Abbott, C: C., M.D. Upland and meadow: a Poaetquissings chronicle. N. Y., Harper, 1886. 9+397 p. D. cl., $1.50.

The unpronounceable Indian name in the title belongs to a little stream that empties into the Delaware river on the New Jersey side. Its banks and neighboring valleys are rich in animal and vegetable life, and its waters full of curious fishes. Indian relics also abound in the fields adjacent, and are rich hunting-grounds for the archaologist. This pleasant volume records the author's daily rambles through "upland and meadow," and affords to those interested in such subjects a great deal of valuable information. Many curious adventures and little personal episodes enliven the narrative.

Abbott, Lyman. In aid of faith. N. Y., E. P. Dutton & Co., 1886. 3-188 p. D. cl., $1. "The title of this book indicates its purpose. It is written in order to give aid to those who desire to hold fast to their faith, but find intellectual and moral difficulties in so doing.... It is not so much an attempt to prove the truths of Christianity by logical processes, as to state them in thinkable form.... It is not so much philosophical as it is personal. It is the record not so much of studies pursued in books as of experiences wrought in my own spirit and in my own thinking."-Preface.

A chronological chart of ancient, modern, and biblical history; synchronized by S. C. Adams; with maps of the world's great empires drawn by Prof. J. À.

The chart or map is in chromo-lithograph, mounted on canvas, and is about 25 ft. long by 2 ft. wide. The length of the chart is divided by perpendicular lines into the fifty-nine centuries and their decades; across these century spaces pass from left to right colored lines or streams that represent the different historic nations (and lives of the patriarchs), and change their color to indicate every change of rulers; these streams divide, subdivide, unite, or disappear according to the record of the nation represented; thus every nation, with its consecutive ruler and all the leading facts of history, are placed upon. fixed scale and presented to the eye in their proper rela tions as to time, just as, geographically, a map locates towns, rivers, and countries. Meridians intersect places of the same longitude, in the same manner that century and decade lines on this chart mark contemporaneous nations, rulers and events. The origin of nation, their grand march through the centuries, and their final overthrow are prominent features of the chart, while the confused mass of dates and events that usually comprises our knowledge of history is so sifted and synchronized by it, so lighted with

colors, models and illustrations, that the centuries of the past seem transformed into individual realities marked with their peculiar characteristics.

Nearly all the characters presented and all that take prominent parts in the story have been introduced in the preceding volumes of the series. The principal of the Beech Hill Industrial School entertains some doubts in regard to the principle upon which he has been conduct

ing the institution, and brings about a partial change in its character-by making it partly reformatory-still retaining its useful features. The subjects of the new experiment are the Topovers, the bad characters of the story, who become more tractable. The book is full of adventure and incident. The work to be done by the students is to rig a fore-and-aft schooner.

The aim in compiling this work has been to offer to the student as well as to the analytical chemist a rbstitute for much of his laborious calculations. Very much of this laborious but necessary work, the author feels, can be very easily dispensed with by the use of such help as he here offers, and he is assured that if it be received, it will be found to be indispensable in laboratory calculations. this purpose he has selected only those tables which are in constant use in an ordinary laboratory. They have been prepared with the utmost care, and can be relied on in every particular. All the calculations are based on the atomic weights as lately determined by Prof. F. w. Clarke.
