The Daily Mail Year Book (Associated Newspapers, is.) is planned
on a smaller scale, but on rather similar lines, and provides, for its size and price, a very useful amount of informa- tion. After a number of changes of title since its inception in x875 Kelly's Handbook (Kelly's Directories, 4os.) has this year substituted in its title of Distinguished People in place of " to the Titled, Landed and Official Classes." Although previous editions were not strictly limited to these listed classes yet this year a more comprehen- sive list is assembled. Debreit's Peerage, Baronetage, Knightage and Companionage (Dean, 75s.) is this year in its 225th edi- tion. It is by now an institution as well as an invaluable work of reference, and as usual it is very finely produced. Kelly's Royal Blue Book Court and Parliamen- tary Guide (Kelly's Directories, 7s. 6d.), which has now been issued for over a hundred years, gives, as usual, the names, addresses and telephone numbers of the occupiers of the better-class private houses in the Western districts of London.
