From an advance copy of the new ‘Debrett' it is possible to get a full record of the honours bestowed during this remarkable year. To this valuable work the names of 530 new peers, privy councillors, baronets, knights, and companions or members of the various orders have been added. The number exceeds by over 100 that gazetted in the Jubilee year of 1887. and this in spite of the fact that the usual birthday’ list of honours was dispensed with in view of the June celebrations. As an instance of the labour involved in preparing ‘Debrett’ it may Lie mentioned that 40.000 proofs have been submitted to correspondents all over the world.
