Equal Space for Sundays. THE CONCISE DIARIES are made both in "Upright" and "Oblong " form, and in Three sizes of each form. Only one part (Three Months) need be carried in the pocket at once. OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. "By a capital arrangement, the maximum amount of writing space is secured in these handy little books, with the minimum amount of weight, by the simple expedient of changing the Diary every quarter, instead of only once a year."-Daily Telegraph. "The Concise Diaries are singularly good in the four-part arrangement, and the finish of the leather-work leaves nothing to be desired, whilst a new patent bolt lock, which cannot readily be put out of order, stamps the present issue as the most complete series yet published."—Standard. "The Diary pages are furnished separately in quarterly parts, and are much smaller and handier than they would otherwise be. It is a very good plan."-Pall Mall Gazette. "Elegant and tasteful little pocket-books, with movable diaries, divided into quarterly parts so as to save room. We have never seen anything betterif so good-of the kind."-Fun. "The Concise Diaries are as convenient in form as they are beautiful in appearance."-Globe. "Like everything published by this firm, the Concise Diary is handsome and handy. The Diary itself being divided into four parts, the well got-up Russia leather case, in which it is enclosed, makes the book much more eligible for the pocket than the majority of so-called pocket diaries."--Sportsman. "The diary is in arrangement perfect for keeping a cash account, memoranda, and engagements, besides containing a deal of useful information. It is bound in a strong Russia pocket-book, making altogether as good a present as one would wish to give or receive on New-Year's Day."-Hour. Post.
