THE GUIDE TO NATURE LITERARY NOTES 



A Popular Handbook to the Microscope, 



By Lewis Wright. London: The Religious 



Tract Society. 



This is the only book on the microscope 

 published from the standpoint of religious 

 interest that has come to the reviewer's desk. 

 The author says : 



"The Microscope, then, has deserved well 

 of the Christian believer; and it is to be 

 lioped that this may not be the last work the 

 Religious Tract Society may see fit to publish 

 concerning the marvels it unfolds to us, upon 

 which part of the subject very limited space 

 has prevented any enlargement in this little 

 volume." 



This is indeed a good point of view and 

 merits heart}' commendation from our Asso- 

 ciation whose motto is "Per Naturam ad 

 Deum." The book is up-to-date, convenient, 

 and contains good material in concise form.

war has brought forth. Li the preface we 

 read : 



"The European War of 1914-15 has con- 

 centrated the mind of the world, by a sad 

 necessity, upon the military forms of pa- 

 triotism. The present pamphlet seeks to 

 emphasize the non-aggressive aspects of 

 love and service of one's country. " 



The true scientific method in bringing 

 out ''love and service" is shown in this 

 pamphlet. To be conscious of keen patriot- 

 ism in the activities of life is noble, but let 

 patriotism prove grander results than 

 through bloodshed! 



Air. Gould is an English author and lec- 

 turer. He has devoted his life to pioneer 

 work for humanity. 



The pamphlet may be used by both 

 teachers and speakers. It is filled with 

 ideas for both old and young. 



An Illustrated Catalogue of American In-

 Edited by E. P. Felt, Nassau, Rensselear 

 County, New York. 



This interesting publication was needed. 

 It fills an important and previously unoc- 

 cupied field. Its pictures of a large number 

 of galls will be convenient in getting the 

 names but it is to be regretted that more 

 matter descriptive of galls has not been in- 

 cluded to teach us something more about 

 them. The book neglects to tell what a 

 gall is. 



Alanj' years' experience with boys and 

 girls has shown that galls are interesting 

 objects to them. They are intrinsically in- 

 teresting to everybody. Why does not 

 some one write a book to tell what they 

 are and to describe the insects that cause 

 them, their life historj- as well as the struc- 

 ture of the plant malformation?
