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._
