ONOURABLE LORD WINDSOR. =MILLAIS=, SIR JOHN EVERETT. By J. EADIE REID, Author of "The Schools and Methods of Christian Art." =WILKIE=, SIR DAVID. By PROFESSOR BAYNE. _Red Cloth, Pocket Size, Price 50 Cents._ NEW IDEAS ON BRIDGE. BY ARCHIBALD DUNN, JUN. The universal reception given to _Bridge, and How to Play it_, is a sufficient proof of Mr. Archibald Dunn's fitness to give us further views on this increasingly popular and exciting game. In this volume the author deals with the many points of contention at present agitating the minds of Bridge players. In particular, he advances a novel theory as to "Declarations" and "Doubling," which is not unlikely to revolutionise existing methods, and to result in placing these two difficulties of the game on a thoroughly sound and solid basis. CONTENTS:--Common-sense in Bridge Declarations--Science of Bridge Declarations--Doubling and Re-doubling--Some Points of the Game--Bridge _v_. Whist--Chaos of Bridge--Great Imperfection of Bridge. The Contemporary Science Series. Edited by Havelock Ellis. _12mo. Cloth. Price $1.50 per Volume._ I. THE EVOLUTION OF SEX. By Prof. PATRICK GEDDES and J.A. THOMSON. With 90 Illustrations. Second Edition. "The authors have brought to the task--as indeed their names guarantee--a wealth of knowledge, a lucid and attractive method of treatment, and a rich vein of picturesque language."--_Nature._ II. ELECTRICITY IN MODERN LIFE. By G.W. DE TUNZELMANN. With 88 Illustrations. "A clearly written and connected sketch of what is known about electricity and magnetism, the more prominent modern applications, and the principles on which they are based."--_Saturday Review._ III. THE ORIGIN OF THE ARYANS. By Dr. ISAAC TAYLOR. Illustrated. Second Edition. "Canon Taylor is probably the most encyclopaedic all-round scholar now living.
