wide popularity may safely be predicted. DR. Smiles
has made specially of the portrayal of the pictur-
ssque incidents of self-education and his works,
"sef- Hep" and Lives of the Engineers" have be-
come classic in many languages. His last work prior
to the present was OH kindred subject, giving

cannot be considered premature. The career OF
Robert Dick was one that well deserved to be mar

The art of reading has during the last lustrum, at
