CURRENT LITERATURE.

The Annual Register for 1875. (Rivingtons.)—Our notice of this admirable compilation has been accidentally delayed, but come when it may, all we can say is that we have never known any work of the kind so uniformly and unimpeachably accurate. We have tested this point in every way that has occurred to us, and in points where almost all such books of reference break down, and the result is as we have stated. In size, type, paper, as well as in the style of the narrative and general arrangement, the Annual Register is everything that can bo wished. The index is full and handy, and the only criticism we have further to offer is that if an extraordinary number of apparently unimportant details are contained in it, that is the fault of the year 1875, and not of the Annual Register.
