8 MR. MURRAY’S LIST OF NEW WORKS. 
THE MOON: 
CONSIDERED AS A PLANET, A WORLD, AND A SATELLITE. 
BY JAMES NASMYTH; C.E., ann JAMES CARPENTER, F.R.A.S.,, 
Late of the Royal Observatory, Greenwich. 
With 24 Illustrations of Lunar Objects, Phenomena, and Scenery, produced from 
Drawings made with the aid of powerful Telescopes. 
Second Edition. 4to. 30s. 
“ The illustrations to this book are so admirable, so far beyond those one generally gets of any 
celestial phenomenon that one is tempted to refer to them jirst of all. No more truthful or 
striking representations have ever been laid before his readers by any student of science. 
“ But though I have given the first place to the illustrations, I by no means intend thereby to 
imply that the text is of secondary importance. In fact, the more carefully the text is read, the 
more obvious does it become that Mr. Nasmyth has used his drawings as a means to an end, and 
that he and Mr. Carpenter between them have produced a work which is not only avery beautiful 
and a very readable one, but one of some importance. It is altogether an admirable production.” 
—J. Norman Lockyer, F.R.S. 
PERSONAL RECOLLECTIONS FROM EARLY 
LIFE TO OLD AGE, 
BY MARY SOMERVILLE. 
WITH SELECTIONS FROM HER CORRESPONDENCE. 
Fourth Thousand. Portrait. Crown 8vo. 12s. 
“4 eharming book ; the story of the life of a remarkable and beautiful character, told, 
for the most part, in the tranquil evening of her well-spent days, by herself, with short 
additions here and there by her daughter, to complete the narrative. Few readers will put this 
volume aside after, what must always be, a pleasant perusal of its pages. without feeling that it 
has imparted, by a mysterious sympathy, much of the goodness which is diffused throughout it. 
Yet it is nothing more than the simple and honest examination of a career passed—with a few 
interruptions—even to its very end in the acqurement of knowledge.’ —ATHENEUM.

THE SHADOWS OF A SICK ROOM. 
Second Edition. With a Preface by CANON LIDDON. 
Post 8vo. 2s. 6d. 
“A thoughtful and well-weighted essay. The subject, though necessarily trite, and one 
which would encourage a commonplace writer to make obvious remarks, is treated with the fresh- 
ness that arises from personal experience. The author states what he has learned, not what he 
imagines sick people ought to learn. Many thoughts from the works of illustrious authors— 
divines, essayists, and poets—are interspersed. The author has caught the spirit of the men 
whom he honours, and there are occasionally passages of true eloquence in this unpretending 
volume.’—PaLL MALL GazeTTE.
