(Macmillan and Co )_The Discoveries and Inventions of the Nineteenth Century, by Robert Routledge (George Routledge and Sons), has reached its twelfth edition, and has now been revised and partly re- written, with additions and appendix. In view of the fact that a very short time has passed since the appearance of the eleventh edition (this was published in 1896, the tenth bearing the date of 1890), the new matter has been for the most part given in the appendix. The chief novelties come under the heads of im- provements in naval and military armaments (rifles, for instance, and torpedoes), steamboats and inclined railroads (a railway in the Catskill Mountains makes the ascent of 1 ft. in 4-25), the Röntgen rays, and the Linotype printing process.—English Sanitary Institutions.
