WOODSIDE, BURNSIDE, HiLLSIDE, AND MaRSH. By J. W. 

 Tutt, F.E.S. Cr. 8vo, pp. v. — 241. (London : Swan Sonnenschein and Co. 

 1894.) 



Mr. Tutt, the author of Random Recollectiotis of Woodside, Fen, and Hill, 

 which we were pleased to notice a short time ago, records in the volume before 

 us, in very readable language, a few more of the interesting phenomena which 

 are to be observed everywhere around us by those who take the trouble to look 

 for them, and to give such explanation of their causes as may easily be under- 

 stood even by those whose scientific knowledge is small. The book is nicely 

 illustrated and thoroughly interesting. 



The Parish Councils' Act, 1894. A Popular Handbook 

 and complete guide to Elections of Parish Councillors, Rural and Urban Dis- 

 trict Councillors and Guardians. By J. Wallis Davies. Cr. 8vo, pp. xv. — 236. 

 (Bristol : J. Wright and Co. London : Simpkin, Marshall and Co. 1894.) 2/6. 



The author, who is Solicitor and Secretary to the Parish Councils' Associ- 

 ation, gives his information in the form of questions and answers, his object 

 being to explain and elucidate the somewhat complicated act in an interesting 

 and pleasing manner. We believe the information is very concisely given.

 of Faith of a Man of Science. By Ernst Haeckel. Translated from the 

 German by J. Gilchrist, M.A., B.Sc, Ph.D. Crown 8vo, pp. viii. — 117. 

 (London : Adam and Charles Black. 1894.) Price 1/6 net. 



The author declares his purpose to be twofold. First, to give expression to 

 that rational view of the world which is being forced upon us with such logical 

 vigour by the modern advancement of our knowledge of nature as a unity ; 

 and second. To establish a bond between religion and science. 



Hereafter and Judgment : The Satan of the Old Testa- 

 ment ; The Satan of the New Testament. By the Rev. W. H. Tucker. Cr. 

 pp. 237. (London : Elliot Stock. 1894.) 



We have read this book very carefully, but cannot say that we are pleased 

 with it. The author makes assertions which, to our lay mind, he does not prove. 



An Outline of the Principles of Modern Theosophy. By 

 Claude Falls Wright. Cr. 8vo, pp. 192. (Boston [U.S.A.] : New England 

 Theosophical Corporation. 1894.) 



Theosophy is to us an incomprehensible subject. The author here professes 

 to lay open the system which furnishes the key to every religion wherein is 

 buried the truth about our nature and destiny.
