Burke's Peerage, or, to give the volume its full title,
A Genealogical and Heraldic Dictionary of the Peerage and Baronetage, together with Memoirs of the Privy Councillors and Knights, by Sir Bernard Burke (Harrison and Sons) appears in a "fifty-third edition." We learn from a prefatory notice, that the revival of the Dukedom of Clarence in Prince Albert Victor makes the fifth creation of this title.—The Windsor Peerage, edited by Edward Walford, M.A. (Chatto and Windus), a handy and convenient volume, appears in its second yearly issue, No one is a greater expert in these matters than Mr. Walfor.1.—We have also received the " seventeenth annual issue" of Kelly's Handbook to the Titled, Landed, and Official Classes. (Kelly and Co.) —Thont's Official Directory for 1891 (A. Thom and Co., Dublin), while in- cluding the United. Kingdom, ma' as a specialty of its Irish information.—A valuable compendium of information is The Metropolitan Year-Book, 1891. (Cassell and Co.)—The Educational Annual, compiled by Edward Johnson (Philip and Son), "has been carefully revised, its scope enlarged, and the statistics brought down to date from the public records.' —We have also received the first of the two volumes of The Victorian Year-Book, 1889-90, by Henry Heylin Hayter. (Sands and 1WcDougals, Melbourne.)
We are glad to see a rspublication of two very useful little volumes, The Poultry and Pigeon Arirvual, and The Dairy Annual, both by Mr. James Long. (W. H. Allen and Co.)
