    the question whether it is advancing in heathen lands . In Africa it is not difficult to tell which devotion , Christianity or Islamism , is making

    most headway . Mr . Johnston ' s book is a serious study well equipped with statistics and forcible expressions of opinion .

    From Messrs . G-eorge Philip & Son . — ' Philip's ; 4 Hand Philip y ' s Volume Handy Atlas Volume of Atlas Australasia of British , ' and

    America . ' These are respectively Nos . 3 and 4 of this series . Their recommendations are numerous , the maps are clear and divided with

    much care , the town plans are equally good , while the descriptions and statistics are recent and trustworthy .

    From Messrs . G-. P . Putnam ' s Sons ( Montreal : W . Drysdale & Co . ) . — < The Fall of New France , ' by Gerald E . Hart . Here is found a unique

    historical story—unique in so far as it is the outcome of researches carried on by a Montreal society instituted for the purpose of gathering historical materials . The memorable struggle

    which resulted in the founding of British power in Canada is told in Mr . Hart ' s pages with led with historical accuracy . Matter

    at power once , coup new and important is brought under the notice of readers . But better than all , we should say , are the facsimiles , views , and portraits

    which have been printed . These are substantial proofs , and highly interesting withal . One letter from Wolfe is so exact in detail that the

    colour of the paper can be distinguished as well as the hero ' s handwriting . From MessrsDavid Hobertson & Co .

    Glas-. , gow . —A lively skit on Mr . Donnelly ' s discoveries has appeared under the title * Kaleigh wrote

    Creatures , their Ways and tlabits , by Marianne

    - - * - i-Bell . Anyone who reads this book will be glad to recognise , and speak of its good points , for it is indeed pleasantly iiastructive in style , and is devoid of the quasi-scientific tone which

    frequently gives books of this kind , the appearance of presumption . The author has literally chosen curious creatures for description and

    has succeeded in her task . From Messrs . Simpkin , Marshall & Co . —We

    have had occasion to notice in these pages many books , some of them very good indeed , containing selections , grave and gay , from poetic r- ^ ^^ ^^ ** ^^ ¦ ^ " ^ work w ^ " ^ *^ *^ ^ ^ s *^ ^ suitable - ^ * - ^ ^ fc * i *^^ f ¥ *» s - «^ ^^ ^ for ^ ^ tm ^ ^ ^ recitation k ^^ y ^^^ ^ l vi ^; ¦ ^^^ % _ ^ ^ .

    Aldine Beciter , ' by Alfred H . Miles , eclipses all that we can think of . It is a collection of modern poetry which reflects the highest credit upon the compiler . Two sections ( I . and III . )
