ed as
accurately as the limited space allows. It is a vast aid to the memory,
showing at a glance the classification of the animal kingdom; and,
bringing together the various groups of animals on one page, it stamps
its complicated lesson on the mind through the rapid power of the eye.
When the enormous number of species is considered, the advantage of such
a chart may be readily imagined. It may be used as an introduction by
the teacher, or side by side with any text book. We heartily recommend
it to notice.

PERCE'S MAGNETIC GLOBES. A very ingenious invention is here offered
to the public through Mr. J. F. Trow, of 50 Greene street, New York.
It consists of a hollow Globe made of soft iron, and Magnetic
Objects, representing the races of mankind, animals, trees,
light-houses, are supplied with it, which, _adhering to the
surface_, illustrate clearly the attraction of gravitation, the
rotundity of the earth, its diurnal motion, the changes of day and
night, and many other things very difficult to make intelligible to
children. Teachers will find this globe and its magnetic objects of
incalculable value in affording facilities for striking
illustrations of principles, problems, and various terrestrial
phenomena.

CHRISTUS JUDEX. A Traveller's Tale. By EDWARD ROTH. Philadelphia:
Frederick Leypoldt. 1864.

A singular romance, interwoven of the art life of the Old, and the
forest life of the New World. The main character is the _Great Stone
Face_, already immortalized by the lamented Hawthorne. It is here
presented to us under a new aspect, and while we think that even those
grand old rocks fail to embody the glorious ideal of a Christus Judex,
we must acknowledge the pleasure we have derived from the fanciful
descriptions and pleasant associations offered us in this dainty little
volume.
