rice 7s. 6d. "This is essentially a book for amateurs, and every amateur who is fortunate enough to be its possessor, or who may merely skim over its pages, will, we are assured, agree with us in regarding its author as being entitled to great praise for the simple and clear manner in which he has explained the cultural directions, which, if carefully complied with, will enable the non-professional floriculturist to grow plants as well as any gardener."--_Gardeners' Chronicle, March 14, 1868._ _Second Edition of Mr Kinglake's New Volumes._ THE INVASION OF THE CRIMEA. With some additional Notes and Observations in reply to Sir John Burgoyne. By A. W. Kinglake, M.P. Volumes III. & IV. With numerous Maps and Plans, price 34s. GEOLOGY FOR GENERAL READERS. A SERIES OF POPULAR SKETCHES IN GEOLOGY AND PALAEONTOLOGY. By DAVID PAGE, LL.D. F.R.S.E. F.G.S. Second Edition, containing several New Chapters. Price 6s. "Few of our handbooks of popular science can be said to have greater or more decisive merit than those of Mr Page on Geology and Palaeontology. They are clear and vigorous in style, they never oppress the reader with a pedantic display of learning, nor overwhelm him with a pompous and superfluous terminology; and they have the happy art of taking him straightway to the face of nature herself, instead of leading him by the tortuous and bewildering paths of technical system and artificial classification."--_Saturday Review._ "This is one of the best of Mr Page's many good books. It is written in a flowing popular style. Without illustration or any extraneous aid, the narrative must prove attractive to any intelligent reader."--_Geological Magazine._ THE LIFE OF ST COLUMBA, APOSTLE OF CALEDONIA.
