Opinions of the Eress. 



" Much convenience was promoted by the publication of a manual which, in a 

 small space, and with an arrangement affording the readiest reference, combined 

 information relating to the Peerage, the House of Commons, the Baronetage, 

 and Knightage, including the several Orders of Merit of the United Kingdom ; 

 the Judicial and Official Staff in all its departments, the Church, the Bar, the 

 Army and Navy, the Diplomatic Corps, English and Foreign, the Governors of 

 our Possessions Abroad, the Universities ; a Guide to all the Assurance Offices, 

 Clubs, Museums, and other public places ; with a series of dates attached to 

 every section of the information given, which is quite marvellous for its extent 

 and accuracy. There is also an Obituary of Distinguished Persons for the past 

 year, and a comprehensive Almanack. In short, the work in question is a com- 

 plete epitome of that handy knowledge of the personnel of the public life of this 

 country, which every one so often requires to refer to, and which would otherwise 

 be spread over half-a-dozen directories. This neat volume is admirably printed 

 and got up, and is every way worthy of the patronage it receives." Illustrated 

 London News, February 26th, 1859. 



" This little concentrated essence of Court Calendar, Peerage, Baronetage, 

 Army List, Navy List, and Law List, is certainly, to our profession at least, one 

 of the handiest of handy books. One of its peculiar features is the column of 

 ages attached to the list of Peers, Peers' heirs, Baronets, Knights, and Members 

 of the Commons' House. We may say, in a few words, that something about 

 nearly everybody in every profession, who is anybody at all, may be found out in 

 its pages." Leader, February 12th, 1859.
