J. S. Lindsay. (Heifer and Sons, Cambridge. 2s. net ) —This is a contribution—and we are ready to believe as far as we can without actual experiment, a useful contribution—to the great present-day art of examining and being examined.. It carries on an earlier series, beginning with "Question 300," relating to the Lancastrian claim to the throne. Various helps are given, with hints, bibliographies, &c.—Morceaux Choisis Edited by R. L. A. du Pontet. (E. Arnold. is. ad.)—A. collection of a hundred-odd pieces of modern French, gathered from some sixty writers, from Moliere and Bossuet down to writers still living, as M. Francisque Sarcey. The editor supplies biographical summaries and some notes.—From Messrs. Cassell and Co. we have received Books I. and II. of " Cassell's ' Eyes and No Eyes' Series," entitled respectively Wild Life in Woods and Fields and By Pond and River (4d. each), both by Arabella B. Buckley (Mrs. Fisher). —Chemical Lecture Experiments. By Francis Gano Benedict, Ph.D. (Macmillan and Co. fis. O. net.) —Experi- mental lectures have a prestige of long-established authority about them, and other obvious recommendations, and a manual of directions, with a list of apparatus, &c., cannot fail to be useful.
