The Daily Mail Year - Book. (6d.)—The word " year-book " is

to be explained by the sub-title, "A Handbook to All the Questions of the Day." A most interesting collection of figures, facts, and reflections is given us. It is an epitome of the serious discussions that have been going on for the last twelve months.—Hazell's Annual (Hazen, Watson, and Viney, 3s. Gd. net), with its convenient alphabetical arrangement and great bulk of carefully compiled information, is as welcome as ever.—The Literary Year-Book (G. Routledge and Sons, 5s.) contains a "List of Authors" (with at least three thousand names, as far as we can calculate), a classified index, and in Part II. a vast amount of miscellaneous information about copyrights, periodicals, the trade, &c. We see the name of Mr. Harry Quilter, who died on July 10th last.
