"Open the book at what page the reader may, he will find something to amuse and instruct, and he must be very hard to please if he finds nothing to suit him, either grave or gay, stirring or romantic, in the capital stories collected in this well-got-up volume."-John Bull.

THE PHYSICS AND PHILOSOPHY OF THE SENSES; or, The Mental and the Physical in their Mutual Relation. Illustrated by several Plates. Demy 8vo. 16s.

The author's object is twofold; first, to supply a Manual of the Senses, embracing the more important discoveries of recent times; second, in discussing the subject of Life, Organization, Sensibility, and Thought, to demonstrate, in opposition to the Materialistic Theory, that the Senses no less than Reason furnish proof that an immaterial and spiritual element is the operative element in nature. Yonge (C. D.), Regius Professor, Queen's College, Belfast. HISTORY OF THE ENGLISH REVOLUTION OF 1688. Crown 8vo. 6s.

The Revolution of 1688 is treated as a continuance and completion of the movement begun in the reign of Charles I. It is regarded as not having been finally completed and secured till the peace of Ryswick, and the volume ends with a brief contemplation of the consequences and fruits of the Revolution, among which the close of the events of William's reign necessarily find a place.

"A fair, succinct, useful, and masterly summary of the main causes, circumstances, and history of the Revolution, and not without some striking comments on its effects."-Standard.

AN ESSAY ON THE CULTURE OF THE OBSERVING POWERS OF CHILDREN, especially in connection with the Study of Botany. Edited, with Notes and a Supplement, by Joseph Payne, F.C.P., Author of "Lectures on the Science and Art of Education," &c. Crown 8vo. 2s. 6d.

"This study, according to her just notions on the subject, is to be fundamentally based on the exercise of the pupil's own powers of observation. He is to see and examine the properties of plants and flowers at first hand, not merely to be informed of what others have seen and examined."-Pall Mall Gazette.

FIRST BOOK OF BOTANY. Designed to cultivate the observing powers of Children. With 300 Engravings. New and Enlarged Edition. Crown 8vo. 5s.

The beginner is here introduced to the study of Botany by the direct observation of vegetable forms. The pupil is told very little, and from the beginning throughout he is sent to the plant to get his knowledge of it. It aims, moreover, at the systematic cultivation of the observing powers.

"It is but rarely that a school-book appears which is at once so novel in plan, so successful in execution, and so suited to the general want, as to command universal and unqualified approbation, but such has been the case with Miss Youmans' First Book of Botany. It has been everywhere welcomed as a timely and invaluable contribution to the improvement of primary education."Pall Mall Gazette.

Zimmern (Helen).

STORIES IN PRECIOUS STONES. With Six Illustrations. Third Edition. Crown 8vo. 5s.

"A series of pretty tales which are half fantastic, half natural, and pleasantly quaint, as befits stories intended for the young."-Daily Telegraph.

"A pretty little book which fanciful young persons will appreciate, and which will remind its readers of many a legend, and many an imaginary virtue attached to the gems they are so fond of wearing."-Post.
