Mathematical Exercises. By Samuel H. Winter, F.R.A.S. (Longman and Co.)—Mr.

Winter is actively engaged in military tuition, and has collected this volume of papers in pure mathematics, statics, dynamics, and hydrostatics. They are carefully arranged in sets, with tables of useful formula; so that each paper for the most part contains examples in various subjects. This is well adapted to students.

We have also received a new edition of Mary Howitt's Sketches of Natural History (A. W. Bennett); a cheap reprint of Mr. and Mrs. Asheton (Chapman and Hall), a good novel with an impossible plot ; The Ydverton Correspondence (T. Laurie); The Biglow Papers, by J. R. Lowell (John Camden Hotten),—a reprint of the first series of those admirably funny poems ; and Parts VIII. and IX. of the People's Edition of Lord Macaulay's History of England (Longman and Co.).
