We have here a selection of some of the best writings of Bill Nye, 

 "Orpheus C. Kerr," " Mark Twain," Oliver Wendell Holmes, Will Carlton,

Common-Sense Euclid. Parts I. and II. By Rev. A. D. 

 Capel, M.A. Crown 8vo, pp. 155 + 140. (London: W. H. Allen. 1893.) 

 Price 2s. each. 



Part I. comprises Books I. and II., and Part II. Books III. and IV., each 

 with upwards of 300 graduated riders and hints for their solution, the object of 

 the author being to point out to teachers and students those portions of the 

 treatise which either present difficulties to the beginner or perhaps escape their 

 notice altogether. An analysis of the problems is given in every case, and 

 some of the theorems are also worked backwards. We believe these books to 

 be most useful. 



Practical Solid Geomeirv. By J. Payne. 121110, pp. vii.- — 



206 + 48. (London : Thomas Murley. ) Price 2s. 



This is one of Murby's useful Science and Art Department series of text- 

 books. It is of a twofold character, being at the same time an elementary and 

 an advanced work, forming a complele guide to the study of Projection for 

 Draughtsmen, and is calculated to qualify for a first-class pass in the advanced 

 stage of the Science and Art Department. To this book is added Graphic 

 Arithmetic and Statics, by J. J. Price, in which will be found much neces- 

 sary information both for the elementary and advanced stages. We believe a 

 key to the entire work is published.

 taneous, Flash-Light, Orthochromatic, and Composite Photography ; Tables,
