TOLD IN VERSE BY AN INDIAN BUDDHIST, 
By EDWIN ARNOLD, C.S.I., Author of ‘‘ The Indian Song of Songs.” 
““Mr, Edwin Arnold’s poem, the ‘Light of Asia,’ is the most sympathetic account ever 
published in Europe of the life and teaching of the Sakya Saint, Prince Gautama Siddartha, 
the Lord Buddha. . . . Itis beyond the scope of the present review to enter into any 
explanation of the Diarma (Law of Righteousness), Karma, Wirvana, and other tenets and 
precepts of Buddhism. They will be found summed up in Buddha’s ‘Sermon on the Mount,’ 
the poetical paraphrase of which in Mr. Arnold’s ‘ Light of Asia’ is one of the most interesting 
chapters of his book.” — 77zmes.

THE RACES OF AFGHANISTAN; 
BEING 
A Brief Account of the Principal Nations inhabiting that Country. 
By Surgeon-Major H. W. BELLEW, C.S.I., 
Late on Special Political Duty at Kabul. 
Dr. BELLEW says: ‘‘/¢ 7s more to our present purpose to consider who the people are with whom, 
under the comprehensive term of Afghan, we are now brought into direct contact, and whom it will 
ere very long be our inevitable duty to govern as subjects of our Indian Empire. Of the necessity of 
this issue of our past and present dealings with this country there is no longer any advantage in 
blinking the conviction. And the sooner we declare our will, the more promptly well the people accept 
| the situation, and accommodate themselves to the new regime of British rule, justice, and protection.”

ALPHABETICAL MANUAL OF BLOWPIPE ANALYSIS. 
Showing all known Methods, Old and New. 
By W. A. ROSS, Lieut.Colonel, late R.A., 
Member of the German Chemical Society, Author of “Pyrology; or, Fire Chemistry.” 
ss . . The present volume and its predecessor, ‘ Pyrology,’ are, we believe, the 
only original and independent contributions to Blowpipe Chemistry which England has pro- 
duced for at least half-a-century.”—Chemical News. 
One of our most original and neglected metallurgists (MAKINS) writes :—‘‘ For qualitative 
metallurgical examinations the blowpipe is ‘valuable, for by it we can command an immediate 
intense heat, perfectly variable at pleasure as to the nature of its action and effects ; and, more- 
over, can work with the greatest facility and certainty upon masses of material far too minute 
for any other kind of manipulation.” 
Prof. HuxLey says :—-‘‘If scientific training is to yield its most eminent results, it must be 
made practical. Don’t be satisfied with telling a student that a magnet attracts iron. Let him 
feel the pull for himself.”
