NOTICES OF BOOKS. 157 
The letterpress, as far as it goes, is accurate ; and the book is above 
the average of such works. The authoress, Mrs. Ward, modestly 
conceals her name under the ed B. 0: We 
Messrs. Cassell have re-issued, very low price considering 
the goodness of the book, the pe Rete of Figuier’s Vegetable 
World’ for which Mr. Dyer i is understood to be responsible, and 
which, as might be expected from this fact, is an exceedingly useful 
little volume. W d it at some length in this Journal for 1872 
(pp. 347-349), and need not do more now than endorse the favourable 
opinion there expressed. We note that certain small errors have 
been corrected. For the general reader it is a very useful pat 
and the numerous and beautiful Halbetcns make it a ve 
attractive one.
