THE GREEN BaG, A USELESS BUT ENTERTAINING MAGAZINE FOR 
LAWYERS.—LEdited by Horace. W. Fuller, 154 Beacon street, Bos- 
ton. August, 1889. 
Although primarily intended for the amusement of lawyers, 
this magazine should be a welcome guest at any library table. 
It is certainly one of the brightest, sprightliest and most enter-

Mrcroscope’s book-table. Well edited, beautifully printed, finely

Marshall D. Ewell, who is well known to the readers of THE 
Mrcroscopr. The Green Bag deserves every success.

Epiror THE MIcRoscoPE :— 
It seems"to me that “An Amateur,” in his article on the “ Mi- 
croscope Stand,” in the August number, is too sweeping in his 
condemnation of instruments of the continental pattern, with 
short tubes. I am aware that Gulliver says that in the dis-
