MARIES.—Messys. John Walker and Co. send us a most attractive
selection of diaries and pocket-books, suited for all pockets in both senses of the word. Very pretty is the Quarterly Pocket Diary, which, while fitted with the first quarter of the year, is accompanied by the three remaining quarters ready to be slipped in when the first quarter is done with. The larger and more ample pocket-books are, however, hardly less pretty, and many people will consider them more practical. The printing, paper, binding, and general finish of these diaries are all that can -be desired.—Messrs. Straker also send us a selection from their diaries. For business men we should say that Pettites Polio (3s. and 4s.), Pettites Quarto (1s.), and Pettites Octavo (18.), with Crane's Commercial (of folio size, 2s. 6d.) and Renshaw's Diary (octavo, is. 6d.), are specially convenient. For general use we see nothing better than Pettites Annual, in pocket-book shape, with roan cover; it costs is. 6d. Crane's Englishman's Pocket Book (la.) ; a very handy volume, with flexible cover, Pettites Diary No. 31 (6d.) ; Blackwood's Diary 5B (1s. 6d.) ; and The Housekeeper's Memorandum Book (1s. 6d.) may also be mentioned.
