On the whole, it is as comprehensive and well arranged
a book as could be found. And it is carefully kept up to date. We are writing this on December 5th, and we find in the appendix of " Occurrences during Printing " mention of General Zurlinderia order for the Court-Martial on Colonel Picquart ; and, one day later, the Conferences of London Vestries and District Boards held on November 25th. Alphabetical order is preserved throughout, and, on the whole, this is the most convenient, though there is, and can be, no quite perfect way of making all information at once accessible.
A notable guide-book is A Concise Guide to the Town and University of Cambridge, by John Willis Clark, M.A. (Macmillan and Bowes). Mr. Clark happily combines the man of letters and the expert, and his book, conveniently divided into " Four Walks," will be welcomed by many.—Another volume, readable, con- venient in size, and well illustrated, is Cambridge and its Colleges, by A. Hamilton Thompson, illustrated by Edmund H. New (Methuen and Co.)
DIARIES, CALENDARS, AND CHILISTMAS-CARDS.—We have received a consignment of these seasonable articles from Messrs. Marcus Ward and Co., and can only say that they are as pretty and artistic as ever. A special feature amongst the Christmas-cards is the Christmas telegram, while the literary calendars, with quotations from Dickens, Scott, and Tennyson, are especially attractive.
