The Book of Patience. By Walter Wood. (W. H. Allen

and Co.)— Mr. Wood describes and gives directions for playing more than thirty games of " patience." Some of them he illustrates, and it is on these that he recommends the learner to make his first trial. We seem to remember a previous treatise on the same subject in which this number was more than doubled ; but thirty-two will probably be found enough for most people.
