THE POPULAR SCIENCE MONTHLY 



names of forty-seven mountains, of which 

 no published accounts existed, while many 

 of them were wholly unexplored, and sev- 

 eral even unnamed, have appeared in the 

 lists of the club. Of these there now re- 

 main but thirteen of which no description has 

 as yet appeared in " Appalachia."' Promi- 

 nent features of the work described in the 

 present number are the exploration of the 

 Twin Mountains, the construction of new 

 paths to the summits of Mounts Madison 

 and Adams, the expedition up the Wild 

 River Valley and the east branch of the 

 Pcmigcwasset to the summit of Mount La- 

 fayette, and more restricted but hardly less 

 interesting investigations. 



An Outline of Qualitative Analysis for 

 Beginners. By John T. Stoddard, Ph. 

 D., Professor of Chemistry in Smith 

 College. A. G. Carley, Northampton, 

 Mass. Pp. 54. Price, 75 cents. 



Students in a well-equipped qualitative 

 laboratory, who have the time of a compe- 

 tent instructor at their disposal, need little 

 help from a text-book. Some small book 

 containing the tests by which the several 

 bases and acids may be detected, and the 

 succesive steps of the system of analysis 

 which the instructor deems the best, is a ne- 

 cessity. Professor Stoddard's book belongs 

 to this class, and probably leaves more for 

 the student to work out under the guidance 

 of the instructor than any similar book yet 

 published. Thus, no equations are given, it 

 being a part of his method to require the 

 student to write these, and to draw up ana- 

 lytical tables for himself. He also requires 

 the devising of new methods of separa- 

 tion, thus introducing an element of original 

 work. 



The Advanced Question-Book. By Albert 

 P. Soutiiwick. Syracuse, N. Y. : C. W. 

 Bardeen. Pp. 360. Price, 1.50. 



This work includes in one volume the 

 " Dime " question-books on general litera- 

 ture, general history, astronomy, mythology, 

 rhetoric, botany, zoology, chemistry, geology, 

 and physics, with complete answers, notes, 

 queries, etc. While we should never think 

 of using such books in recitation, or of en- 

 couraging a teacher who used them there, 

 we can conceive that they arc admirable as 

 manuals for ready reference. 



Johns Hot-kins University Studies in His- 

 torical and Political Science. Her- 

 bert B. Adams, Editor. VI. Parish 

 Institutions in Maryland. By Edward 

 Ingle, A. B. Pp. 48. Price, 40 cents.

 Baltimore : Johns Hopkins University. 

 Price of the series, $3 for twelve num- 

 bers. 



The idea of this series is to bring to- 

 gether, in numbered monographs, kindred 

 contributions to historical and political sci- 

 ence, so that individual efforts may gain 

 strength by combination, and become more 

 useful as well as more accessible to stu- 

 dents. The Studies will be published at 

 monthly intervals, but not necessarily in 

 separate form. The present essays relate 

 to peculiar features in the political and social 

 organization of the Maryland colony, quite 

 different from those which distinguished 

 the New England organization, a correct 

 understanding of which may help to explain 

 some things in the history and present con- 

 dition of the State.
