Anonymous. ENCYCLOPÆDIA BRITANNICA, THE: A Dictionary [78] of Arts, Sciences, and General Literature. Ninth Edition.

Boston: Little, Brown & Co. 1875, etc. 4to. 34 russia, marbled edges.

This is the unabridged English Edition, printed in Edinburgh. Only 22 volumes have yet been published [March, 1888]. The issue is necessarily slow, and though three volumes were issued in 1875 only two a year have since been published; while for the years 1878, 1880, 1882, 1884, and 1887 only one volume was given to the public. The new Issue has been mainly remarkable for the abandonment of its previous subdivision of subjects under multifold heads and the adoption in their place of elaborate and exhaustive articles on main subjects, leaving the minute headings to the care of an Index. No fewer than 19,000 pages of printed matter and 277 plates have been published, and the work has only reached "Szo." It is under the Editorship of Professor Thomas Spencer Baynes.

In a short Preface to Vol. I. he explained the principles on which the articles would be written, and a useful slip is given at the commencement of each Volume recording the names of the Authors of the Principal Contents.

It is humorously related that a learned village schoolmaster wrote a "brief pamphlet" on the "differential calculus" and wrote to the Publishers of the Encyclopædia complaining that they had incorporated his pamphlet in their work verbatim without acknowledgment or remuneration. They answered by following Mail that desiring to make instant amends they authorized him to incorporate a verbatim copy of the Encyclopædia in the next Edition of his "brief pamphlet."

.. At the end of the seven Essays by Dr. Temple, Rowland Williams, Baden Powell, H. Bristow Wilson, C. W. Goodwin, Mark Pattison, and Benjamin Jowett is given in an Appendix a Note on the "Phalaris Controversy" which wets the appetite of the reader to turn to Disraeli's graphic account of that battle royal of literary battles royal given in his Quarrels of Authors (1880, New York, Vol. II., 199–217). A Sermon by Dr. Temple (while Head Master of Rugby) on the Present Relations of Science to Religion (July 1, 1860) closes the volume.

Anonymous.-FAIRMOUNT PARK. First, Second and Third An[80] nual Reports of the Commissioners. Philadelphia: King and Baird. 1869, 1870, and 1871. 8vo. Half morocco. Each Report has a Map, and from the three may be gathered an accurate idea of the land dedicated to the public use by the Acts of 1867 and 1868, their former ownership, and the vast public gain which has ensued by the preservation of this magnificent "city lung." The third Report contains engravings of the principal views in this charming Park, and would form an inciting Guide Book to visitors in search of the beautiful.

... These volumes consist of fine outline engravings, of Portraits, each with a biographical memoir-Pictures with remarks critical and explanatory-and Sculpture. Each volume has its own independent Table of Contents, but there is no general Index to the whole work.

There are 282 Portraits, 188 Paintings, and 35 engravings of celebrated statuary. The Portraits are interesting, as many of them give representations of noted personages materially differing from the general portrait popularly known. The Portraits are given in each volume alphabetically and the Paintings and Sculpture in the order of their enumeration in the "Contents."

There are eight views of the Hospital as far as it was at that time completed and showing the building as designed to appear when all should be finished.

The references to the Latitude and Longitude enable the searcher to use this Index equally well with any other large atlas he may have at hand.
