WORKS ox REFERENCE. — Debrett's Peerage, Baronetage, Knightage for 1921, edited by

A. G. M. Hesilrige (Dean, 75s. net), has been revised up to the end of November, and proves to be as accurate as ever, where we have tested it. Even the " Companionage " contains innumerable short biographical notices. This wonderful book was first issued by John Debrett in 1784 ; the present owners began to publish it in 1864. It has grown to over 3,000 pages of close type, and does credit to its editor and its printers.
