The name Whitaker has become world. famous, ever since Joseph Whitaker, F.8.A published his first Almanack in 1868, and the name is now known wherever English is spoken. The work sells i every part of the civilized globe. Let discussion arise between disputants, and as a matter of course the final arbitra- inent will be left to "Whitaker." Like numerous illier English concerns, the Whitakers have only recently realised the to the needs of the market outside the importance of accommodating their wares British Isles. Their Almanack has sold here for years, but it was a purely British edition, with a quantity of detail possessing little interest to anyone out- side the United Kingdom. The year 1972 has witnessed a revolution.
