 F.E.S. With 345 Engravings on Wood; foolscap 8vo., cloth, 

 12s. 6d. London : John Churchill. 



Without giving the author credit for any originality, we are 

 fi'ee to state that this work is perhaps the most useful and cheap 

 compilation, which the tyro in Microscopic observation can pro- 

 cure. We however consider, that in view of previous publica- 

 tions, the large space which he has devoted to the history, me- 

 chanical construction and accessories of the microscope uncalled 

 for. The American edition, published by Blanchard & Lea, is, 

 we think, superior to the English.

 Methods of Preparing and Examining Animal, Vegetable, and 

 Mineral Structures. By John Quekett. Third edition, with

This is without doubt the most elaborate and extensive work 

 on general microscopic investigation which has appeared in our 

 language.
