The Popular Science Review. January, 1864. Edited by Henry Lawson,

M.D. (Robert Hardwicke.)—This quarterly maintains its character for solid excellence. Professor Gamgee gives an alarming paper on the microscopic worms which pass from measly pork into the frame of man. Probably Sylla may have died of eating diseased pig. There is, besides, a capital paper, short and clear, descriptive of the railway tunnel under Mont Canis. The most valuable parts of the review, howerer, are the "Notes of New Inventions" and the "Scientific Summary." Both are well done, and they form, as it seems to us, the feature of the work which the editor would do well to foster.
