Of technical books we have received :—Sprains: their Consequences and

Treatment. By C. W. Mansell Moak!. (II. K. Lewis.)—It would have been as well to say expressly whether they aro in- tended for the profession or for lay readers. There are things that the latter may certainly benefit by knowing, and others, in the way of treatment especially, which it would be rash for them to appro. prints.-The object of What Can a Mother Do to Preserve her Children's Teeth ? by Henry C. Qaintz (G. G. Walmsley, Liverpool), is evident. It is a brief, handy manual, and likely, we should say, to be very useful.—Needlework: Diagrams and Cutting Out, by EL Waite (Griffith, Farrar', and Co.), contains "twenty-eight patterns of useful garments, all drawn to scale, quarter-size."—Notes and Formulre for Mining Students. By J. H. Merivale, M.A. (Crosby Lockwood and Co.)
