The British Association in Jeopardy, and Professor De Morgan in

the Pillory without Hope of Escape. By James Smith. (Simpkin and Marshall).—Mr. James Smith modestly requests the reader not to stop when half-way through his pamphlet, but to read to the end. Any one who can get half-way through the pamphlet may perhaps find the second half not more tedious than the first half. But Mr. Smith's. request is likely to be granted in the same way as the Baron's prayer in the Rape of the Lock was heard by the powers. His readers will not stop at tho 47th page, became they will have stopped at the sixth.
