The British Almanac and Companion (Stationers' Company) contains the usual

information about things sacred and secular, celestial and terrestrial. The Companion reviews, according to custom, the '• Architecture," "Art," "Drama," "Engineering," "Music," "Science," and " Sport " of the year.—Another useful periodical is the Clergyman's Almanac (same publishers), which, while literally a handy volume, contains all the information that is commonly needed by the profession for whom it is specially intended.
