A Manual of Buhl-Work and Marquetry, with Practical 

 Instructions for Learners, and 90 coloured designs. By William Bemrose. 

 Third edition, 4to, pp. 32. (London : Bemrose and Sons.) Price 6s. 



This is published as a sequel to two other works — " Manual of Wood- 

 Carving " and " Fret-Cutting," and is written for the instruction of amateurs ; 

 the instructions being given in clear and simple language, free from all trade 

 technicalities, and accompanied by a series of progressive designs, which are 

 calculated to aid the student in the attainment of considerable excellence in 

 the art. In our estimation the professional wood-carver may study this book 

 to advantage. The coloured plates of designs are well executed.

The author tells us that his object is to impress upon the minds of 

 teachers the important question—" IIow shall I teach so as to have my pupils 

 become self-reliant, independent, manly men, and womanly women ? " And, 

 in plain language, he tells the teachers what to do as well as what to avoid. 

 His directions are simple, pointed, and emphatic.

 Deeds and Sufferings of Henry Hudson, etc. The book is very interesting 

 and nicely illustrated.
