Burke's Peerage, Baronetage, and Knightage. By Sir Bernard Burke. Fifty-fourth
edition. (Harrison and Sons.)—This " Genealogical and Heraldic Dictionary" does not need any com- mendation. More than seventeen hundred pages of the largest octavo size are filled with a mass of facts which concern more thousands of individuals than we care to calculate. The accuracy with which this huge accumulation. part of whicb is continually shifting and changing, is managed, is worthy of all praise.— Only five years younger than " Burke " is Thom's Official Directory of England and Ireland (Thom and Co., Dublin), the " Ireland," it must be understood, being emphasised. This volume is, indeed, the special authority on Irish matters.—We have also received The Advertising A B C (T. B. Browne), in which may be found, among other things, all information about London and provincial newspapers, foreign and Colonial magazines and periodicals, &c.
