Cassell's Book of Sports and Pastimes. (Cassell, Petter, Galpin, and
Co.)—In preparing this capital book for boys, the compiler has given the words " sport " and " pastime " their widest signification- It treats of every outdoor game, from cricket to marbles. Portions of the book are also devoted to games of skill, recreative science, the amateur workshop, and the treatment of home pets.—Cassell's Book of Indoor Amusements. (Cassell, Petter, Galpin, and Co.)— This work is intended as a companion-volume to the preceding one, and being devoted to indoor games and amusements, forms a fitting supplement to the other.—In the same connection may be mentioned the Boy's Own Toy-maker, by E. Landells, revised and enlarged (Griffith and Ferran), the popularity of which may be estimated from the fact that it has reached its seventeenth edition. All three works are copiously illustrated.
