Reminiscences of a Temperance Advocate, by Fred. Atkin (Ideal Publishing

Union, is.), gives one side of a difficult question—not that it presents any difficulty to Mr. Atkin—with some force.— From the same publishers we have The United Temperance Gazette (2s.) and The Beverages We Drink (1s.), by W. N. Edwards, F.C.S. Mr. Edwards examines the constituents of various drinks, alcoholic and non-alcoholic, with the conclusions that were to be expected.—The Case for Sunday Closing also comes from the same publishers, and will probably unite more suffrages than its companions.
