BIDDER, G. P.
On Mental Calculation
Once, when young Bidder was exhibiting
before a large school, and giving an idea what
a nice thing it must be never to be kept
in for arithmetic, the boys were invited to
propose questions out of their Walkingame.
One of the younger ones seeing a question with
Newton in it, thought it must be something
very deep, and proposed it. It was "Newton
was born in 1642 and died in 1727, how old
was he when he died ?" On which the school
master remarked "Why, you stupid fellow, I
could almost do that myself". It is not Mr.
Bidder who tells this story: we vouch for it
ourselves.

Teneriffe, an Astronomer's Experiment
It has long been a favourite idea of astronomers,
started by Newton, that the "serene
and quiet air, such as perhaps may be found on
the tops of the highest mountains, above the
grosser clouds" would very much favour astronomical
observation. But it has never
happened that any astronomer has undertaken to
convey large instruments to a height sufficient
to test this very probable piece of speculation.

The Works of Francis Bacon
5 volumes.
The day of trade editions is dawning again,
under happier circumstances than marked the
last close. Fifteen firms have now produced
what we can call no less than a noble edition of
the philosophical works of Bacon. Four of
these houses, the first in the list, affix the words
"and Co." to the names of Longman, Simpkin,
Hamilton, Whittaker; the eleventh bears the
names of Bickers & Bush. Change the order of
the four names, as in Longman, Simpkin,
Whittaker, Hamilton, and we have the order of
the signatures in a letter addressed just nine
years ago to Bickers & Bush, commanding
them, under the form of "earnest intreaty"
attached to words implying "if you don't, you'll
starve," to "take up their ticket," that is, to
come into the trade regulations relative to
retail prices. This letter is memorable in the
history of bookselling. It began the final contest,
which ended, in 1852, in the dissolution
of the "Booksellers' Association," and the
admission of the right of every retailer to sell
at any price he chose, by the award of Lord
Campbell, Dr. Milman, and Mr. Grote, to whom
the said Association had referred the question.
We have much gratification in seeing the "great
underselling house" joined with its old opponents
in one of the most legitimate of unions;
and we have pleasure in calling attention to the
fact that there are comities of trade, as well as
committees, by virtue of which the fierce dispute
of one day does not prevent the friendly
combination of another.

Cosmogony? or the Records of the Creation.
His theory is that the precession of the equinoxes is
caused, not by a motion of the earth's axis, but by
a motion of the whole film of the earth over the
internal parts. Accordingly, J udea was on the
equator at the creation, and there the first pair had
their abode. When Caesar invaded Britain, London
was in latitude 40?, the climate of Portugal. We
are all going northward, that is northward a-slant,
and in a couple of thousand years those of us who
remain will want for cloaks. Either Newton or
F. G. S. does not understand the phenomenon of
the precession of the equinoxes; this F. G. S.
himself tells us in his own way.

CLARKE, Capt. A. R.
Ordnance Survey. Account of the Principal Triangulation.
Two volumes, one of plates, one of text.
We shall say nothing to men of science, in reference
to a work of which they can guess at
the contents beforehand. They may go for
themselves to the account of the bases, the
triangulation with all its never-ending processes
of correction, the results geographical and physical.
Our present object is to say a few words
to the reader who is not versed in trigonometry,
relative to a great national undertaking.
But though we ask no knowledge of our reader,
we hold it rather desirable that he should not
confound an angle with a triangle ; and that he
should concede that when the base of a triangle
has been measured or calculated, and the angles
at the ends of the base have been measured,
the two remaining sides of the triangle can
thence be calculated, not by him, but by those
to whom it is given. If, further, he should
have a hazy notion that by brazen instruments
of complicated detail angles are very closely
measured, and a firm resolution not to deny the
utility of a book of logarithms because he
himself only just knows how to place it right
side uppermost, he will be trigonometer enough
for the purposes of this article.

WHEWELL, W.
Novum Organum Renovatum. [Being the second part of the Philosophy of the Inductive Sciences.] Third Edition
Some buyers of the first editions will grumble, and consider themselves
ill-used, because the later editions lower the market value of the earlier. To these we
say, If you bought your book to sell again, you ought to have sold it as soon as you could, as
a bookseller would have done. If you bought it to make a show in the bookcase, the difference
of value between different editions is a mere fancy, for which you ought to pay if you
indulge it. If you bought it to read, it is your own fault, the book being good, if you have not
got money's worth out of it and what more can you ask? It is not the author who is to
blame if you should happen to be like the worthy
country-gentleman who had a snug summerhouse out of the way of interruption, and who
used to point it out to his friends with, Here

DE MORGAN, Prof.
Syllabus of a Proposed System of Logic
De Morgan has a lot of fun reviewing his own books.
The
author here condenses into a shilling tract the
heads, and much more, - why not Synopsis rather
than Syllabus? - of the speculations which he has
in the last twelve years published in the
'Cambridge Transactions', and in his larger work on
Logic ; and thus makes his attack upon the existing
system accessible to students in general. The
tract consists of an objective view, a subjective
view, and controversial notes, with a preface, in
which the author settles the balance of his account
with the late Sir William Hamilton in a description
which mixes eulogy and satire in a most inseparable
way. We shall not undertake to discuss the attack
which Mr. De Morgan makes both upon the logicians
and the mathematicians; upon the former for their
want of the habits of thought acquired by the
mathematician - upon the latter for their neglect of all
examination of the laws of thought. As to this
opposition of classes, the literary world not so
much interested in the great questions of progress
as it will one day become in something like the
position of the Turk of old time to the contests
between Christian nations. "What," said the
Vizier to an Ambassador, who announced that
France and the Empire had gone to war, "does it
matter to the Sublime Porte whether the dog eats
the hog or the hog eats the dog?"

The perpetual motion is, we suppose, so much

it into the title. Not that he is the
advocate of the notion, though, he seems
inclined to hold the balance, and content himself
with putting into the two scales the arguments
which have been used on both sides. He has
made a large and an amusing collection of
trials, and, we may add, a valuable one. So
many practicables have before now turned up
in the search after the impracticable, that the

those who can take them.

Power, and How to Use It: Chapters on Christian Politics
Mr. Tanner is the Curate of Wakefield;

Dr. Primrose had a short and telling way of making
his remarks: Mr. Tanner is somewhat verbose, and
" more flatterer than he might be," as Mrs. Jarley's
servant said of the beer. The book itself is a defence
of every kind of religious meddling of Government
with the people, and of peoples with one another.
But Mr. Tanner follows Mr. Gladstone - we mean
the one of former days, who may have learnt since
then - in thinking that it is only true religion which
has any right to meddle: false religion is bound
not to meddle, and - to be meddled with in humble
submission.

The Bookhunter, Etc
Saving the publishers' imprint, the book before

abbreviated into less than one. This quaint and
amusing production has many good ideas in it;
and among them the title. There is a very large
amount of etc. to a bookhunter; the etceteras
of a book and the etceteras of a bookhunter are
two distinct species of phenomena, which converge
and diverge, and combine, and amalgamate,
and fuse, and coalesce, going all the while
in distinct runs, like the colours in old marbled
paper. We have not been more amused for a

was when they agreed pretty well, in a kind
of uneasy union; but they have long been in a
state of downright warfare, each compassing
the absolute subjugation of the other. Of late
there has been some attempt to arrange the
terms of an armistice; but the success has been
small, and both parties are inclined to appeal
to the educated sense of mankind, as represented
in literature, which, though drawing
supplies from both, does not take a system from
either, and abjures the wild science of philosophy
as much as the whip-and-fetter rule of
theology. We now drop our parallel, of which
we give warning, that our readers may not be
looking for depth where depth is none.

to Prof. De Morgan, that Hamilton did not
mean to employ his own new form of "some"

takes no notice of this point, of which, perhaps,
he has heard nothing. hose of our readers who

Stebbing, W.
Analysis of Mr. Mill's System of Logic
Mr. Stebbing has done his work as well as it deserves
to be done. The 'Analysis ' is, no doubt, intended
for poor lads who are to be examined ; and of all the
subjects on which the examination mania has laid
hands, logic and mental philosophy have been most
hardly used by the examiners. Nothing more
unsatisfactory can be imagined: but nothing less
unsatisfactory ought to have been intended by an
analyzer, or rather an evaporator, intending to
produce an examination residuum. Hierocles has
made a joke of a man who carried about a brick as
a specimen of a house he wanted to sell: but any
modern builder would have felt that a single brick
is something of a guide. The modern "analysis"
of a book is nothing so good as this; it is a little
powder scraped off from each brick, and the results
packed in separate papers: a dull, dry, and detest-
able compound. "But," as Mr. Stebbing says,
"to make an analysis throughly readable is a harder
task than those who have never tried may suppose."
John Mills 'Logic' is, of its class, one of the most
readable books: we would venture a wager that
any one would get through it in half the time
which its analysis would take.

superfluous: all who have studied the physiology

GROTE, George
Review of the Work of Mr. John Stuart Mill, entitled 'Examination of Sir William Hamilton's Philosophy'
The whole is a pleasant exhibition of the way
in which men of real depth differ from one
another. We except from approval the account
given of their differences in pure logic. When
Mr. Grote finds out that there is no real difference
between judgments in extension and in
comprehension, he seems to us to have no
meaning for the words except one which he
derives from a misapprehension fallen into by
Hamilton.
