Literary Annuals and Gift-Books [Note. The one invaluable reference for the student of the annuals and gift-books is F. W. Faxon's bibliography with its descriptive introduction, but as only 150 copies of this were printed it is not always readily available. In default of this the same author's earlier lists in the Bulletin of Bibliography, and some of the check lists of pubUc libraries will be useful. There were many reviews and notices of annuals, singly and in groups, in the periodicals from 1830 to i860. Only a few, and these not necessarily the most valuable, are listed here. Numer- ous brief references to particular annuals may be found in the biographies of edi- tors, contributors, and publishers, and in their published letters and journals.] Athenaeum [London].
