'We think the author has satisfactorily demonstrated both the
immortality of man, and also that the spirit lives in a condition of
conscious existence after death. His chapter on the recognition of
friends in heaven, proves that point in a convincing manner. His
narratives of the triumphant deathbeds, and the celestial visions of
many departed saints, will be prized by not a few readers.'--_Dundee
Courier._

THE EARTH'S CRUST.
A Handy Outline of Geology. With numerous Illustrations. Third Edition.
By DAVID PAGE, LL.D., F.R.S.E., F.G.S., Author of 'Text-Books of
Geology and Physical Geography,' etc.
'Such a work as this was much wanted,--a work giving in clear and
intelligible outline the leading facts of the science, without
amplification or irksome details. It is admirable in arrangement, and
clear, easy, and at the same time forcible, in style. It will lead, we
hope, to the introduction of geology into many schools that have
neither time nor room for the study of large treatises.'--_The Museum._
II.
POULTRY AS A MEAT SUPPLY:
Being Hints to Henwives how to Rear and Manage Poultry Economically and
Profitably. Fourth Edition. By the Author of 'The Poultry Kalendar.'
'The Author's excellent aim is to teach henwives how to make the
poultry-yard a profitable as well as pleasant pursuit, and to
popularize poultry-rearing among the rural population generally.'--_The
Globe._
III.
HOW TO BECOME A SUCCESSFUL ENGINEER:
Being Hints to Youths intending to adopt the Profession. Third Edition.
By BERNARD STUART, Engineer.
'Parents and guardians, with youths under their charge destined for the
profession, as well as youths themselves, who intend to adopt it, will
do well to study and obey the plain curriculum in this little book. Its
doctrine will, we hesitate not to say, if practised, tend to fill the
ranks of the profession with men conscious of the heavy
responsibilities placed in their charge.'--_Practical Mechanic's
Journal._
IV.
RATIONAL COOKERY:
Cookery made Practical and Economical, in connection with the Chemistry
of Food. Fifth Edition. By HARTELAW REID.

the youthful bride in one of her most important domestic
duties.'--_Glasgow Citizen._
V.
EUROPEAN HISTORY:
In a Series of Biographies, from the Beginning of the Christian Era
till the Present Time. Second Edition. By DAVID PRYDE, M.A.
'It is published with a view to the teaching of the history of Europe
since the Christian era by the biographic method, recommended by Mr.
Carlyle as the only proper method of teaching history. The style of the
book is clear, elegant, and terse. The biographies are well, and, for
the most part, graphically told.'--_The Scotsman._
