The work before us goes thorougly into the subject on which it treats and 

 is profusely illustrated with a great number of well-executed photo-mechanical 

 plates. The author directs special attention to the classification of the different

 include all in seven different general classes with sub-divisions, each of which 

 has been described with a very considerable degree of painstaking care. In 

 this work there are 45 excellent plates, each showing on an average 4 distinct 

 figures.
