“Tt is a source of lively satisfaction to me to have been chosen as the medium of intro- 
ducing to the English public the late lamented author of the following Lectures and Essays, 
one of the most original thinkers Germany has produced in recent times, and the ‘ greatest of 
her philologers,’ as he has been styled by a competent judge. His work itself, however, will 
best speak for him, and needs no commendation on my part. Let me only add that, though 
these Lectures and Essays, now submitted to the English reader, are but ‘chips’ from the 
author’s workshop, as it were, yet I believe they afford a good glimpse of his eminent powers 
and brilliant genius as an investigator.” EXTRACT FROM TRANSLATOR’S PREFACE.

AN ACCOUNT OF THE POLYNESIAN RACE: 
Lis Origin and Migrations. 
By A. FORNANDER. 
**Tt is so seldom that a private settler in the Polynesian Islands takes an intelligent interest 
in local ethnology and archzeology, and makes use of the advantage he possesses, that we feel 
especially thankful to Mr. Fornander for his labours in this comparatively little-known field of 
research.”’—Acadeny.

MONOGRAMS 
OF THREE OR MORE LETTERS. 
Designed and Drawn on Stone 
By CHARLES DE FLANDRE, F.S.A. Scot., Edinburgh. 
Having for many years given much attention to Monogram-drawing, the author now 
offers a collection of Original Designs, so systematized as to form not only a useful Work of 
Reference for Designers, but a book which will, at the same time, be interesting to Amateurs 
and Collectors of Works relating to the art of Monogram Design. 
The work consists of forty-two sheets, each containing nine monograms. There are two 
sheets of A in combination with other letters, two sheets of B in combination with other 
letters, and so on throughout the alphabet. Of each of the letters K, QO, X, YZ, , which occur 
more varely, there is but one sheet. It will be seen that anyone wishing to form a .three- 
letter monogram will, by taking the two sheets of each letter, have no less than Jifty-four 
different designs to work from. In no monogram are the letters reversed.
