NEW SOLAR EYE-PIECE. This contrivance, proposed by Prof. Pickering, is the most efficient yet made; the greater portion of the Sun's rays are allowed to pass away in a direct line with the tube of the telescope; the small amount of light reflected is polarised, and the quantity of light received by the eye can be regulated by turning an analysing prism, which is placed over the eye-piece. Price for Telescopes up to 6in. diameter, £5: above 6in. diameter, £10.

LIGHT SCIENCE FOR LEISURE HOURS; a Series of Familiar Essays on Scientific Subjects, Natural Phenomena, &c. By R. A. PROCTOR, B.A., F.R.A.S, Author of "Other Worlds than Ours," "The Sun," &c.

"The book is principally occupied with short Essays on interesting subjects lying within the domain of natural science, such as the Gulf-Stream, tidal waves, tornadoes, earthquakes, and several other similar topics. The papers well deserve the title of Light Science for Leisure Hours; they are popular in the proper sense of the word, remarkable for lucidity and the manner in which somewhat difficult investigations and deductions are made interesting and easy to the non-scientific mind "-Globe.

PEEPS AT THE FAR EAST. A Familiar Account of a Visit to India. By NORMAN MACLEOD, D.D. With numerous Illustrations. Small 4to, cloth gilt extra, 218.

"It would be difficult to point out in our popular literature a book which in anything like the same compass conveys so full or so instructive a knowledge of British India. With the same charm of companionship which won his way to the hearts of every class, Dr. Macleod seems to carry us with him, in a delightful round of travel and observation, through Madras and Calcutta to Benares, Cawnpore, Lucknow, Agra, and Delhi. His remarks deserve to be read with the attention due to a mind of rare sagacity and candour, thoroughly versed in the knowledge of mankind, and strengthened by wide experience as well as by systematic and extensive reading. His work has thus an inner depth and a philosophical value beyond that of a mere record of travel."-Saturday Review.

ESSAYS, THEOLOGICAL and LITERARY. By R. H. HUTTON. 2 vols. post 8vo, 245.

Both where we agree and where we differ from the writer, we feel that he has done good service in a good cause."-Guardian.
