We have to acknowledge the annual volume, the second of

a new series, of Amateur Work, Illustrated (Ward, Lock, and Co.) It is described as " a practical magazine of constructive and decorative art and manual labour." Sundry supplements supply designs and working drawings to scale.—Along with this we may mention, as coming from the same publisher, Popular Scientific Recreations, "a new and enlarged edition," "translated and enlarged from Les Recreations Scientifiques' of Gaston Tissaudier."
