of textiles and engineering, are represented on the shelves by the most recent books. _Trade Catalogues._--These are collected purely from the point of view of the value of the information contained in them, or as types of catalogue production. At present a beginning only has been made, many firms not having published catalogues during the war. The catalogues are classified and catalogued in the same way as other books. _Maps and Atlases._--Commercial routes and different countries are well represented, and the best of the new maps and atlases will be added when published. Parliamentary command papers dealing with commercial matters are received on publication, and liberal assistance is given by the Department of Overseas Trade, Chambers of Commerce both home and foreign, trade societies, business firms, and British consuls and trade commissioners. Bulletins are issued by the library month by month, giving lists of books on accountancy, banking, foreign directories, scientific management, advertising, foreign trade, and similar topics. Even a manufacturer’s catalogue becomes a work of high utility and importance when it takes its proper place in such a collection, often affording valuable assistance to inquirers in search of the manufacturer of any given article. The Library of Commerce at Bristol is similarly organized, and has met with like appreciation. The following is a return of the consultations from February 1920 to January 22nd, 1921:--
