Dying Scientifically. By "/Esculapius Scalpel." (Swan Sonnen- schein and Co.)—The
author of "St. Bernard's "gives in this book what he calls a " key " to his former book,—that is, he gives from medical journals proofs, as supplied by cases there recorded, of the assertions there made. The questions involved are far too grave to admit of a hasty judgment on the right or wrong of the cause which ".ZEsculapins Scalpel" takes up; and we, therefore, limit our notice to the facts of the appearance and of the object of the book.
Among recent contributions to technical education, an important place must be given to Lessons on Decorative Design. By Frank G. Jackson. (Chapman and Hall.)—The volume is based upon lectures delivered at the Birmingham Municipal School of Art, and will doubtless be found useful for the object proposed.— Another volume with a kindred object is The Manual Training- School. By C. M. Woodward, M.A. (D. C. Heath and Co., U.S.A.) —This comprises "a full statement of the aims, methods, and results [of the School], with figured drawings of shop exercises in woods and metals." The motto quoted on the title-page is :— " Bail to the skilful, cunning hand! Hail to the cultured mind!
Contending for the world's command, Here let them be combined."
—With these may also be mentioned Drawing and Designing in a Series of Lessons, by Charles G. Leland, one of the series of "Minor Arts and Industries." (Whittaker and Co.)
