Yeaa,Boorrs.—Whitaker's Almanack, 1913 (2s. 6d. net), occupies the place of
honour among year-books, and no one who has any dealings with facts can hope to avoid using it daily. This year we have in addition to welcome its younger brother, The Inter- national Whitaker (2s. net). It is more especially intended for English-speaking readers abroad or in the colonies or those whose concerns lie chiefly outside the British Isles; for in it the informa- tion concerning Great Britain itself is reduced to small proportions, while far greater detail of treatment is accorded to the rest of the world than is possible in the original "Whitaker." It is sure to receive a wide welcome.—Haeeit's Annual, 1913, is another publication of undiminished usefulness. It is especially noticeable for the well-written summaries which it contains of the events of last year in the different departments of life.—At the same time we may mention The Englishwoman's Year Book, 1913 (A. and C. Black, 2s. 6d. net), which contains information and articles by well-known experts upon the many subjects which are the especial concern of women ; and two books likely to be of much service to writers, namely The Literary Year-Book, 1913 (John Ouseley, 6s. net), and The Writers' and Artists' Year-Book, 1913 (A. and C. Black, Is. net).—We have also received The London Church Handbook, 1912-1913 (Pitman and Sons, 2s. net), which deals with Church affairs in the County of London, mid The Churchman's Year-Book, 1913 (Mowbray and Co., Is. net).
