    iar and Practical :. an Easy Book on a Difficult Subject / by Eustace Neville Rolfe , B . A . In the preface to this guide-boolt the author says : 'I

    nave endeavoured to write a work which shall be popular in the sense that it is easily understood , and practical because it shall sum up in a few

    words the most important points of the various buildings which are submitted to the consideration of the reader . ' We may congratulate the

    author ou having attained his object . The book is not only well planned , but is aflso well written . It consists of eleven <; hapters . The first four are

    devoted to the History , Topography , Social Life , and Art of Pompeii . The nf th chapter describes the Sea Gate and Museum , the ) six £ h and seventh

    contain full and interesting descriptions of the Forum , the Basilica , the Temple of Jupiter , the BathsFencing SchoolTheatresand other public

    buildings , , and the eighth , comprises , an account of the Gates and Walls , while the ninth describes the remarkable Street of the Tombs .

    Chapter eleven , on Literature and Industries in Pompeii , is of especial interest . In fine , this guide-book is full of information either for the

    visitor to Pompeii or the stay-at-home reader who wants to know all about this city , risen , as it werefrom the deadwithout leaving his

    study . , The value of the book , is much enhanced by an index and an excellent map . Messrs . Sampson LowMarston , Searle & Rivington

    From "Welsh Messrs . ^ -- The . ( Griffith Bombay , l Materia ^ aryan , Hedica Okeden , , and & ¦

    their Therapeutics , ' by Bustonajee Naserwarijee KJvory , M . D ,. Brux . It is doubtful whether , the attempt of this author to render his work

    interesting to the world at large will be particularly successful , for the secrets of the Pharmacopoeiano matter how excellently

    displayed , are hardly , such as to attract the popular mind ; but as an endeavour to advance the claims of native drugsand to render their

    advantages more noticeable , , the book is worthy of every praise . It is a compilation from various standard Persian , Urdu , and Sanscrit

    medical works ; and , so far as we are able to judge , has been laboriously prepared and excellentl — y a — rranged — . In Bombay — it — is —— pub —™ - ¦ -

    contribution to the subject may be recommended as thoroughly practical and trustworthy . From the same . —Mr . W . W . Fenn is hardly seen

    at his best in the stories comprised under the title of 'A Professional Secret , ' and we strongly suspect that many of them represent the efforts

    of earlier years . But none the less are they pleasantly readable and exciting , aad among the other forms . of popular fiction they should

    undoubtedly occupy a place . The illustratipns are by H . W . Petherick . From Messrs . 'J ~ arrold & Sons " 3 Paternoster
