Various little handbooks which we may commend to the notice
of those who are interested in their various subjects are :—The Amateur Telescopist's Handbook. By Frank M. Gibson. (Long- mans.)—Dr. Gibson is one of the American observers who have done so much for the science.— Handbook of Natural History for the Use of Beginners. Edited by the Lady Isabel Margesson. (Philip and Son.)—The Principles of Chess, in Theory and Prac- tice. By James Mason. (Horace Cox.)—Fifty Breakfasts, by A. Kenney Herbert (E. Arnold), will doubtless interest everybody. Through Blind Eyes. By Maurice de la Sizeranne. Translated by F. Park Lewis. (G. P. Putnam's Sons.)—The author of this book became blind at the age of nine. He was educated in the National Institution for the Blind at Paris, and has devoted his life, being a person of independent means, to promoting the welfare of his fellow-sufferers. Here he tells us about the characteristics of the blind, about what has been done, and what. has yet to be done for them.
