COAST ALMANAC FOE 1873. OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. KELSON COLONIST. Wo have received a copy of Messrs Keid nnd Co.'s almanac tor 1873, and can fairly recommend it as containing a largo amount of useful information, specially selected for the trading and mining communities of the and therefore valuable for reference everywhere. The type, arrangement, and general " get-up" is very creditahle, and this the fifth yearly publication of work, is even better than the good ones that preceded it. NELSON EXAM WEB. We have received a copy of the " West Coast Almanac and Directory for 1873," published at Westport and Greymouth hy lleid and Co. Besides the calendar, it contains about 180 pages of information of a highly useful and varied character, including a full directory for the West Coast towns, rolls for the different electoral districts, mercantile and mining statistics, and much general intelligence. So useful and complete is the work, that it must prove highly serviceable to all persons having business with the West Coast, or seeking information in respect to it. WEST COAST TIMES. It is excellently compiled, and will be found to be a valuable book of reference on many local matters of interest. In alluding to the Almanac for IS7I the same paper says : —The almanac is one of the most admirably compiled issues of the kind that we have yet seen produced on the Coast. Besides the usual calendar there are 150 pages of mining, mercantile, and other information, hesides any number of tables, " useful hints," and such items as constitute that valuable volume "inquire Within." The paper and letler-press are in keeping with the excellence of the production otherwise. The printing and preparation of the work were done by Keid and Co., of Westport, but the contents are apparently made applicable to general use on the West Coast, or in similar mining districts."

This is the fifth year of publication, and each succeeding volume appears to be a considerable improvement upon its predecessor. As. a hand-bood of useful information appertaining to the portion of (lie Colony where it is intended to circulate, its usefulness cannot be over-estimated, while in its general information the " West Coast Almanac" will not bear unfavorable comparison with any of the more pretentious almanacs published in the colony.
