The London Abnanack and Commercial Record. For the year 1865.
(William Fullar).—A handsomer volume than the public often rceeives at the hands of the publishers of almanacks. Paper, type, and bind- ing are all excellent. Besides the almanack and a banking directory, this work contains, under the name of a commercial record, a series of articles on the trade of the United Kingdom, which not only contain statistical tables of our exports, imports, mineral productions, taxation, and chief trades, but so cleverly classify and so clearly explain them that they convey a far greater amount of information than even com- mercial readers would be likely to find in the mere figures. The mis- cellaneous information should certainly be enlarged. Surely a com- mercial almanack ought to tell one the transfer and dividend days, and the stamp and conveyance duties.
