We have to record the "thirty-fifth annual publication " of
1Valford's County Families of the United Kingdom (Chatto and Windus). This elaborate work, the result of a vast amount of labour, has been carefully brought up to date, so far as we have been able to test it in the cases to which personal knowledge reaches. The volume contains nearly twelve hundred pages, and gives information about, we should calculate, ten thousand titled and untitled families.—From the same publishers we also receive four very convenient little volumes, The Shilling Peerage, Baronetage, Knightage, and House of Commons.—Messrs. Kelly also publish The Royal Blue-Book, a Directory which has attained to more than the standard of human life, and is too well known to need our recommendation.—We have also received the "twenty-first annual edition" of Kelly's Handbook of the Titled, Landed, and Official Classes (Kelly and Co.),—a volume characterised by the customary excellence of Messrs. Kelly's publications.
