Clifford, Arlington, Buckingham Ashley, Lauderdale. * * * * * COMPANION TO THE ALMANAC. The volume for the present year appears to bring into play all the advantages of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge. The majority of the papers are of permanent value,--as the Division of the Day--a Table of the difference between London and Country Time--the continuation of the "Natural History of the Weather," commenced in last year's _Companion_--Chronological Table of Political Treaties, from 1326--a Literary Chronology of Contemporaneous Authors from the earliest times, on the plan of last year's Regal Table--Tables for calculating the Heights of Mountains by the Barometer--and illustrative papers on Life Assurance, the Irish Poor, and East India Trade. The condensations of the official documents of the year follow; and from these we select two or three examples: _Bankruptcy Analysis, from November 1, 1829, to November 1, 1830._ |
