398 Like 'The Autocar,' it coined a new word for purposes of self-description. For five and a half years it was published on the 15th of each month at sixpence, and was distinguished by the high technical value of its articles, as well as by its independence of tone. At the time of going to press with this volume, however, 'The Automotor Journal ' is announced to appear in weekly form, the price being reduced to twopence. The publishers are F. King & Co., Limited, 62 St. Martin's Lane, W.C.

In less technical guise than either of the foregoing 'The MotorCar Journal,' which made its first appearance on March 10, 1899, has served a useful purpose in popularising the movement. It is a bright and attractive pennyworth, and a handy chronicle of current events in the automobile world. The publishers are C. Cordingley & Co., 39 and 40 Shoe Lane, E.C.

'Motor Cycling' is the name of a new weekly, specially devoted to that particular phase of automobilism. The first number appeared on February I2th, 1902, and was found at once to be a useful compendium for those interested in the subject.

'The Motor News,' which came out in the first instance as 'The Irish Motor News,' is published at threepence by R. J. Mecredy & Co., Dame Court, Dublin, and has always been distinguished for the practical value of its articles from the private owner's point of view.

Reference should also be made to the 'Notes and Notices' of the Automobile Club of Great Britain and Ireland, issued at irregular intervals to members only. Originally this was a mere circular of official announcements, but it has since assumed quite formidable proportions. To the private user of a car it is almost indispensable, and non-members of the Club or of the Motor Union of necessity miss a considerable amount of useful information.

In the United States the automobile movement has sufficiently
