“Till Rome shall fall, the City of the Seven Hills will be inexhaustible as a subject of interest. ‘Roba di Roma’ contains the gatherings of an honest observer and a real artist....

Heat considered as a Mode of Motion.
Being a Course of Twelve Lectures delivered at the Royal Institution of Great Britain. By John Tyndall, F.R.S. Author of “The Glaciers of the Alps.” 1 vol., 12mo. With 101 illustrations. Cloth. $2.
“No one can rend Dr. Tyndall’s book without being impressed with the intensity of the author’s conviction of the truth of the theory which it is his object to illustrate, or with the boldness with which he confronts the difficulties which lie encounters.... Dr. Tyndall’s is the first work in which the undulatory or mechanical theory of heat has been placed in a popular light; but we are sure that no one, however profound his knowledge upon the subject of which it treats, will rise from its perusal without a feeling that he has been both gratified and instructed in a high degree while reading its pages.”—London Reader.
