The Influence of Railway Travelling on Public Health.

From the Lancet.

'We strongly recommend the work to all who are connected with the management of railways, or in the habit of travelling by them. The mass of evidence goes to prove that whilst the actual danger of life in travelling by rail is comparatively small, that to health is, from various causes, considerable.

It is scarcely within our province to pronounce upon its merits in a professional point of view; but we may observe that it seems to be the production of a gentleman who has given long and careful study to his subject, and who, knowing it thoroughly, both through his own independent investigations and the writings of others, is entitled to speak upon it with authority."-Caledonian Mercury.

Additions. 68 Woodcuts and 3 beautiful Coloured Chromo-litho-

The County Families ;

or, Royal Manual of the Titled and Untitled Aristocracy of the Three Kingdoms, is now ready in one splendid volume. It contains a complete Peerage, Baronetage, Knightage, and Dictionary of the Landed Commoners of England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland, and gives a brief notice of the Descent, Birth, Marriage, Education, and Appointments of each Person, his Heir Apparent or Presumptive, a Record of the Offices which he has held, together with his Town Address and Country Residences. By EDWARD WALFORD, M.A., late Scholar of Balliol College, Oxford.

"It possesses advantages which no other work of the kind that we know of has offered hitherto. Containing all that is to be found in others, it furnishes information respecting families of distinction which are not to be found in the latter. It will prove to be invaluable in the library and drawing-room."-Spectator.

"To produce such a work in the perfection which characterizes 'County Families,' must have been an almost Herculean task. It is sufficient for us to say that accuracy even in the minutest details appears to have been the aim of Mr. Walford, and the errors are so few aud slight, that they may readily be passed over."-Weekly Register.
