The World's almanac and encyclopedia for 1903, issued by the New York World, surpasees its predecessors in excellence of selection and arrangement of the, vast amount of useful and interesting informa- tion which it contains. It is simply a marvel of comprehensive condensation. Tts 545 pages doubtless contain more facts and figures entering into the everyday so- cial and business life of our people, and which are in continual question, than any other book of its size ever published, while the eight-page index in front, ar- ranged in most expert fashion, facilitates with pleasing readiness prompt and full answer thereto. It is a book no live man can well do without.
