 founded mainly on the materials collected by the Philological Society. Edited 

 by James A. H. Murray. D to Deceit, commencing Vol. 3 ; F to Fang, 

 commencing V^ol. 4, by Henry Bradley, Hon. M.A. Oxon. (Oxford : The 

 Clarendon Press. 1894.) Price 3/6 and 2/6. 



These two parts are compiled with the same care as has marked all the 

 previous issued parts. The past and present method of spelling, with illus- 

 tration of its use, are given of every word from the loth century. The letters 

 A, B, C and E have already been published, and we are pleased to notice 

 that one section, at least of each of the letters D and F, will be published 

 quarterly during 1895, at 2/6 each part. It is a grand work. 



McDougall's Higher Grade Arithmetic in Theory and 

 Practice. Cr. 8vo, pp. vi. — 199. (London : McDougall's Educational Co., 

 4 Ludgate Square.) 



In this book, the author has reasoned out and demonstrated to pupil 

 teachers and others so much of the science of arithmetic as is needed for exam- 

 inations in the Education Department. Commercial Arithmetic has received 

 special attention, and a chapter is devated to the Metric System. 



A New School Method. Part 3. How to teach the class 



subjects — Geography, Grammar, History, and Elementary Science. By 

 Joseph H. Cowham. Cr. 8vo, pp. 376. (London : Westminster School Book 

 Depot and Simpkin, Marshall and Co. 1894.) Price 1/6. 



On a former occasion, we noticed the first two volumes of this series. 

 The object of the author is to show how the teacher may combine the highest 

 training, with the best instruction. We are struck with the simplicity of the 

 method employed, and with the possible satisfactory results. There are a 

 number of helpful illustrations. 



A Monograph of the Land and Fresh-Water MoUusca of the 

 British Isles. By John W. Taylor, F.S.S., with the assistance of W. D. Roe- 

 buck, the late Chas. Ashford, and others. Part I. October, 1894. (Leeds : 

 Taylor Bros.) Price 6/-, or by subscription 5/- (5/3 post free.) 



The object in issuing the present work is to bring together, as far as prac- 

 ticable, all reliable information bearing on the study, and thus form a standard 

 work of reference as well as a reliable text book upon British Land and Fresh 

 water shells. The first volume will be devoted to the general treatment of the 

 subject, the different forms and characters of the shells, the morphology of the 

 animal and description of the structure and functions of the various organs of 

 its body. 



The work is profusely illustrated, there being 138 wood cuts and one 

 coloured plate in the first part. We are desired to state that the author will be 

 pleased to receive assistance from Microscopists and Micro-photographers on 

 the subjects of dentition, microscopic structure, and other peculiarities. The 

 work promises to be a very important one, and we hope to refer to it again in 

 our next.
