who is doing most to 80 olucidate the great facts
of science as to bring them down to the eompre-
hension Of the mass Of the people. All Of sci
encc may not be thus smplfod, but great deal
more than has been may bc Mr. Nichols proved
himself adapted to this important work in some
Of his previous publications, and we have no hes.
itaton in recommending this volume as model
Of what may be accomplished in this branch Of
popular instruction The essays are brief and are
wholly unoucumbcred with abstract reasonings
and technicaltie. Most Of them have been al
rendy published in the Boston Journal Of Chem
[ istry. while particularly those on Agri-
oulture-haye formed the basis for addresses, dis
cussions, &C., before State Boards Of Agriculture,
farmers meetings &C. As specimens Of the sub
ects treated, we n)to the following " The ORR

! Hens Egg, Rebreathed Air, " Chemistry Of
La Cigar" " The Human Hair, " Chemistry Of
the Human Body" The Relations Of Water to
Agriculture, " The Food of Plants" &C.

Jouv J,,rrns Sfcaxr A sequel tn Charles
/ Dickens Mystery Of Edwin brood I. y.
Peterson Il Brothers, Philadelphia.
This work is written by two Of the intimate
friends Of Charles Dickens who have carried out
the plot from remarks aud memoranda signifying
how he intended 10 work out his design. The
only change which the authors have made from
Dickens original plan, is that they have brought
Edwin brood to life again, which we consider
great improvement on the original plot for sure
ly novel must lose much Of IL interest with the
death of its chief character
The authors Of " John Jaspers Secret have
performed their task with singular success they
have taken mp the broken thread of the story and
completed it with fidelity to the characters as
created by the great novelist, and carried them
out with viror and yiyacity worthy Of the great
master himself They have also caught in great
measure his styl so much so, that reader I'M
aware Of the change in writers would scarcely
know where the dead left OF and his living exec
utors commenced
