tnct improvement Of general character is
the increased amount of useful information
to be found between the familiar blue-and-
gold boards. With the additional list"
the majority of our people, at least those
within reasonable radius. win be found
duly entered. Interior towns have neces-
sarlly, perhaps. more succinet categories
credited to Them, but these might be safely
extended IN many cases. Then again, one
would have look to see the leading naval
and military stations more particularly can
vassed. But these are minor points In the
light of the general convenience of this al
most official society directory. The ar
rangement and Typography are distinc thy
good and. although few errors are doubt
less inevitable in the text, the general &C
curaey and progressive scope of the book
must be highly commended. The Portland
addendum will be valued by many.
