ALMANAcH DE GOTTA.
History of This OLD and World Fa-
nous Institution.


The Almanach de Gotha is more than
an almanac. 1t Is an institution.
Brayely arrayed in red and gold, II lies
on the table Of every diplomatist, 10 in
constant request in the newspaper Of
fees of all countries and makes wider
and more international appeal than any
other annual of reference In the world.
It is to Europe what Burke and De
brett aud the other peerages are to the
British isles, and 1t is also the lineal
ancestor and model of such topical en-
cyclopedias as our Whitaker, our Ha-
zell and our Statesman's Yearbook.
A political and social history Of the
world for the last 150 years could
be written from Its back numbers II
these were readily accessible to stu
dents. But they are not The Alma
mach de Gotha began to appear In
1863, but the purchasers did not file II
for reference. The earliest numbers in
the British museum are those for 1774
and 1888, and complete set can be
consulted nowhere except in the edito-
rial office In Friedrich's Alice In the
little Thuringlan capital. Probably not
one In ten thousand Of those who cur.
rently use the almanac has any knowl
edge of its interesting history.
II had Of course Its predecessors.
The photographers OF almanacs are
ponderous tones. and the middle OF
the eighteenth century was the golden
age Of this kind Of literature. In Paris
alone as many as seventy-three alma.
macs were published in the year 1760
including a royal almanac, an almanac
for merchants, an almanac for Free
masons, an almanac Of beasts, an al
manac OF badinage, etc. The city OF
Gotha. Itself had Its own almanac from
still earlier date In the shape Of an
improved Gotha genealogical and
writing calendar" the origin Of which
IL lost in the mist of antiquity. though
