We have received a volume of Sketches for Cottages and
other Buildings. From Sketches and Notes by R. Norman Shaw, R.A. Drawn by Maurice B. Adams. (W. H. Lascelles.)—Theso cottages are to be constructed on the "Patent Slab System of W. H. Lascelles." If Mr. Lascelles and his coadjutor can contribute to the solution of the " cottage-building " problem, they will have done a great service to the community. A table giving the estimated cost would have been a desirable addition. Cost is the condition that makes the problem so difficult.—.—Tales from Blackwood (W. Blackwood and Sons). No. 5, of the new series, containing, "Who Painted the Great Murillo de la Merced ?" "A Parochial Epic," and "A Military Adven- ture in the Pyrenees." These volumes are compact and clearly printed, and of a size that admits of their being carried easily in the pocket. —A new edition of Kemp Philp's useful Panoramic Guide to the North-British Railway (Bemrose and Sons).—Short Rules for Modern Whist (Triibner), twelve short and pithy rules for the game, extracted from the Quarterly Review of January, 1871.
