In these Manuals the authors have aimed, not so much to give informa&shy;tion, as to endeavour to discipline the mind in a way which has not hitherto been customary, by bringing it into immediate contact with ''Nature herself. For this purpose a series of simple experiments (to be performed by the teacher) has been devised, leading up to the chief truths'' ''of each Science. Thus the power of observation in the pupils will be'' ''awakened and strengthened. Each Manual is copiously illustrated, and'' appended are lists of all the necessary apparatus, with prices, and ''directions as to how they may be obtained. Professor Huxley's introduc&shy;tory'' volume has been delayed through the illness of the author, but it is ''now expected to appear very shortly. “They are wonderfully clear and'' lucid in their instruction, simple in style, and admirable in plan.” — .
