CURVE PICTURES OF LONDON

FOR THE
THE SOCIAL REFORMER.

A Series of Twenty-one Statistical Diagrams of Social Data.
By ALEX. B. MACDOWALL, M.A.

[blocks in formation]

THE EDUCATION' CURVE PICTURE.

'The great increase in the Board School System, and the decline in the Voluntary, will be noted.'

The Subjects illustrated by 'Curve Pictures' are:—

Population; Density of Population; Birth, Marriage, and Death Rates; Early Marriages; Death by Disease (4 diagrams); Suicides; Drunkenness and Felonies; Licensed Houses; Police Apprehensions; Felonies and Property; Pauperism (4 diagrams); Education; Illiteracy; Prices of Commodities; Prices of Meat.

The SCOTSMAN says: The pictures represent by the course of a curve, in graded diagrams, the state of the metropolis with regard to population, birth and death rates, suicides, drunkenness, pauperism, education, and other matters which form the special concern of the social reformer. The little work is exceedingly well done, and expresses a very great deal, with a terseness and clearness not attainable by words.'

OPEN CHURCHES.-THE QUESTION OF THE HOUR.
Ready Immediately, 128 pp. crown 8vo. sewed. ONE SHILLING.

THE KEYS OF ST. MARTIN'S.

In a dramatically conceived and effectively written story the subject of a Free and Open Church is ably dealt with. The difficulties of a reforming Vicar in overcoming the opposition of the People's Warden' are cleverly and humorously sketched; and-apart from the purpose' of the work—the story possesses sufficient interest to gratify the ordinary Novel-reader.

ARTISTIC JAPAN:

A MONTHLY ILLUSTRATED JOURNAL OF ARTS AND INDUSTRIES.

CONDUCTED BY S. BING.

Each part is issued in a most attractive COLOURED WRAPPER (the Coloured Illustration to be varied monthly), and, in addition to Illustrated Text, contains

TEN ÷ ROYAL ÷ QUARTO + COLOURED & PLATES ÷ IN ÷ EACH ÷ PART,

Being Reproductions of Work by the best Japanese Artists.

PRICE TWO SHILLINGS

EACH.

The Collaboration of several of the best English Authorities on Japanese Art, including Dr. WM. ANDERSON, Mr. HUISH, Editor of The Art Journal,' &c., has been secured.

The new magazine is a sumptuous folio, and the greater part of the contents consists of loose plates, very beautiful and carefully executed specimens of colour printing, representing various examples of the decorative art of a nation of inborn decorators. The letterpress, which is to be contributed by Mr. S. Bing, Mr. Marcus Huish, and other competent authorities, is at once descriptive and expository, and the new venture, for which we hope all success, will be not merely a storehouse of beautiful things, but an instructive guide to the noble art product with which it deals.'

MANCHESTER EXAMINER.

The plates are good and useful, the blocks in the text are commendable, and the price is reasonable.'-QUEEN.
