It will not be disputed that Dr. Hol- Dbrook has made suma valuablo contributions to our knowledge .of that poinful—we might most say tundamental—complaint, dyspepsia} d it scems probable that o bus also thrown some 1lhhr. on its next-door nelghbor, uervous- ness. e does not attempt to lay down empir- ical rules, or to give dirgctions without rezand to speeial condltfons of mind and body, Hia wbject Is only to state genéral principles, which the patient may apply as eircumstances direct. The indlcations for treatment are, says Dr, Hol- brook, fourfold: First, we mustremove the caase, restors the tona of the' heart,improva the blvod. All juriuus habite must be given ups lste hours and Intemper- ce 1n eating abandoned ; smoking, If practiced, pped. econdly, the food mnat ba “sbandant d wholesome, It should nut bo llonry. and ups had better bo avotded as long as solid fond can be taken., Thirdly, eight hours' slecp shonld ba taken evory night if possible.

A chauge of sceno, alr, with cheerful society and sea-Lathiing, are excellent agente for caring nervs onsncss in connection with the foregoing, o . . Avoid phiysic—it exhausts the tune of the aystom, which you ought to restore. Dr, Holbrook quotes with approval the opin- lons of Dr. C. B. Radcliffe, F, R. C, P., who be- lleves thiat a generous diet, gentle, Intelicctual occupation and open-air exercise are useful rem- edies for nervousness, Ile thinks, howover, that the value of walking it overestimated; and that paticuts sometimes exhaust themselves in this way, when they would do much better by resting quletly in an easy chair with plenty of {resti air indoors. The book contatns, fn addl- tion to the discussion of the subject by tha author, the opinions of leading physiclaus and sclentltic men lu regard to bralu-work and brafn- disease, and an sccount of “the physical and .intellectual hobits of ditingulshed men and women, as described by themscives.'

It pives, in & slugle good-sized volume, a succinct, yet very sstisfactory, discussion of the subject, and will mecta long-felt want. Three manuals on the same subject have been published within the fast year or two, oua by Dr. Farrar in the Lit- erature Primer scries, another by Lr. Leonhard Schinftz, and & third Is just sunounced by Prof, Simcox. AN of these, howcver, are 8o small that they can only give the barest outlines of the subject. Dunlop’s magnificent history, pub- lished Afty yeurs ago, fa out of print and very scarce, aud 15 8lso too voluminous for the gen- eral reader. Tho part which Roman literature played in the development of the human mind, and fts fo- fluence on modern thought, has becn so great that the atudy of it wili always be not only use- ful hut Indispensable. Trua it fs that lterature was not a native product with the lomans, that it was neves really popular, that it only partial- 1y reticets the institutions and genius of the peo- ple; yet it has characieristies which makes it fully'as important to be studicd as that of fts more gifted sister, Greece. Its untform digoity and exact_syntax, its clearness and precision, wake the Lot lauguage a model botb for stu- dents i colleges and for literary men. More than this: the Latiu far mora than the Greok governed the mind and thougnt in the middle sges, and o the Elghteenth Century ruled Europe with despotie sway. Tho English lan guore also I8 far mors jndebted to Latin than Greck lor its vocabulary. ‘The developmcent of Latin literature is very peculiar, The Romans, thuugh so closely related to the Gireeks as olfsboots of the sumo Indo- European faintly, scein to bave had very little, ".‘P tasto for letters, "Thelr barren mythology sdmitted of no poetic interpretation, The State wns tinelr 1dol, and for its sake they were con- tent to sacrifice everythiog.

Litorary produc- tlons must ever bo spoutancous, and when the sttempt was mude to compel geulus to speak st all times in the same phirascs, its wings were hopelessly fettered. But even though 1t was so clafmed, the Roman character BIG TREES IN AUSTRALIA. R. D. Adams, of Sydney, New South Wales, writes to the London Zimes as follows: *No much attentlon is now being turned to this tree for plantatlons in Europe for sanitary purposes, that it may not be out of place to mention that it is only one out of a large varlety of anti- malarfal trees, and by no means the best as re- iurds the quantity and strength of volatile vil in its leaves, etc., nor the value ol fts timber,” thotieh the large size of {ts sced and Its extravr- dinary quickness of early growih (as compared witn its congeners) has foreed it futo notice, and as it does not thrive fu all parts of these colonies even, it mav be wise for those who are luying out plantations of It st homo to also try some othier kinds lu case the ons sort falls,” either wholly or mmpmuvel?n *¢ Nearly the whols of our Australian trees are rich n these pecultar essentlal ofls; and it is doubtless owing to this thas the atmosphete Is 80 exhilorating, aud that no such thing s ever known as fover on newly-cleared jands (as i Canada, Indis, ete.).
