The author tells us his main idea has been to give some simple, yet practi- 

 cal information and instruction on the preservation of individual or personal health 

 in the ordinary routine of domestic life. The book deserves careful reading.

 Wilkins, of Stanstead, Essex). Edited by Arthur H. Byng and Stephen M. 

 Stephens. Third edition, post 8vo, pp. 441. (London: T. F. Unwin. ) 2/6. 



Knowing Stanstead and the country round about well, we have read this

 plain, straightforward manner, evidently in keeping with his general character. 

 We wish that more keepers were like him.

 tures, with many good illustrations.
