manifest honesty, shows, as other works have shown, that an anti- 

 scientific believing frame of mind is essential to what is called 

 spiritualistic success. 



Tape Worms ; Human Entozoa : Their Sources, Nature, and 

 Treatment. By T. Spencer Cobbold, M.D., E.R.S., Lecturer at 

 Middlesex Hospital. (Longmans.) — We suppose Mr. Cobbold hopes 

 to tempt readers by this little volume to study his large work on 

 Entozoa. We should not have thought it worth while to publish 

 the present small treatise, which is little more than a portion of the 

 larger work. 



Electricity. By Robert M. Ferguson, Ph.D., of the Edinburgh 

 Institution. (Chambers.) — This volume, which forms part of 

 " Chambers' Educational Course," is a compact and well arranged 

 treatise on the subject indicated by its title. Magnetism, Frictional 

 Electricity, Galvanism, Electro-dynamics, Electro-magnetism, Mag- 

 netic Electricity, Thermo-Electricity, and Practical Applications of 

 Current Electricity, are treated of in separate chapters, and praise- 

 worthy pains seem to have been taken to bring the whole fairly 

 down to date. 



A Dictionary op Science, Literature, and Art. Comprehending 

 the Definitions and Derivations of Terms in General Use, together 

 with the History and Descriptions of the Scientific Principles of 

 nearly every branch of Human Knowledge. Edited by the late 

 W. T. Brands, D.C.L., E.R.S.L. and E., of Her Majesty's Mint, and 

 the Rev. George William Cox, M.A., late Scholar of Trinity Coll., 

 Camb. Part X. (Longmans.) — The present number, finishing 

 "Radient Heat," and progressing as far as "Rules," contains many 

 excellent papers supplying the information most likely to be needed 

 by those who resort to a Cyclopaedia. 



The Anthropological Review. Journal of the Anthropological 

 Society, and Popular Magazine of Anthropology, Part XIV. (July, 

 1866). (Triibner.) — Contains some interesting papers ; and though 

 we should, in a detailed review, repeat some of our old objections, we 

 think this magazine is improving, and it certainly deserves credit 

 for calling popular attention to a highly important and neglected 

 class of subjects. 



Date Stones; or, Mnemonics op General and Constitutional 

 History and op Literature. By ISTewenham Travers, B.A., for- 

 merly scholar of Lincoln College, Oxford. London. — This book, 

 small in dimensions but important in contents, is published by the 

 Author at his own residence, 25, Tolmers Square, X.W. ; we 

 suppose he has not published it in the usual way because he has 

 especially designed it to assist in a short series of lessons of which 

 we find a notice accompanying the book. Mr. Travers is well 

 known to hundreds of young men educated at University College 

 School, in which he was for many years a remarkably able teacher. 

 The subject matter of his "Date Stones " is well selected, both for 

 general students and for those who desire to pass examinations for 

 the civil service or for university certificates. The mnemonic plan 

 is substantially the same as that employed by Dr. Grey, but worked 

 out with much originality. Mr. Travers dissents from Dr. Pick's
