The Journal of Education. (William Rice. 7s. 6d.) — This, we see,

is the thirty-seventh year of the Journal. Physical man is at his best, according to Aristotle, at thirty-five ; intellectual man at forty-nine; hence our contemporary is very favourably situated, though we should be sorry to think that the Spectator, which reckons more than double our contemporary's years, is senile. We need not, do more than welcome the appearance of this annual volume—the monthly issues it is, of course, impossible

to notice—and express our pleasure at seeing how it maintains its high standard of excellence.
