The Constitutional Year-Book (National Conservative Union, 2s.) supplies tho usual

information about Government Depart- ments, Public Offices, the Houses of Parliament, Revenue and Expenditure, Elections, Societies, with a record of the proceedings of Parliament and other matters. The volume contains more ban 500 pages, and certainly gives a remarkably good equivalent

for its very moderate price. The purpose of The Foreign Office List and Nplontatic and Consular Year-Book (Harrison and Sons, 10s. (3d.) is sufficiently indicated by the title, We may direct atten- tion to the fact that mush of this information is of A, kind which cannot easily be obtained. If any one wanted to find the name of the British Consul in HOMO small Continental town how would he set about the search P Hero this and many other things are to be found ready arranged.—Heaton's Annual, The Commercial Hand- Book of Canada, edited by Ernest Heaton, B.A., and J. Beverley Robinson (Simpkin, Marshall and Co., as.), gives the Canadian tariff (occupying about one-fourth of the whole book), railway- and general travelling information, and many other matters.
