Buxton: its Baths and Climate. By Samuel Hyde, L.R.C.P., 

 M.R.C.S. Crown 8vo, pp. xiii. — 134. (Manchester: John Heywood. 1889.) 



We have in this book a full account of the celebrated waters and climate 

 of Buxton, and a description of " The Huxton Thermal Cure," a new method 

 of carrying out the Buxton Treatment, with special chapters on Baths, 

 Bathing, and Massage ; also excursions round Buxton and the Peak. In this 

 portion of the work we have a description of Buxton in the past, the favourite 

 walks around Buxton, and six excursions in the neighbourhood. A map of the 

 town of Buxton is added to the book. 



The Cruise of the Betsey ; or, a Summer Holiday in the 

 Hebrides. With Rambles of a Geologist ; or. Ten Thousand Miles over 

 the Fossiliferous Deposits in Scotland. By Hugh Miller. Cr. 8vo, pp. iv. — 

 486. (Edinburgh : W. P. Nimmo. 1889.) Price 3s. 6d. 



A cheap and most interesting book, containing the account of a summer 

 ramble among the Hebrides by a well-known geologist. The book is readable 

 and instructive, and is written in such a simple, lucid style, that it cannot fail 

 to be read with pleasure even by those who know nothing of the science of 

 which the author was so distinguished a master. 



The Doubts of Dives. By Walter Besant. (Bristol : J. W. 



Arrowsmith. London : Simpkin, Marshall, and Co.) Price is. 



A novel in Mr. Besant's well known and much appreciated style. It is 

 healthy and stimulating to a higher life than that of mammon worship. 



Jane Eyre. By Charlotte Bronte, pp. 383. (London : 

 Walter Scott, 24, Warwick Lane. 1889.) Price is. 



This is one of the Camelot Series. It is needless to say anything in praise 

 of a book that retains its popularity for nearly 50 years after its tirst publication. 



Victims to Custom : A Temperance Tale. By Emily Foster. 

 Cr. ^8vo, pp. 285. (Manchester : Brook and Chrystal. London : Simpkin, 

 Marshall, and Co. 1889.) Price 2s. 6d. 



This is an interesting and instructive tale, and one well calculated to enlist 

 the sympathies of its readers for the temperance cause. 



Two Old Tales Retold. By Mona Noel Baton, illustrated 

 by Hubert Paton. 410, pp. no. (Edinburgh : Banks and Co. London : 

 Simpkin, Marshall, and Co.) Price 3s. 6d. 



The two tales are " Beauty and the Beast" and "Jack the Giant Killer." 

 Both stories, but especially the first, are told in a novel and interesting way. 

 The moral of the first is that the Beast loses his ugliness by trying to be good ; 

 and of the second, that we ought all to be giant-killers under the inspiration of 

 the virgin conscience. 



The Encore Reciter. Edited by F. E. Marshall Steele. 



pp. 128. (London : F. Warne and Co.) Price is. 



Contains about 90 readings from authors grave and gay. The authors are 

 all well known and justly celebrated, and the selections are likely to justify the 

 title of the book. 



Temperance History. By Dawson Burns, D.D. pp. 222. 

 Paper covers. (London : National Temperance Depot.) Price 2s. 



This is the first part of a History of Temperance, which is to be completed 

 in four parts. The present part embraces the period from the commencement 

 of the Temperance movement, in 1829, to 1842. The information is full, 

 clear, accurate, and authoritative, and the work, when completed, will be 

 invaluable to the student or lecturer.
