promotions and appointments gazetted during 1902 for war service, and in connection with the coronation, as well as those in the birthday list, for November 10th. Degrees and hoods, hallmarks, voters' qualifications which had been dropped, are now added. The academic information covers both Colonial and English institutions. The sketch of the British Empire and its dependencies has been rewritten, and increased space has been assigned to London School Board, the customs tariff and the postal guide. The manual remains, as a whole, a reference list for the personalia in English affairs fuller than that of any other issue. 792 pp. Indexed. 12mo.

American Almanac, Year-Book, Cyclopedia and Atlas, The, 1903. An issue intended to combine the Annual and the Almanac. An important addition is the large number of maps which, while small in scale, will still be useful. There are articles on a number of subjects, and the usual information looked for in any almanac. The issue is particularly full in its weather tables, its prices of stocks and its information as to the government of New York City. Sporting is accompanied by accounts of each game for the year, as well as the usual records. 918 pp. 8vo.-N. Y. Journal.

The eighth issue of a record of American book prices, which includes the book sales in New York, Boston and Philadelphia from September 1, 1901, to September 1, 1902. It is preceded by the discussion of the character of the sales, a chronological list of their occurrence and gives the prices of 10,396 lots, closing with an index. This issue has come to be the standard work of authority with reference to auction sales. 632 pp. 8vo.

SELECTIONS

Isn't It So? By Nettie Seeley Murphy, This consists of a number of platitudinous sayings founded upon anything but a stable and true philosophy. It contains numerous poor attempts at witticisms and places man and woman and the marriage relations in a ridiculous light that belies the dedication "to my dearest friend, my wisest counsellor, etc., my husband." Pictured by J. C. Coll. 91 pp. 12 mo.

Praise of the Dog. An anthology. Compiled by Ethel E. Becknell. The compiler naturally goes no further back than Ulysses's Argos, and includes contemporary writers like Mr. Robert C. Lehman. Copyright considerations have excluded Tennyson, Matthew Arnold and Christian Rossetti; but very few other noted poets of England are missed in the chorus of praise. Keats, Shelley and Coleridge appear to have contributed nothing to the purpose, and we miss Tobit's dog in the Apocrypha. Sir Isaac Newton's Diamond is naturally omitted in this anthology of praise, and the mediæval hounds. notably he who avenged

work published in a limited edition which, after reviewing the early history of printing, beginning with the edition of Ovid, printed at Rome in 1471, through a series which runs down to Caxton. The colophons are presented discursively and in no special order. The colophons of a number of printers, one of the last being Acursio's issue of a volume of dissertations in 1524. The book is furnished with rubricated sideheads, an ornamental title, yellowish paper, deckled edges, and a parchment cover in an Italian style. It does not appear to be based upon more than a general and cursory knowledge of its subject. 129 pp. 8vo.
