THE EARTH'S CRUST.
A Handy Outline of Geology. With numerous Illustrations. Third Edition.
By DAVID PAGE, LL.D., F.R.S.E., F.G.S.,
Author of 'Text-Books of Geology and Physical Geography,' etc.
'Such a work as this was much wanted,--a work giving in clear and
intelligible outline the leading facts of the science, without
amplification or irksome details. It is admirable in arrangement, and
clear, easy, and at the same time forcible, in style. It will lead, we
hope, to the introduction of geology into many schools that have neither
time nor room for the study of large treatises.'--_The Museum._

poultry-yard a profitable as well as pleasant pursuit, and to popularize
poultry-rearing among the rural population generally.'--_The Globe._

By BERNARD STUART, Engineer.
'Parents and guardians, with youths under their charge destined for the
profession, as well as youths themselves, who intend to adopt it, will
do well to study and obey the plain curriculum in this little book. Its
doctrine will, we hesitate not to say, if practised, tend to fill the
ranks of the profession with men conscious of the heavy responsibilities
placed in their charge.'--_Practical Mechanic's Journal._
IV.

youthful bride in one of her most important domestic duties.'--_Glasgow

Carlyle as the only proper method of teaching history. The style of the
book is clear, elegant, and terse. The biographies are well, and, for
