house. Crown 8vo. $s. net . 
Journal of Education . We are very favourably impressed by Mr 
Latter’s book, and the author is to be congratulated on having produced 
an excellent work.... Much praise is due to the illustrations and to the 
careful way in which the lettering has been done. We can confidently 
recommend the book to teachers of science. 
Nature. An excellent book, written by a man who is equally in his 
element whether he writes as an outdoor naturalist or as a laboratory 
student. This combination is by no means a common one, and it is just 
the combination that is wanted for a book of this kind.... Altogether the 
book is an admirable one. 
Athenceum. A book that may be judiciously placed in the hands of 
any boy who evinces a reasonable interest in the animal life around him. 
The Classification of Flowering Plants. By Alfred 
Barton Rendle, M.A. (Cantab.), D.Sc. (Lond.), F.L.S., Assistant 
in the Department of Botany, British Museum. Vol. I. Gymno- 
sperms and Monocotyledons. Demy 8vo. With numerous illus- 
trations. 10 s. 6d. net. 
Pall Mall Gazette. The information throughout is clearly the outcome 
of deep thought, keen observation, and years of original study. Dr Rendle 
has the happy knack of hitting upon, and discussing with exactitude and 
clearness, the very difficulties which beset the thoughtful student, as though 
he himself were constantly confronted by the ever recurring “Why” of the 
anxious learner. 
Gardener's Chronicle. Numerous illustrations and an excellent index 
add to the value of the work. We heartily congratulate the author on the 
partial accomplishment of a difficult and laborious task. The part before 
us does but whet our appetite for what is to follow. 
Athenceum. The first instalment of a text book which will well 
represent the state of our knowledge in the early years of the century. 
In the present volume the Gymnosperms and the Monocotyledons alone 
are dealt with ; but they are treated with such excellent co-ordination of 
detail and such clear-headed sense of proportion, that we eagerly await 
the publication of the next instalment. 
The Vertebrate Skeleton. By Sidney H. Reynolds, 
M.A. Crown 8vo. With no Illustrations. 12 s. 6d. 
The Origin and Influence of the Thorough-bred 
Horse. By W. Ridgeway, M.A., F.B. A., Disney Professor of 
Archaeology and Fellow of Gonville and Caius College. With

Westminster Gazette. There has never been a more learned contribution 
to equine literature than Professor Ridgeway’s comprehensive and exhaustive 
book. 
Scotsman. He has brought together such an enormous mass of evidence 
that an attempt to confute him would be an arduous task.
