"We congratulate British entomologists on the completion and
publication of this magnificent work."—Field.
" Both to the beginner and the proficient in that study this work
will be invaluable. '—Daily Telegraph..
" It is illustrated with life-size figures from nature of each species,
and of the more striking varieties, and it possesses great advant.'ges
over all similar works, inasmuch as the caterpillar of each moth,
with his habits and season, is described. This, to collectors, will be
an immense boon, and by its means they will be enabled to obtain
many rare specimens."—Standard.
"The completion of Mr. Newman' work on the British Moths is a
benefit to entomologists of all classes. It is at once a text-book by a
high authority, most valuable for reference, and a handsome, taste-
fully got-up volume, which will be an ornament to any library or
drawing-room table. It embodies the results of many years'
earnest and intelligent work by one whose reputation as an ento-
mologist deservedly stands high. . . . We notice also with
satisfaction that Mr. Newman's descriptions, whilst thoroughly
scientific and minute, are given in plain and unaffected English.
With the help of these and the very excellent woodcuts, even a
very young collector may with ease identify any moth he may cap-
ture. The figures are so well drawn that there is no need of colour
to render them life-like. . . . . We unhesitatingly commend
this volume to our readers. We regard it as very useful addition to
our library." Land and Weer, Oct. 9.

DEAN STANLEY ON THE WAR.—On Sunday
morning the Very Rev. Dr. Stanley, the Dean of West-
minster, preached at Westminster, and made a brief refer-
ence to the impending war. He selected for his text the
12th chapter of St. John's Gospel, verse 27, " Now is my
soul troubled, and what shall I say ?" He said they might
well ask, amongst the troubles of the times, why Europe,
which had enjoyed many years of peace and prosperity,
was allowed to be overrun with the horrors of war
blighting it may be, smiling harvests, destroying human
life, and laying waste beautiful cities. Why
was the progress of the world to be arrested? Why were
ruin, distrust, and destruction to be brought in the homes
of innocent families, elf-denying fathers to be slaughtered,
and little children left uncared for ? They could not help
asking such questions, but no answers came. Christ
asked them before, but He obtained no answer.
In one sense there was no answer at all, for
it was impossible to know what were the designs of
Providence. It might be part of an inevitable trial of a
perplexed world, of which no knowledge could at present
be gained. But in another sense the question could be
answered just as Christ answered it, by not giving way to
despair, looking to a better future rather than a miserable
present—to a higher and brighter heaven beyond the pre-
sent lowering sky,
