The next best work of the kind is Havana Dictionary of Dates:-— Ilaydn's, however, being in no degree as comprehensive as Townsend's. A statement of accuracy of which is, easily enough, demonstrable. For-whereas Haydn's Dictionary in his latest (the 127 edition (published in 1866), there may be found 5,743 articles arranged alphabetically—in Townsend's new edilir (the 2nd), published this year (1867), there are upwards of eleren thousand (11,045) articles, also arranged alphalitically.
