We have received the second volume of a new and

revised edition of Beeton's Dictionary of Universal Information. It contains over 5,000 new articles more than the previous one, and as far as we have tested it, is well up to date.—Kelly's Handbook to the Upper Ten Thousand has reached its fourth annual publication, and we are told that the proof of every entry in it has been submitted to the person referred to, which should ensure its correctness.
