Every Boy's Annual Edited by Edmund Routledge. (Routledge and Co.)—Is

not this a magazine bound up and disguised as an annual ? If it is not, how comes it that Mrs. Henry Wood and other authors run stories through it, which are interrupted by occasional papers ? Hit is, why does it pass by this title? Mrs. Henry Wood's story has, we think, been reprinted already. The other contents of the annual (be it yearly or monthly) are thoroughly adapted for boys, and some papers are good of their kind.

*** We find we were mistaken last week in the name of the maker of the minimum-registering thermometer in porcelain which we noticed. It was Messrs. Burrows, of Great Malvern, not Messrs. Street.
