Our Queen:
_The Life and Times of Victoria, Queen of Great Britain and Ireland,
Empress of India, etc._
BY THE AUTHORS OF "GENERAL GORDON," "GRACE DARLING," ETC.
This important work provides an exhaustive history of the life of the
Queen, from her infancy to the present year in which she commemorates the
sixtieth year of her reign. Any account of the life of the Queen would be
imperfect that did not take into account the immense march of
progress--political, industrial, and scientific--and the many memorable
events which her reign has witnessed. In the course of its narrative this
volume deals with these events in an impartial and enlightened spirit; it
provides, in fact, a complete and authentic history of our own times in
their religious, social, literary, artistic, and scientific aspects,
together with biographical records of the many men and women of eminence
of the Victorian era. Perhaps in no respect have such great strides been
made as in the extent of the territory over which our Queen rules. When
she ascended the throne, her sway extended over 1,387,000 square miles
(including colonies and dependencies); now the empire has an area of
11,130,000 square miles, it being thus eight times as large as at the
beginning of the reign. The vast interest of the subject of the work need
not be commented on, an interest which will be both intensified and
universally felt during the present year, and which it is the object of
this attractively and earnestly written book to worthily and adequately
satisfy. The many portraits which it will contain will add effectively to
the value of the work.

Hallucinations and Illusions:
A STUDY OF THE FALLACIES OF PERCEPTION.
BY EDMUND PARISH.
This work deals not only with the pathology of the subject, but with the
occurrence of the phenomena among normal persons, bringing together the
international statistics of the matter. It discusses fully the causation
of hallucinations and the various theories that have been put forward; and
further, it examines and adversely criticises the evidence which has been
brought forward in favour of telepathy.
