ard work. It is not merely as a novel, however, that Coningsby is interesting, but as a popular exposition of the author's political ideas. It is a valuable contribution to popular literature."--_Weekly Chronicle._ * * * * * A NEW SYSTEM OF GEOLOGY. BY THE VERY REV. WILLIAM COCKBURN, D.D., DEAN OF YORK. Dedicated to Professor Sedgwick. Small 8vo., price 3s. 6d. * * * * * ZOOLOGICAL RECREATIONS. By W. J. BRODERIP, Esq., F.R.S. CHEAPER EDITION, 1 vol., post 8vo., 7s. 6d. bound.

All is humourously and artlessly told, and the plain truth finds its way at once to the reader's heart and feelings."--_Court Journal._ * * * * * POPULAR NEW NOVELS AND ROMANCES. * * * * * THE WILMINGTONS.
