exhaustive manner. We would advise all to buy and study this book who wish 

 to know about that important vast ocean, or rather world, which envelops our 

 earth, and which has so much to do with the life, health, and happiness of its 

 inhabitants. 



The Oxford Planisphere. By C. Pritchard, D.D., F.R.S. 



(London : Henry Frowde, Clarendon Press Warehouse. 1890.) Price 5s. 



In small space we have in a very comprehensive form set before us a large 

 amount of astronomical knowledge. The Planisphere consists of a moveable 

 map of the Northern Celestial Hemisphere, a South Polar map, etc. This is 

 a very compact and valuable little work. 



Physiognomy and Expression. By F. Mantegazza. Crown 



8vo, pp. X. — 318. (London : Walter Scott.) Price 3s. 6d. 



This book is utterly unlike most books on the subject. It treats the 

 matter scientifically, and discards, or seeks to discard, everything that observa- 

 tion and experience do not confirm. Those who desire easy and infallible 

 rules for judging their own or other people's character will be disappointed ; 

 but those who wish to study the general indications of character given by the 

 features will be interested in this work. 



Evolution and Disease. By J. Bland Sutton. Crown 8vo, 

 pp. xiii. — 285. (London : Walter Scott. 1890.) Price 3s. 6d. 



In this interesting volume of the "Contemporary Science Series," the 

 author shows, by some carefully-worded examples, that there is a natural his- 

 tory of disease as well as of plants and animals. The twelve chapters into 

 which the work is divided treat of The Enlargement of Parts from increased 

 use ; Disuse and its effects ; The Transmission of Malformations and Acquired 

 Defects ; Anatomical Peculiarity of the Teeth in relation to Injury and Disease ; 

 Causes of Disease, etc. etc. There are 135 illustrations. 



Nature and Revelation. By the Rev. C. Pritchard, D.D., 

 F.R.S. (London : John Murray. 1889.) Price 7s. 6d. 



This book consists of 11 Sermons by a learned scientific man and a devout 

 Christian, and will be read with interest and advantage by every enquiring 

 mind. 



Such subjects as The Continuity of the Schemes of Nature and Revela- 

 tion ; Aspects of Nature in relation to Miracles and Providence ; Difiiculties 

 of Belief — the ]\Iiracle of the Sun Standing Still ; the Star of the Magi ; and 

 the Creation, are treated in a most able and satisfactory manner, and cannot 

 fail to give help and comfort to many who may have felt difficulties with 

 regard to these subjects. 



The Salt Cellars, Vol. II. By C. H. Spurgeon. Crown 

 8vo, pp. 367. (London : Passmore and Alabaster. 1889.) 



A continuation of Rev. C. H. Spurgeon's Collection of Proverbs, together 

 with Plomely notes thereon. Vol. II. covers from M to Z, thus completing the

The Magazine of Poetry : A Quarterly Review. Illustra- 

 ted. Crown 4to. pp. 510. Edited and published by Charles Wells Moulton, 

 Buff-alo, N.Y. (U.S.A.) 1889. 



Mr. Moulton has not only attempted, but has most creditably accomplished 

 a grand work. In it we find between 900 and 1,000 complete poems of no 

 mean order, and upwards of 400 quotations. To this work some 500 poets 

 have contributed, and it is embellished with plates in every conceivable style of 

 Mechanical printing, as Steel engravings. Photo engraving, etc., of some 60 

 or more very excellent portraits, besides a number of other beautiful illustra- 

 tions.
