10:^in. X 7iin., pp. 2 unnumbered (Introduction, signed "N. S. M.") 

 + 130. The introduction explains the scope of the work : " Inasmuch 

 as a county dairy school is a part of a system of technological instruction, 

 it has been deemed advisable ... to supplement this bare ex- 

 planation of the meaning of common terms (in the Glossary, Part I.) by 

 some further articles in which certain fundamental principles of physics 

 are treated and the composition of milk and the changes it undergoes 

 during manipulation in the dairy are discussed in a simple manner . . . 

 and in a supplement . . . some fundamental ideas that have to 

 be formed on the very threshold of chemistry are explained for the 

 advantage of such students, however few, who may be drawn on by the 

 interest of the whole subject before them to seek some solid foundation 

 for the study of the somewhat complicated chemistry of milk, and 

 therewith, perhaps, to be attracted to further acquaintance with the 

 methods and results of science." 



The book is a most complete handbook within the limits assumed by 

 the author, and is excellently printed and got up. 



The Forbears of Richard JefFeries, by Jefferies Luckett, 



article in Country Life, March 14th, 19(»8, pp. 373—376. The author 

 deprecates the stress which all writers on Richard Jefferies have laid on 

 his poverty. " It is true that a superfluity of this world's goods was not 

 the portion of this particular family ; but the home was a comfortable 

 one, a freehold farm, and until later years, when Richard was able to 

 fend for himself, there was a sufficiency for all needs." A good deal of 

 information as to the family — the author is himself a relative— is given, 

 and there are four good illustrations, a portrait of Richard Jefferies as a 

 young man from a photo, Coate Farm, tlie original home of the 

 Jefferies family, and the Sun Inn before the fire, all three from old 

 sketches.
