Abstract
WE are indebted to Dr. Carl Diener, of the University of Vienna, for an able monograph on the geological and physical formation of the Lebanon and surrounding districts, accompanied by maps, sections, and illustrations reproduced from photographs.1 Notwithstanding the observations of Russegger, Fraas, and others, on the physical features and structure of this region, a complete monograph on its geology has long been a desideratum, and the work of Dr. C. Diener forms a fitting continuation of the survey of Lartet in Palestine, and of the Palestine Exploration Society in Arabia Petræa and the Jordan Valley.

Mr. Sully (Nineteenth Century June 1886) has shown that men of feeling are more precocious than men of thought; but the difference in the age at which their first great work is done, though in favour of men of feeling, is very slight indeed.
