The Cambridge Examiner. A monthly publication (excepting the months of
July and August). (London : Edward Stanford. Cam- bridge : Macmillan and Bowes.)—This seems a useful publication for testing the proficiency of students (women apparently being those chiefly contemplated) who are intending to try for the Cambridge senior or junior and women's examinations. We do not clearly under- stand whether there are three months in which the publication will not appear, namely, July, August, and December, or only the two former. In two places the two former months are excepted, and in one place all three are mentioned as months of no-publication. Papers (and so far as we have examined the mathematical papers, we should say very good, if somewhat easy, papers) are set, which students who choose to answer them for their own satisfaction, may reply to, and their answers will be estimated and criticised by the various examiners for £3 3s. per annum, that sum entitling the candidate to have her answers in all the papers on the subjects she takes for one examination, examined and estimated! The publication appears a thoroughly useful one.
