We have to notice the eighteenth volume of The Works

of Charles Kingsley, containing "Sanitary and Social Lectures and Essays." Under this title are included eleven essays, ranging, as regards the time of their delivery, over a period of twenty years and more. All, -we need not say, are well worthy of preservation. Some we should be glad to see given in a form as generally accessible as possible. We wish, for instance, that every girl could read the admirable " Nausicai in London ; or, the Lower Education of Women," with its honest, plain-spoken, yet always gentle words of advice, reproof, and warning.
