The 1892 edition of "Brett's Auckland Almanac, Provincial Handbook and Diary " ia novv in the press, and the attention of advertisers is drawn by the publisher to a valuable nevr feature which ha 3 been intro duced. It is intended to extend the diary sections of the book to fifty-six pages, and to print these upon a good writing paper. This addition will make the book serve all the purposes of a business diary, contain' ing almanac, diary and commercial text book in one. The Customs, statistical, official and general information will, as heretofore, be complete and' carefully re vised. The tide tables have been calcu lated upon the system employed at, the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, in com piling the British Kautical Almanac, and their accuracy has secured the general adoption of these tables by ehipmasterb on the New Zealand coast. The additions to the Diary Will not circumscribe in any respect the other features of the book. The descriptive account of the Provincial Dis trict of Auckland is being re-written by competent writers, who are travelling throughout the districts described and noting the advances made in settlement in every direction. This account of the pro ducts, trade and resources of the Auckland Provincial District—its climate, scenery, mountains, harbours, rivers, and lakes ; it 3 forests and its plains; its cultivated and its waste lands—especially adapt the book for eendihg to friends and business clients abroad. As the book has now become a work of daily reference in the home of every settler throughout the province, and is in use in all public offices throughout the colony, and in many leading places abroad, it may with con fidence be described as the best per manent medium of advertising offered to business men. The work will be issued at the old pr'ce—ona suilliu?.
