    Price 3s. cloth, bevelled, with photo portrait. James Watson. A Memoir of the days of the fight for a Free Press in England, and of the agitation for the People's Charter. By W. J. Linton. [From the Daily Telegraph, Nov. 18, 1880.] ' Tames Watson,' by W. J. Linton, is a ' Memoir of the fight for the Free Press,' published by Abel Heywood and Son, Manchester. Mr. Heywood, himself, since mayor of the great cotton metropolis, was engaged in the hard contest and a sufferer in person, and he is therefore an appropriate agent in distributing a record so honorable to a noble fore- runner and comrade. Mr. Linton's testimony to his deceased friend carries back the public of our day to a time which, though only ' sixty years since, seems very remote, and though intensly real, looks dim and shadowy to those who profit by the labours of its heroes and martyrs. James Watson, who lived and fought amongst them, was one of the purest and most dis- interested of the band. ' If he had not much fun m him, writes Mr. Linton ' no word a girl should not have heard was ever on his tongue ; his manner, though grave, was cheerful ; patient with opposition ; never querulous; considerate for others in all respects; stoutly set on his own way but tolerant of those who went differently; not harsh, albeit hard against tyranny and vice. Vice of himself he knew not. If ever there was a virtuous man it was he. His moral conduct was irreproachable. Price is. 6d. cloth. The Local Parliamentary Debater's Handbook.

Micro-Fungi: When and Where to find them. By Thomas Brittain, President of the Manchester Microscopical Society. Mr. Brittain is well known to be an enthusiastic microscopist, and the experience of a long life enables him to write of his finds with a pleasant tone, which will doubtless induce many to add fungi-collecting for the microscope to the other attentions of out of door rambles. — Manchester Guardian.
