216 REVIEWS. 



The Royal Natural History. Edited by Richard Lydeker, 

 B.A. , F.R.S., etc. (London : F. Warne and Co.) i/- monthly. 



Has now reached its 29th monthly part. The last two parts are devoted 

 almost exclusively to Fishes, of which there are four good coloured plates and 

 a great number of engravings. 



The New Photography. By Arthur B. Chatwood. Cr. 8vo, 



pp. 128. (London: Downing and Co. 1896.) Price l/- 



Here we have something quite new ; indeed, all the new developments in 

 photography are practically considered. There are chapters on the X Rays, 

 Colour Photography, Psychic Photography, Retinal Impressions, Spirit Photo- 

 graphy, and Anaglypa. The author appears to be well up in Electricity. This 

 is indeed a very up-to-date work, and will afford subject for much thought. 



The ABC of Modern (Dry-Plate) Photography. Cr. 8vo, 

 pp. viii. — 193. (London : The Stereoscopic and Photographic Co.) 



This well-known little book has reached its 24th edition, each of 5,000 

 copies, and gives a large amount of information, which, although specially 

 valuable to a beginner, will be useful to a more practised hand. It is well 

 illustrated. 



Bright and Son's ABC Descriptive Priced Catalogue of the 

 World's Postage Stamps, Envelopes, Post-Cards, etc. Cr. 8vo, pp. xiv. — 695. 

 (Bournemouth : Bright and Son. London : Simpkin, Marshall, and Co. 

 1896.) Price 1/9. 



Stamp collectors will find this a very convenient and useful catalogue. 

 The stamps of each country are arranged in chronological order, according to 

 the date of issue. There is a good money table and a reduced facsimile of all 

 the stamps. We regret that these, in many cases, are not so distinct as we 

 could have wished, being, as we suppose, photo-reproductions of the stamps 

 themselves instead of from engraved blocks. 



We have received from Messrs. Cassell and Co. : 



The Story of the Heavens. 



Science for All. 



Battles of the Nineteenth Century. 



European Butterflies and Moths.
