The Clergyman's Almanac (Stationers' Company) gives its usual exact information

on matters ecclesiastical, together with some leading facts in civil affairs. There is also to be found much that it is desirable to know about Universities, Colleges, Schools, &c. —The Public Schools' Year-Book (Swan Sonnenschein and Co.) is in its second year of publication. " Public Schools" is not taken by the editors (described as "three public school men, Eton, Harrow, Winchester") in the narrow sense of the words. The list begins with the " Bedford Grammar School," and ends with "H.MS. 'Britannia." In the appendices, we have a " Public Schools' Biography," names of winners of scholarships, examina- tion-papers, educational books, and a second part entirely devoted to " Athletics."
