David jSTufct . "Nasmith's Pratical Linguist , " German . Vols . I & II . London : David Nutt . The above are recently added to the already numerous list of works for facilitating the study of English and Foreign Languages . The System of instruction is based entirely upon natural principles of learning to speak , read , and write . The author has

been assisted in the German work by Herr James Wolach , Mrs . Frederick Bevill , Herr H . Hoffman , and Herr E . Schinzel . The German Grammar of tho Uev . J . G . Harks has also been laid completing the series , based upon the same system .

' The Elements of Plane and Solid Geometry , " By H . W . "Watson , M . A . London : —Longmans & Oo . This is one of a series of Elementary works on Mechanical and Physical Science , forming a set of Text-books of Science adapted for the use of artizans , and of students in public and other schools . This scries is Edited by T . M . Goodheve , M . A . Lecturer on Applied Mathematics at the Royal School of Mines ,

and formerly Professor of Natural Philosphy in King ' s College , London . The Reports of the Public Schools Commission and of tho Schools Inquiry Commission , as well as the evidence taken before several Parliamentary Committees , have shewn that there is still a want of a good series of TVxt-books in Science , thoroughly exact nnd complete , to serve as a basis for the sound instruction of Artizansaud at the same time sufficientlpopular to suit the

, y capacities of beginners . Tho foundation of the Whitworth Scholarships is iu itself an cvidenceoftherecognitionofth-. it want , and a reason for the production of a series of elementary cientific works adapted to that purpose . These books ore calculated to serve for the use of practical men , as well as AM- u . \ net instruction in Hie suujec-is ue « nici . M . oj treat ; and it is hoped that , while retaining that logical clearness and simple sequence of thought which are essential to the

making of a good scientific treatise , the style and subjectmatter will be found to be within the comprehension of working men , and suited to their wants . Messrs . Longmans and Co ., have secured the co-operation of some of the most eminent Professors of , and Writers ou , the various branches of Science comprised in the Series .

Explanatory Mensuration for the use of Schools , By the Eev . A Hiley , M . A . London : —Longmans & Co . No less than 700 questions are propounded to perplex and iustruct the young Scholar . Amongst them are to be found many that have been used in the Oxford Local Examinations . Theanswers to the questions are given which for some reasons although objectionable , enable an earnest student to pursue his studies without the assistance of a master ,

EWIATA . —In the history of the Indefatigable Lodge , No . 237 . last weak , it is stated that a plan for a lodge was approved in 1870 , which should have been 1810 . Iu the " Freemasons' Magazine" of July 8 th appears a report of Lome Lodge , Sutton . This should have been headed the

Frederick Lodge of Unity , recently removed from Croydon to Sutton . The error arose from the f ' acf that the brother furnishing the report neglected tostato the name or number of the lodge . The editor not being aware of the removal , on reference dune to the conclusion that it must be the Lome Lodge , that being the only lodge recorded as meeting in Sutton . The reports of Harrow Lodge , No . 1310 , and Burdett Coutts Lodge , No . 127 S , were received too late for insertion iu the present number .
