Mews. Letts, Son, and Steer, of the Royal Ex I sv.
change, have just published, we perceive, their very se
useful serials for the year, 1850. To the completeness 23
of " Letts's Diary" we have • right to bear witness, 35
on the principle of expert° credo; and the present 4
certainly does not fall short of former issues. We is
mutt also speak in terms of praise of some very loge- 25
nious tables for finding the day of the week or month IV
of any year, past, present, or future, from the corn- St.
mencement of the Christian era downwards, and ac-
cording to eithi r the old style or the new. 33
