The Anniversary Book. By " E. M. AL" (G. Watherston.)—Here
is a book with a blank page for every day in the year, and additional pages for each month. Every page has twenty lines, and admits, therefore, of be entry of twenty events whioh may be of the widest and of the narrowest interest. It " may be considered," to quote the preface, "as a development of the very popular Birthday-Book, but instead of recalling the advent of various more or lees obscure in- dividuals into the life of the world, and reminding us of days, the orthodox celebration of which takes the form of a presentation, it will record events of all kinds (Chacun d son goat); events grave and gay, great and small; events of universal or merely personal interest; events of the past year, the last century, or of the earliest historic times." There are some of as whom no appliances in the world will ever persuade to keep a " diary " of any kind ; and others to whom appliances of this kind are pleasing, and therefore lawful. When we have described the purpose of the volume, and given a word of praise to its neat exterior, our task is done.
