Among the new Baronets we may note the well-deserved appointment
of that great doctor and man of science, Pro- fessor Osler. The list of Knights is very long and very various, and touches almost all professions and employments. As Uncle Joseph says in " The Wrong Box," when describ- ing the contents of the American newspaper, "there is even a corner for Literature "—a corner very well filled by Pro- fessor Raleigh of Oxford and Mr. Sidney Lee, the editor of the " Dictionary of National Biography." Mr. Guy Granet, the General Manager of the Midland Railway, finds an appro- priate reward for public service as well as for his notable railway work. That we are unable to mention a larger number of names is solely due to lack of space. The Army and Navy list, if we gave it even without comment, would fill many pages. Two appointments are made to the Order of Merit : Sir George Trevelyan and Sir Edward Elgar.
