LOCKYER.-ELEMENTARY LESSONS in ASTRONOMY, with numerous Illustrations. By J. NORMAN LOCKYER.

OLIVER.-LESSONS

[Preparing.

IN ELEMENTARY BOTANY. With nearly Two Hundred Illustrations. By DANIEL OLIVER, F.R.S., F.L.S. Third Thousand. 18mo. cloth, 4s. 6d.

"The manner is most fascinating, and if it does not succeed in making this division of science interesting to every one, we do not think anything can. Nearly 200 well executed woodcuts are scattered through the text, and a valuable and copious index completes a volume which we cannot praise too highly, and which we trust all our botanical readers, young and old, will possess themselves of."-Popular Science Review.

"To this system we now wish to direct the attention of teachers, feeling
satisfied that by some such course alone can any substantial knowledge of
plants be conveyed with certainty to young men educated as the mass of
our medical students have been. We know of no work so well suited to
direct the botanical pupil's efforts as that of Professor Oliver's, who, with
views so practical and with great knowledge too, can write so accurately
and clearly."-Natural History Review.

"It is very simple, but truly scientific, and written with such a clearness
which shows Professor Oliver to be a master of exposition...
No one
could have thought that so much thoroughly correct botany could have
been so simply and happily taught in one volume."-American Journal
of Science and Arts.

ROSCOE.-LESSONS in ELEMENTARY CHEMISTRY, Inorganic and Organic. By HENRY ROSCOE, F.R.S., Professor of Chemistry in Owen's College, Manchester. With numerous Illustrations and Chromo-Litho. of the Solar Spectra. Seventh Thousand. 18mo. cloth, 4s. 6d.

For

It has been the endeavour of the author to arrange the most important facts
and principles of Modern Chemistry in a plain but concise and scientific
form, suited to the present requirements of elementary instruction.
the purpose of facilitating the attainment of exactitude in the knowledge of
the subject, a series of exercises and questions upon the lessons have been
added. The metric system of weights and measures, and the centigrade
thermometric scale, are used throughout the work.

"A small, compact, carefully elaborated and well arranged manual."—
Spectator.

"It has no rival in its field, and it can scarcely fail to take its place as the text-book at all schools where chemistry is now studied."-Chemical News. "We regard Dr. Roscoe's as being by far the best book from which a student can obtain a sound and accurate knowledge of the facts and principles of rudimentary chemistry."-The Veterinarian.

MISCELLANEOUS.

ATLAS of EUROPE.

GLOBE EDITION. Uniform in size with Macmillan's Globe Series, containing 48 Coloured Maps, on the same scale Plans of London and Paris, and a copious Index, strongly bound in half-morocco, with flexible back. 95.

NOTICE. This Atlas includes all the Countries of Europe in a Series of
Forty-eight Maps, drawn on the same scale, with an Alphabetical Index to
the situation of more than 10,000 Places; and the relation of the various
Maps and Countries to each other is defined in a general Key-Map.
The identity of scale in all the Maps facilitates the comparison of extent and
distance, and conveys a just impression of the magnitude of different
Countries. The size suffices to show the Provincial Divisions, the Rail-
ways and Main Roads, the Principal Rivers and Mountain Ranges. As
a book it can be opened without the inconvenience which attends the use
of a folding map.

"In the series of works which Messrs. Macmillan and Co. are publishing
under this general title (Globe Series) they have combined portableness
with scholarly accuracy and typographical beauty, to a degree that is
almost unprecedented. Happily they are not alone in employing the
highest available scholarship in the preparation of the most elementary
educational works; but their exquisite taste and large resources secure an
artistic result which puts them almost beyond competition. This little
atlas will be an invaluable boon for the school, the desk, or the traveller's
portmanteau."-British Quarterly Review.

EARLY EGYPTIAN HISTORY for the Young. With Descriptions of the Tombs and Monuments. New Edition, with Frontispiece. Fcap. 8vo. 5s.

"Written with liveliness and perspicuity."-Guardian.

"Artistic appreciation of the picturesque, lively humour, unusual aptitude for handling the childish intellect, a pleasant style, and sufficient learning, altogether free from pedantic parade, are among the good qualities of this volume, which we cordially recommend to the parents of inquiring and book-loving boys and girls."—Athenæum.

"This is one of the most perfect books for the young that we have ever seen. We know something of Herodotus and Rawlinson, and the subject is certainly not new to us; yet we read on, not because it is our duty, but for very pleasure. The author has hit the best possible way of interesting any one young or old."-Literary Churchman.

For the use of Colleges and Schools. Containing a Graduated Selection from Modern Authors in Prose and Verse; and copious Notes, chiefly Etymological. By EDWARD A. OPPEN. Fcap. 8vo. cloth, 4s. 6d.

"Mr. Oppen has produced a French Reader, which is at once moderate yet full, informing yet interesting, which in its selections balances the moderns fairly against the ancients.. The examples are chosen with taste and skill, and are so arranged as to form a most agreeable course of French reading. An etymological and biographical appendix constitutes a very valuable feature of the work."-Birmingham Daily Post.

A SHILLING BOOK of WORDS from the POETS. By C. M. VAUGHAN. 18mo. cloth.

THRING.-Works by Edward Thring, M.A., Head Master of

18mo. 25.

THE CHILD'S GRAMMAR. Being the substance of "The
Elements of Grammar taught in English," adapted for the use of
Junior Classes. A New Edition. 18mo. Is.

The author's effort in these two books has been to point out the broad,
beaten, every-day path, carefully avoiding digressions into the bye-ways
and eccentricities of language. This work took its rise from questionings
in National Schools, and the whole of the first part is merely the writing
out in order the answers to questions which have been used already with
success. Its success, not only in National Schools, from practical work
in which it took its rise, but also in classical schools, is full of encourage-

ment.
