Of "Manuals of Employment for Educated Wsmen," edited by Christabel

Osborn (Walter Scott, le. per vol.), we have three numbers before us,-Secondary Education, by Christabel Osborn and Florence B. Low; Elementary Teaching, by Christabel Osborn; and Sick Km ding, by the same. Should any reader be surprised that one hand should deal with subj sets so diverse, we may explain that the manuals are for the most part devoted to in- formation about facts. The educational manuals, for instance, give details about training colleges, salaries, hours of work, pensions, &c., or, in the volume relating to secondary teaching, the University examination. The manual of nursing contains a very interesting introduction by Miss Eva C. E. Liickes, of the London Hospital.
