THE POPULAR SCIENCE MONTHLY. 



The Physician's Visiting List for 1884. 



Philadelphia : P. Blakiston & Co. Price, 



$1. 



This, as the title implies, is a sort of 

 annual hand-book or note-book for doctors, 

 which now reappears in the thirty-third year 

 of its publication. It is in a compact and 

 convenient form, and is arranged for twenty- 

 five patients weekly. Its dose -table has 

 been revised to accord with the late changes 

 in the Pharmacopoeia, and has a list ap- 

 pended with suggestions for their exhibition. 

 There are several other tables for ready 

 reference, and aids for calculation, and the 

 leaves for addresses, memoranda, etc., are 

 arranged upon a plan at once simple and 

 comprehensive. There are more advertise- 

 ments included than it seems necessary for 

 a physician to carry round in his pocket. 



The Handy Book of Object - Lessons. 

 From a Teacher's Note-Book. By J. 

 Walker. Philadelphia: J. B. Lippin- 

 cott & Co. Pp. 129. $1.25. 



This work is intended as an aid to 

 teachers, in furnishing them with material 

 for their lessons, and suggestions as to the 

 way it may be used. The matter is ruled 

 into two columns one, headed " Matter," 

 containing the information to be imparted, 

 while the other, headed "Method," is in- 

 tended, not to be dogmatically adhered to, 

 but to furnish what may serve as specimens 

 of the various expedients to which teachers 

 may resort. Two series of lessons are fur- 

 nished. In the first series are given lessons 

 on the animal, vegetable, and mineral king- 

 doms, and, in the second series, lessons on 

 physiology, physical geography, and manu- 

 factures; besides which, each series con- 

 tains a department of "Miscellaneous " les- 

 sons. 



King's Hand-Book of Boston. Cambridge, 

 Mass. : Moses King. Pp. 360. $1. 



This work is designed to describe every 

 noteworthy feature and institution of Bos- 

 ton. The subjects are systematically ar- 

 ranged, beginning with a sketch of the his- 

 tory of the city, after which are described 

 the " Arteries," the " Arms " (railroads, 

 steamers, etc.), the " Hotels and Restau- 

 rants," the " Public Buildings," and so on, 

 through the list. The matter is periodically 

 revised, so as to bring the successive edi- 



tions of the book up to the time of their 

 issue. The whole furnishes a comprehen- 

 sive and useful account of a very interest- 

 ing city, presented in the best typographical 

 style, with illustrations worthy of their sub- 

 ject.
