Burkt's Peerage, Baronetage and Knightage for 1898. (Harrison, Pall Mall

)—The new edition of this most useful book of reference is as complete, and, as far as we can judge, as accurate as of old. It is brought up to date with scrupulous care, and, to our minds, is the most convenient of all books of the kind, except, indeed, that it omits, out of politeness, all ladies' ages. The editor notes in his Introduction that during the past year sixteen baronies have been created, some of which, we fancy, are already forgotten. At least, we should like to know how many English- men remember the family name of Lord Llangattock.
