this series — ^.,^. , Foreign Weights have been reduced to those more generally 

 used — grammes to ounces, drachms, grains, etc., and Centigrade degrees to 

 Fahrenheit, both appearing side by side. An Index has been added to each 

 volume, besides the complete triple index at the end of the entire work, which 

 alone occupies loi pages. Two departments have been added : " Examination 

 for Life Insurance," and " Railway Neuroses." The general appearance of the 

 entire work has been much improved.

An Introduction to Chemical Science. By R. P. Williams, 

 A.M., and B. P. Lascelles, M.A., F.G.S. Post 8vo, pp. viii. — 223. (London : 

 Ginn and Go. 1889.) Price 3s. 6d. 



Although this is not what is generally understood as a Text-book of 

 Chemistry, it gives a very complete outline of the science, and will consequently 

 doubtless prove of much value to the student. The body of the work is divided 

 into sixty chapters, treating more or less on all subjects to which the student is 

 required to give his attention. It is nicely illustrated. 



A Glossary of Anatomical, Physiological, and Biological 



Terms. By the late Thomas Dunman. Edited and supplemented with an 

 Appendix by V. H. Wyatt Wingrave, M.R.C.S., etc. Crown 8vo, pp. 187. 

 (London : Griffith, Farran, O'Keden, and Co. 1889.) 



This book will be found most useful to the student; it gives the pronuncia- 

 tion, derivation, and definition of all those terms usually employed in Biological 

 Science. The accented syllable in each word is marked, and when necessary 

 the long and short vowel-signs are given. We notice also that letters silent in 

 pronunciation are printed in italics. The Greek roots where given are printed 

 in English characters, which we consider a great advantage, and we trust the 

 book will be found useful for students preparing for the examinations of the 

 Science and Art Departments and other examining bodies. 



The Causes, Treatment, and Cure of Stammering. By 



A. G. Bernard, M.R.C.S., L.R.C.P Post 8vo, pp. vi.— 71. (London: 

 J. & A. Churchill. 1889.) Price 2s. 



This book is not the production of a " Quack," but of a Physician, 

 who having been an inveterate stammerer himself, describes briefly, but clearly, 

 the method by which he cured himself. The method of cure seems simple and 

 certain, provided always that the patient has the patience, perseverance, and 

 resolution of the writer. Unless the stammerer has, or endeavours to acquire, 

 the above virtues, we fear that, in spite of this or any other method of cure, 

 he will stammer still. However, what man has done, man may do, and we 

 trust that some of the thousands of stammerers of our land may have the 

 writer's uerseverance and success.
