Mr. Joseph W. Oliver’s Elementary —_ is a really good book. 
Remembering his great namesake and A is popular book, we almost 
regret that Mr. Oliver did not present it aides a different t name— 
Roland or another. Being a good book,—there is — better 
among elementary works, except Prof. Oliver’ s,—and certain to 
become popular, it is really to be regretted that there is ‘his ri 
of confusion. At the an time, a buyer will suffer arm 
either case. Mr. Joseph W. Oliver writes clearly and attractively ; 
his book is oxallenthy meting, anid capitally illustrated. It w 
be excellent advice to a beginner who wished to know swhich 
and excellent information on both the external sceghehas and 
the minute structure and functions. It dosatvek the widest success.
