    < Year-Book of Natural Science , 1889-90 . ' This annual maintains the high level of merit which the four previous issues had attained . There

    is no branch of natural science which is not touched upon , and that in so skilful and engaging a fashion as cannot fail to interest and

    instruct the reader . We find concise yet clear descriptions of recent discoveries in physical science ^ r _ _ _ especiall _ _ _ - _ ^ y in telegrap _ - j—j — j hy and tele --

    -and p wv honics applied , y ; new mecha methods _ . ^ j nics are in cleverl molecular _ y exp p lai hysics ned _ . , The progress in astronomical and meteorological 7

    A c ? c research receives due attention , and ameliorations in sanitation and the healing arts are faithfully . / recorded - - - - — - . In this part x of the work

    the interesting question of hypnotism is dealt with at some length . But it is the geographical section to which at this time most readers

    will turn . Here we find Africa occupying , almost as a matter of course , the most prominent place . As a matter of fact the most fascinating

    topic in connection with Africa at this present writing is the perilous and chivalrous Stanley expedition for the relief of Emin Pasha . As

    far as the scanty limits of four closely printed pages admit , Stanley ' s march is well narrated by the learned geograp — jj—her _ Professor — — F . Behr . The

    greatest credit o is _ due L to the well - -known publishing firm of B . Herder in Freiburg for the liberal way in which the Year-Book is produced _ . .

    From Messrs . Crosby Lockwood & Son . — ' The Civil Service Geography , ' 10 th edition . This well-known manual of general and political

    geography was written in the first instanc x e by the late Mr . Lancelot D . Spence , of the Civil Serviceand since his death the book has from ¥

    time to , time been enlarged and — - - — revised by Mr . Thomas Gray , C . B ., of the Board of Trade . In the new edition the chapter relating to

    Turkey in Europe has been recast and another has been added , descriptive of Roumania , Servia , and Montenegro . The facts which are given

    concerning the German Empire and the kingdom of Italy have been in part rewritten . The book shows—of coursewith great brevity—the

    , gradual extension of the military and political influence of Russia and England in Central Asia , and due attention is also drawn to the rapidly

    increasing importance of the Argentine Republic , Brazil , Peru , and other States of South America . The progress made by European

    nations in the gradual appropriation of the African continent , together with the development of geographical knowledge in that quarter

    of the globe through the travels and researches of Mr . Stanley and other explorers , is concisely indicated . The book cannot fail to prov Ae of
