Irving
------


THE ANNALS OF OUR TIME. A Diurnal of Events, Social and Political, which
have happened in or had relation to the Kingdom of Great Britain, from the
Accession of Queen Victoria to the Opening of the present Parliament. By
_Joseph Irving_. 8vo. half-bound. 18_s_.

_"We have before us a trusty and ready guide to the events of the past
thirty years, available equally for the statesman, the politician, the
public writer, and the general reader. If Mr. Irving's object has been to
bring before the reader all the most noteworthy occurrences which have
happened since the beginning of Her Majesty's reign, he may justly claim
the credit of having done so most briefly, succinctly, and simply, and in
such a manner, too, as to furnish him with the details necessary in each
case to comprehend the event of which he is in search in an intelligent
manner. Reflection will serve to show the great value of such a work as
this to the journalist and statesman, and indeed to every one who feels an
interest in the progress of the age; and we may add that its value is
considerably increased by the addition of that most important of all
appendices, an accurate and instructive index_."--_Times_.
