Our Kitchen Garden: The Plants we Grow, and How we Cook Them. By TOM JERROLD, Author of "The Garden that Paid the Rent," &c. Post 8vo, cloth limp, 2s. 6d.

"The combination of hints on cookery with gardening has been very cleverly carried out, and the result is an interesting and highly instructive little work. Mr. Jerrold is correct in saying that English people do not make half the use of vegetables they might; and by showing how easily they can be grown, and so obtained fresh, he is doing a great deal to make them more popular."-DAILY CHRONICLE.

By HENRY S. LEIGH, Author of "Carols of Cockayne."

SECOND EDITION.-Crown 8vo, cloth extra, with Illustrations, 6s. Leisure-Time Studies, chiefly Biological.

By ANDREW WILSON, F.R.S.E., Lecturer on Zoology and Comparative Anatomy in the Edinburgh Medical School.

"It is well when we can take up the work of a really qualified investigator. who in the intervals of his more serious professional labours sets himself to impart knowledge in such a simple and elementary form as may attract and instruct, with no danger of misleading the tyro in natural science. Such a work is this little volume, made up of essays and addresses written and delivered by Dr. Andrew Wilson, lecturer and examiner in science at Edinburgh and Glasgow, at leisure intervals in a busy professional life. Dr. Wilson's pages teem with matter stimulating to a healthy love of science and a reverence for the truths of nature."-SATURDAY REVIEW.

Lunatic Asylum, My Experiences in a.

By a SANE PATIENT.

"The story is clever and interesting, sad beyond measure though the subject te. There is no personal bitterness, and no violence or anger. Whatever may have been the evidence for our author's madness when he was consigned to an asylum, nothing can be clearer than his sanity when he wrote this book; it is bright, calm, and to the point."-SPECTATOR.

"This deeply interesting volume.
It is the most powerful vin-
dication of religion, both natural and revealed, that has appeared since Bishop
Butler wrote, and is much more useful than either the Analogy or the Ser-
mons of that great divine, as a refutation of the peculiar form assumed by
the infidelity of the present day.
Deeply philosophical as the book
is, there is not a heavy page in it. The writer is possessed, so to speak,
with his great subject, has sounded its depths, surveyed it in all its extent,
and brought to bear on it all the resources of a vivid, rich, and impassioned
style, as well as an adequate acquaintance with the science, the philosophy,
and the literature of the day."-IRISH DAILY NEWS.

"The fun and tenderness of the conception, of which no living man but Mark Twain is capable, its grace and fantasy and slyness, the wonderful feeling for animals that is manifest in every line, make of all this episode of Fim Baker and his jays a piece of work that is not only delightful as mere reading, but also of a high degree of merit as literature. The book is

full of good things, and contains passages and episodes that are equal to the funniest of those that have gone before."—ATHENÆUM
