of " Domestic Duties." 1 thick vol. 8vo. illustrated with nearly 1000 Woodcuts. 50s. cl. 
*'TAe title-page sufficiently indicates the wide range of topics included in this most ttseful 
Enci/cIopcediUf and all are treated loith a fulness which leaves nothing to be desired. It has 
been the object of the editor to combine science with practice, a knowledge of principles with 
the ordinary details and daily recurring duties of domestic life. In some departments of the 
work Mr. Webster has been assisted by a lady whose gualijicaiions are beyond dispute, and 
the result of their united labours is the production of a volume which exhausts the subject, 
and defies all competition. The work is richly illustrated with woodcuts, adding greathj to 
its value. We strongly recommend every ladii, and all others who are concerned in the 
management of domestic affairs, to 7nake themselves familiar with Mr. Webster'' s volume, which 
must speedily be regarded as an indispensable book of reference to every housekeeper.'''

the Mental Operations ; 3. On the Management of Lunatic Asylums. By A. L. Wigan, Rl.D, 
8vo. 12s. cloth. 
" The volume is full of knotcledge, and the Autlior'' s'remnrks, even when he fails to convince, 
are strikingly acute and ingenious. We apprehend that none who take an interest in the 
physical structure of the brain, and its intellectual action, or even who have a desire to 
ameliorate the condition of the insane, will delay to consult a tvork ichich contains views 
singularly original and sai(acious on all those subjects. Combining from the writings of the 
most distinguished men who have studied the anatomy, the mental action, and the derange- 
ment of the brain, all the light their studies have enabled them to collect, ivith that derived 
from extensive experience of his own, Dr. Wigan concentrates it into a focus, and pours it 
out upon his pages.'''' — Britannia.
