— P. Blakiston, Son, & Co., Philadelphia, have nearly ready 



a reprint of Gower's (W.R.) " Manual of Nervous Diseases," sec- 

 ond edition, issued here by special arrangement with the author. 

 They have just published Greig Smith's "Abdominal Surgery," 

 fourth edition; Muskett's " Prescribing and Treatment in Diseases 

 of Children ; " Blair's '* The Organic Analysis of Potable Waters," 



second edition; and will issue very shortly *' A Manual of Autop-

 "Therapeutics," and a volume on " Diseases of the Throat, Nose, 

 and Ear," containing a large number of colored wood engrav-

 burgh. 



— Ginn & Co. announce " Outline of Lessons in Botany, for the 

 Use of Teachers, or Mothers studying with Their Children," by 

 Jane H. Newell, Part II. : " Flower and Fruit." The course 

 begins early in March with the crocuses and other early bulbous 

 plants, and continues with lessons on some common house-plants, 

 in order that the pupil may be familiar with the ordinary botani- 

 cal terms before taking up the spring wild-flowers. Spring flow- 

 ers are then studied, in the order of their blooming, together witb 

 the forest trees, the blossoming fruit-trees, and some of our com- 

 mon weeds. These studies are not analytic only, but deal with 

 the life-habits of the plants, their adaptations for fertilization, 

 dissemination, and protection. Lessons on the stamens, the pis- 

 til, inflorescence, the fruit, and other topics are given in connec- 

 tion with the flower studies. The book aims to encourage habits, 

 of correct observation, and suggests points for the class to investi- 

 gate. The book will be found valuable to persons studying by 

 themselves, as it contains copious references to the literature of 

 the subject, as well as original studies. The book contains a 

 classification chart including sixty families.
