We have received the Young People's Pocket-Book, containing an almanack,

a daily text, notes on the months, with a variety of useful information (Religious Tract Society) ; and the Religious Tract Society's Pocket-Book and Scripture Calendar, with various fairly good illustrations. The information is rather too much compressed ; for instance, in the Jewish Calendar the tables for the beginning and ending of the Sabbath in London are not made intelligible to those who do not know the Jewish customs.
