    of Harrison y Ainsworththe taste for which ! seems to be diminishing , , much to the disadvantage of English fiction . * A King ' s Ransom' is

    a good historical novel , and few more interesting places could have been selected for its scenes than the quaint old town of Ipswich .

    Those who have seen or heard of the ' Ancient I House' will have peculiar interest in reading 1 this story .

    may be said with equal truth now that the marvels of the heavens do not enter even into : the dreams of hundreds and thousands of

    workaday people , who may yet have some philosophic theory , Darwinian or otherwise , of the ;

    universe . There are few studies more interesting and elevating than that of astronomy , and , although the possession of a good telescope and the knowledge C 7 of mathematics add gTeatly «^ •/ to

    its attractions , yet the former with thrift may be purchased , and , as Lord Grimthorpe teaches in his excellent little book , ' Astronomy without Mathematics' the latter is not

    absolutelessential . Dr . Weiss ; ' s handsome volume is y one of those books the sight of which immediately creates a desire to investigate the subject dealt

    with . It is written in a clear and graphic style , and the illustrations leave nothing to be desired . They consist of forty-one beautifully coloured

    lithographs , besides numerous illustrations printed in the text . The position of Director of the Observatory at the Imperial Royal Vienna

    University , so ably filled by the author , designates him at once as the proper person to selects and describe ~ i i ~ i- the b— — illustration ~ s of — - such b & a work as fe ^^^^^ b # & ^^^^ b ^^^ , ^ tv p ^^ ^^ ^^ p ** ' *^ ^ ^^ . ^ ^ p * ^ ^^ ^^^ ¦ ^^^ ^ v ^^ * ^ ^ pr ^ pto ^ ^^*^ m m ^^ ^ p ^ p ^^ ^^^ p ^ p ^ p * ^ pk ^ ph ^ p ^ w ^ V ^^^ rfl . ^ pb ^ i ^ ^ pi ^^ ppi ^ ' '
