Macfarlane, Isabella. Royal knight: a tale of Nuremburg. [†]$1.25. Dillingham.
A story of 15th century Nuremburg, and of twin sisters of a poor and widowed mother, one betrothed to a wool-merchant’s son, the other, loved by a young German officer whose father is chief magistrate. Because the girl holds her honor above her love, the magistrate’s son attempts to force her consent by accusing her mother of witchcraft. Imprisonment and torture follow, but thru the loyalty of the daughters and the advent of their champion, who is no other than Emperor Maximilian, all ends happily.

Macfarlane, Walter. Laboratory notes on practical metallurgy: being a graduated series of exercises. [*]80c. Longmans.
“This little book is apparently intended as a first course for beginners in practical work in a metallurgical laboratory.... It consists of a series of practical exercises, all well within the grasp of the average boy, graduated and well arranged with a view of developing the habit of observation.... The student is introduced to furnace work.... The preparation of the ordinary common alloys follows.... Later, the more complex subject of the principles on which the process for the extraction of copper, lead, gold, and silver from their ores depend is dealt with. The book concludes with a few elementary exercises in assaying gold and silver ores, and the analysis of coal and coke.”—Nature.
