We may mention together some technical books of various kinds.
These are :—Building Construction, by Henry Adams (Chap- man and Hall). This volume is intended not for the profession or the trade, the architect or the builder, but as a "key to examinations of the Science and Art Department." Answers are supplied for a variety of questions actually set to candidates in the work of the Bricklayer, Carpenter, Smith and Founder, and other trades.—Electric-Light Installations.

(S.P.C.K.) —Handbook of Public Health and Demography, by Edward F. Willoughby (Pilacmillan). A "Third Edition, greatly Enlarged and Improved," of the "Principles of Hygiene," pub- lished in 1884.
