Debrett's Peerage, Baronetage, and Knightage. (Dean and Son. 31s. 6d.
net.)—Debrett has more than usual to record in the present issue. Among the hundred-and-odd years of its existence scarcely ono can be found that has given more material. Thero is the death of King Edward, the accession of King George, the pio- motion of the Duke of Cornwall to be Prince of Wales, the preparations for the Coronation, the titles bestowed during the past year—not less liberally given by those who profess to despise such things—the regularisation of the Order of Baronets, and other matters. All these things are duly chronicled, together with the usual details of births, marriages, and deaths. Sixteen Peers have died in the twelve months and thirty-six Baronets, the average age of the Peers being fifty-nine, that of the Baronets seventy-four.
