A Scientific French Reader. Edited with Introduction, Notes and Vocabulary by Alexander W. Herdler. 12mo, pp. 196. Boston: D. C. Heath & Co. 85 cents.

The aim of this compilation is to give the American student of science some general familiarity with French technical terms and style. Mr. Herdler has taken most of his selections from the Revue Encyclopédique. Electricity receives most attention, with mechanics, physics, chemistry and their industrial applications following. A number of illustrations are used, and special care has been given to the vocabulary. Hernani. By Victor Hugo. Edited with Notes and an Essay on Victor Hugo by George McLean Harper, Ph.D. 12mo, pp. xlvii, 126. 70 cents.

Professor Harper's introduction to this edition of "Hernani" is a comparatively long one and includes a very interesting sketch of the state of French literature in the first decades of our century and a discriminating criticism of Hugo's place among the great modern French writers. A portrait of Hugo is given and some twenty pages of notes, but no vocabulary.

L'Abbé Constantin. By Ludovic Halévy. Edited by O. B. Super, Ph.D. Boards, 16mo, pp. 208. New York: Henry Holt & Co. 40 cents.

MISCELLANEOUS.

Inebriety or Narcomania: Its Etiology, Pathology, Treatment and Jurisprudence. By Norman Kerr, M.D. Octavo, pp. 640. New York: J. Selwin Tait & Sons. $3.50.

This is the third edition of a work by an eminent English authority upon inebriety, which first appeared in 1888. The new edition contains more matter than its immediate predecessor to the extent of some three hundred pages. The fundamental conception underlying Dr. Kerr's entire treatment is one now familiar to all-viz., that inebriety in its nature and in its relations to society must be considered as a disease. This treatise as it now stands is an admirably analyzed, almost exhaustive presentation of alcoholic, opium, chloral and other forms of inebriety, their cause, effect. treatment, etc., and their relations to jurisprudence. This last subject receives extended attention. The citation of numerous interesting cases and the general style of the work make the volume of great interest even to one who has no professional need to examine the subjects. The details of typography, indexing, analysis of contents, etc., seem highly satisfactory.

The Great World's Farm. Some Account of Nature's Crops and How they Grow. By Selina Gaye. 12mo, pp. 373. New York: Macmillan & Co. $1.25. This is the second edition of a work which was noticed in the REVIEW some time ago. It is an exceedingly interesting book and valuable for educational purposes; uniting a simple style with accurate scientific teaching in much the same manner as some of Arabella Buckley's writings. The sixteen illustrations are excellent.

Pictures of Swedish Life; or, Svea and Her Children. By Mrs. Woods Baker. Octavo, pp. 421. New York: Anson D. F. Randolph & Co. $3.75.

The author of these sketches has lived for many years in Sweden and is able to give her readers some very interesting glimpses of Swedish home and social life. The book is a fragmentary one, but written with evident enjoyment, in an attractive, wide awake style. Notice is given to a number of the more important figures in Swedish history, and some few pages are devoted to Dalecarlia, the Finns and the Lapps. There are between seventy and eighty illustrations, many of them being of remarkable excellence.

In Cairo and Jerusalem: An Eastern Note Book. By Mary Thorn Carpenter. 12mo, pp. 232. New York: Anson D. F. Randolph & Co. $1.50.

This is an entertaining volume by the American young woman who not long ago published an account of "A Girl's Winter in India." Miss Carpenter does not pretend to offer a serious study of social or political conditions; she touches here and there upon historical matters related to her travel, but limits herself mainly to a notice of picturesque and striking aspects of present-day life in the two cities described, as it appears to a passing tourist. The style is clear and agreeable, and the book has nearly a score of excellent full-page illustrations.

The American Annual of Photography and Photographic Times Almanac for 1895. Paper, 12mo, pp. 438. New York: The Scovill & Adams Company. 50 cents.

This volume is the ninth issue of its series. The improvements in the annual and the increased sales the publishers report indicate the wonderful extension of interest in photography for the past few years. This issue contains a very large number of articles contributed by competent authorities upon various matters connected with technical and artistic photography, an extensive arrangement of "Standard Formulas and Useful Receipts," a list of photographic books published in English, French and German, from August. 1893, to August, 1894, record of new patents, lists of photographic societies in the United States and in foreign countries. A chief attraction lies in the scores of full-page and lesser illustrations, some of which are extremely beautiful.

The Great Composers. By Hezekiah Butterworth. 16mo. pp. 195. Boston: Lothrop Publishing Company. $1,

Mr. Butterworth's little work, dealing with important and picturesque incidents in the lives of the great composers, has been favorably known for perhaps a decade. A new edition now appears, revised and enlarged by an additional chapter. Besides treating a number of great classical names separately, Mr. Butterworth sketches Hymn Writers of the Past and of the present, "American National Songs," etc. Nearly a score of quiet illustrations are given.
