scant attention in Europe. Its interest is enhanced by its being written by a Negro of scholarship and wide reading. This book is a valuable contribution to the literature of a fascinating subject, and it is to be hoped that it will receive the attention it deserves." The Record says:-This book is a remarkable and well-timed work. It is the voice of the educated travelled Negro; it is the work of a well and widely-read man. The subjects discussed in this book are of the highest importance, especially as they profess to be examined at all times from the Christian standpoint." The Athenæum says:-"All that Dr. Blyden writes aboutthe disadvantage with which the Negro Race has had to contend, especially in America; his suggestions for the future, both there and⚫ in Africa, and his description of its peculiar gifts and probable destinyare ingenious as well as thoughtful and impassionate." The Academy says:- -"Dr. Blyden has given us a very interesting and remarkable volume. He speaks with the authority of one who is a Negro himself, and who has had more experience-both of the Christian white and the Mohammedan black-than almost anyone else." Fourth Edition, with important Additional Chapters. TEA-CULTIVATION AND MANUFACTURE. By Lieut.-Col. EDWARD MONEY. The Saturday Review, in the course of an extended notice, says:"We think that Col. Money has done good service by throwing into the form of a book an essay which gained the Prize awarded by the Agricultural and Horticultural Society of India, in 1872. The author is one of a well-known Anglo-Indian family. He has had plenty of practical experience, and has tested the labours of other Col. Money's general rules and principles, as far as we can form a judgment, seem to have reason as well as experience on their side. No tea planter can afford to disregard his men. experience." The Indian Agriculturist says:—“Col. Money has advanced with the times, and the work under review may well be considered the standard work on the subject, and it ought to be in every tea planter's hand in India, Ceylon, Java, Japan, China or America; the merit and sterling value of his essay has been universally and deservedly acknowledged. We recommend our readers who require full information and sound advice on the subject to procure Col. Money's book." Allen's Indian Mail says:-"The publication of so thorough, clear and instructive a directorium as Col. Money's work is in itself 91, GRACECHURCH STREET, LONDON. W. B. WHITTINGHAM and CO.'S PUBLICATIONS. a proof of the attention devoted to this important industry, which has a great future before it. No one who desires to understand the condition of its development; still more-no one who has a pecuniary interest in a tea garden, can feel that the subject of tea is known until this work has been studied." The China Express says:-"The experience gained since 1872 is added to the work, and it now forms a most complete guide for the tea planter. The great progress the cultivation of tea is making in India renders a practical work of this kind very valuable; and the method in which Colonel Money deals with the subject shows his thorough knowledge of it." The Planter's Gazette says:-"The cultivation of tea in the British dominions is becoming a rapidly-extending industry, and we are glad to see that Colonel Money's prize essay has reached a third edition, for it is full of practical information and deserves to be studied by every tea planter." 350 pages. 8vo.

A Compilation, by the Editor of the Indian Tea Gazette, of Information on Tea, Tea Science and Cultivation, Soils and Manures, Statistics, &c., &c., with Coloured Plates on Blights. The Grocer says:-" One of the most valuable and exhaustive contributions to tea literature which we remember to have seen. The cultivation of the plant in the different districts and provinces, the selection of soils and manures, and buildings for its manufacture, &c., are all ably treated in this work; and as it deals thoroughly with the scientific, statistical, and domestic branches of the subject, it is a manual deserving the attention of the tea planter, importer, dealer, and consumer. The experience of practical growers and cultivators is here fully narrated, the opinions of the most competent authorities on disputed points are clearly given and explained; and, in short, every matter connected with the history of the tea trade, as a growing industry and a widening channel of commerce, is gone into with a completeness and precision which leave nothing to be desired." The American Grocer says:-"The Tea Cyclopædia is one we can commend to our importers, grocers, and dealers, as being the most complete work of its kind on Indian teas, as well as furnishing innumerable items of interest to those engaged in the sale of China and Japan teas." 91, GRACECHURCH STREET, LONDON.

COFFEE-ITS CULTIVATION AND PROFIT. By EDWIN LESTER ARNOLD, Author of "On the 66 The Daily Telegraph says::-"A very interesting monograph on the subject has been written by Mr. E. Lester Arnold, who gained a practical knowledge of coffee planting in Southern India some years ago, and is the author of a former book thereon. With facts and figures regarding the cultivation of the plant, its proper soil and climate, labour and labourers, planting, pruning, harvesting, pulping, preparing, cost, and profit, Mr. Arnold mingles as pleasantly as modestly, and always with a quiet and graphic effect, his own reminiscences. Such are the pictures which are called up here and there in this excellent book on Coffee Cultivation, which contains, along with pictures and recollections entertaining to the general reader, all the facts and statistics indispensable to the young coffee planter, and the best available advice for those who seek their fortunes in this cultivation. The volume will, no doubt, become a standard authority on its subject." The Scotsman says:-"An excellent practical treatise, embodying the results of several years' actual experience in India, as well as 91, GRACECHURCH STREET, LONDON. W. B. WHITTINGHAM and CO.'S PUBLICATIONS. of study of the methods of cultivation adopted in other countries. He treats the economic aspects of Coffee Cultivation clearly and minutely, and at the same time he is able to impart interest to his theme by his command of a pleasant, unaffected literary style." The Overland Mail says:-"This is truly a handbook of practical information on its subject, which no Coffee Planter's library should be without. It is got up, too, in a very handy and serviceable form. Anyone can read it with pleasure, and will find it not only not dry, but written with clearness and a thorough knowledge of the subject; the author having in view to interest the capitalist as well as the planter, we do not doubt that it will effect the author's objectThat it may prove useful and convey a lucid impression of the "facts and figures" of coffee cultivation.' The publishers deserve praise for the manner in which they have produced it.” The Athenæum says:-"The Author knows a great deal about Coffee, and he delights in his theme." The Field says:-"A really good practical handbook on Coffee Cultivation." Allen's Indian Mail says:-"It might not inappropriately have been entitled A Handbook for Intending Coffee Planters,' as which we think it excellent. Such persons will here find, in few, well-digested words, the fullest information as to the countries most favourable to their enterprise, the regulations as to grants of land which obtain in each of these countries, the peculiar soil to be selected, and the way to treat it during its transmutation from virgin forest land into a productive plantation. This Coffee Planter's vade mecum is a full yet tersely and well-written guide to this branch of agriculture, and should be in the hands of everyone who desires to devote himself to it."

A Handbook for the Tea Trade; a Guide to Tea Merchants, Brokers, Dealers and Consumers, in the Secret of Successful Tea Mixing. The Grocer's Chronicle says:-"The book ought to be in the hands of every grocer of the United Kingdom." The Grocer's Journal says:-"We cordially recommend 'The Art of Tea Blending' to our readers as giving useful instruction and guidance." Allen's Indian Mail says:-" The author gives full technical instructions for the professional tea-blender and tea-taster; and in doing so, he imparts much information that will be found both valuable and interesting to the tea-drinking public." The Grocer says:-"This is the third edition of a book which we have previously noticed with favour, and which has met with considerable success. Although the art of successful tea-blending is not one which can well be gleaned from mere book-lore-practical experience being essential to its acquisition-there are many young beginners, and possibly also some older hands, who will derive a good deal of information from the work now under notice. It has evidently been prepared with much care, and in its way is a very useful handbook." The Grocer's Gazette:- 16 This is a work which has now reached its third edition, and which fully bears out its claim as an excellent handbook on the subject. Not only is it a useful book to all professionally engaged in the trade, but it is also calculated to educate those who have not had the benefit of a practical experience, by teaching them how to obtain a knowledge of the different classes of teas and the proper method of mixing them. To the mature grocer the work will be of interest, while the uninitiated may by its aid learn how to select proper teas, please his customer's palate, and sustain his reputation by keeping up the character of his mixings." 2 vols., Svo.
