A Dictionary of Architecture and Building. By Russell Sturgis. (Macmillan

and Co. 25s. per vol.)—The second volume brings this work down to the the letter " N"; a third, still to be issued, will complete the set. The articles are short and fully illustrated, and an immense number of subjects are treated of. The book is not only a most useful one to refer to for a specific purpose, but it is also very delightful to turn its pages and read anywhere.
