THE MICROSCOPE. 47 
Tue RETAIL Druccist’s DIARY AND WANT Book. Frederick Stearns & Co, 
Detroit. 1884. 
This book, as seen by the title, is especially adapted to the 
wants of the druggist, although there are in it quantities of items of 
general value. It contains sixteen pages of important tables, a large 
quantity of scientific and political information, fifty-two pages of 
diary with space for each day of the year for entering memoranda, 
twelve pages for entering wants and purchases and a large number 
of pages of priced catalogues. This handy arrangement shows a 
good deal of labor and will be appreciated by all interested in the 
retail drug trade. 
THE ATLANTIC MONTHLY. Houghton, Mifflin & Co., Boston. 
The volume for 1884 starts with a very vigorous and fresh 
serial story “A Roman Singer,” which will run through the first six 
numbers of the year. It is the most welcome of news that during 
the year Oliver Wendell Holmes will contribute frequently to the 
volume. He now writes exclusively for The Atlantic. The first in- 
stallment of Dr. Weir Mitchell’s serial, “In War Times,” appears in 
the January number. This volume promises to be rich in all varie- 
ties of literary excellence. 
THE CENTURY. Midwinter number, February, 1884. The Century Co., Union 
Square N. Y. 
The midwinter number of this superior magazine is filled with 
the rarest and choicest material. Among the illustrations are “The 
Head of a Man,” by Rembrandt, engraved by T. Johnson; a portrait 
of Sheridan by the same engraver, and portraits of Dante. The 
wood-engraving art is shown to a fine degree in this number. It is 
surprising what the Century gives us in this line. Geo. B. McClellan, 
Geo. W. Cable, Edmund C. Stedman, and Salvini all contribute to 
make this a number hard to be excelled.
