"Titles: a guide to the Right Use of British Titles and Honours." By Armiger. (Messrs. A.C. Black Ld-, Soho Square, London, W1-

"Armiger" has taken great pains in setting forth the correct uso of titles, and has produced a useful and interesting little work of reference which should be of particular value to writers. This aristocratic field is full of pitfalls for the unwary, but with such a careful guide at command, the uninitiated may safely, even boldly, venture on its paths. All ranks and distinctions are dealt with, from a Marquis to a Mayor, their status defined and forms of address in speech and writing given, with clearness and adequacy of detail. An excellent: addition to the Reference shelf.
