We must be contsnt to pass with the very briefest
notice over several books treating of special subjects. To deal with them adequately would require a particular knowledge which we
have not at command, and, could that defect be supplied, more space than could be afforded :—Or and Sable : a Book of the Graemes and Grahams. By Louisa G. Graeme. (W. Brown, Edinburgh. 31s. 6d. net.)—" Graeme " and "Graham" are, it will be understood, variations of the same name, a name borne by many famous men, of whom the Marquis of Montrose is, perhaps, the most celebrated.—How to Identify Old China. By Mrs. Willoughby Hodson. (G. Bell and Sons. 6s. net.)—Mrs. Hodson goes through the various manufactories of pottery (Fulham, Wrotham, Lambeth, Staffordshire, Wedgwood, Leeds) and of china (nineteen names, of which Chelsea and Worcester are the best known), gives some figurings of special objects and marks, and suggests a course of study.--Parrakeets. By David Seth-Smith. (R. H. Porter. 40s. net.)—A handsome book, with some fine coloured and other illustrations.
