Amateur Work, Illustrated. (Ward, Lock, and Co.) —This is the
third volume of the new series, and continues to maintain the same standard of varied usefulness. The supply of subjects seems inexhaustible. New discoveries in mechanism are made ; new wants arise ; new arts are practised. A separate column is given every month to "Notes on Novelties," and the variety of its contents is highly interesting. Among the articles we may mention "Colour-Photography," by Mr. R. A. H. Bennett ; "Wood-Engraving for Amateurs ;" " Metal-Turning ; " the essays and notes dealing with photography generally; "Hot-Water Fittings for Small Houses," a very important matter for many readers ; and "Practical Organ-Building." An " amateur " who can build an organ must surely have reached the top of the possibilities of his class.
