"All the papers contained in the volume are real additions to the knowledge of the subject with which they deal. For three of the studies Prof. Young is either in part or wholly responsible, and he is to be congratulated on the vigour shown by the Manchester School of Anatomists."—Nature.

"This work affords admirable evidence of the virility of our younger British Universities. It is a notable addition to an already notable series."—Medical Review.

"This forms the third volume of the Studies in Anatomy issued by the Council, and contains contributions of considerable interest. The volume is well printed and bound. It speaks well for the activity of investigation at Manchester."—Lancet.

"The volume is well got up and is evidence of the continuation of the excellent work which has been carried on for so long a period, under Professor A. H. Young's supervision, and has been encouraged and stimulated by his own work."—British Medical Journal.

"Throughout the papers, careful research and accurate observation are manifested, and they will repay careful perusal. To the Anatomist, as well as the practical physician or surgeon, they will prove valuable."—Edinburgh Medical Journal.

CELTIC SERIES.

No. I. AN INTRODUCTION TO EARLY WELSH. By the late Prof. J. Strachan, LL.D. Demy 8vo, pp. xvi, 294. 7s. 6d. net.(Publication No. 40, 1908.)

"The Grammar as a whole is of course a very great advance on the pioneer work of Zeuss; Dr. Strachan had fuller and more accurate texts to work with, and possessed a knowledge probably unsurpassed of the results of recent progress in Celtic philology, which he himself did so much to promote."—Professor Morris Jones in the Manchester Guardian.

"To Welshmen anxious to study their native tongue in a thorough and scientific manner Dr. Strachan has here furnished an invaluable manual."—Aberdeen Free Press.

"An Irishman cannot but envy the University of Manchester; long since there should have been a University for Celtic Ireland, rearing scholars to work at these things that largely belong to Ireland—to her interest and to her honour—and to produce works as solid in scholarship and as nobly turned out in material form."—The Freeman's Journal.

"The work is an excellent introduction to the study of early Welsh. We can strongly recommend it to Welsh students; it is undoubtedly a work which no student of Celtic literature can afford to be without."—North Wales Guardian.

"The work is destined, of course, to become the text-book in early Welsh wherever taught."—Western Mail.

CLASSICAL SERIES.

No. I. A STUDY OF THE BACCHAE OF EURIPIDES. By G. Norwood, M.A., Assistant Lecturer in Classics. Demy 8vo, pp. xx, 188. 5s. net.(Publication No. 31, 1908.)

"The interest of Mr. Norwood's book, which ... is a very welcome addition to the bibliography of Euripides, and a scholarly and interesting piece of work, displaying erudition and insight beyond the ordinary, lies in the way in which, by applying Dr. Verrall's methods ... he first shows up difficulties and inconsistencies, some of which have hardly been noticed before ... and then produces his own startling theory, which he claims is the great solvent of all the perplexities."—Saturday Review.

"Unless very strong evidence can be produced against Mr. Norwood's view, it must be accepted as the true solution of the problem.... Mr. Norwood is generally clear, and abounds in illuminating thoughts. He has added a full bibliography (running to twenty-three pages) of writings on Euripides, and for this every scholar will offer his sincere thanks.... He has done a very good piece of work."—AthenÆum.

"This volume forms the first of a Classical Series projected by the Manchester University, who are to be congratulated on having begun with a book so original and full of interest.... It is admirably argued, and is instinct with a sympathetic imagination. It is, at the very least, an extremely able attempt to solve a very complex problem."—Manchester Guardian.

"Mr. Norwood demonstrates on every page his scholarship and knowledge, and gives proof of much painstaking research. The treatise is as valuable as it is interesting."—Manchester City News.

"It is a most ingenious theory, and a reviewer whom it has left unconvinced is all the more bound to give his testimony to the consistent skill, learning, and independence of judgment with which it is presented. The book ... strikes us as the product of vigorous and independent thought."—Times.

"Mr. Norwood's learned and ingenious argument."—Westminster Gazette.

"Mr. Norwood's proposed solution, though novel, is extremely plausible."—Sheffield Daily Telegraph.

"Lovers of Euripides may not be convinced by his subtle argument, but they will certainly find his book suggestive and stimulating."—Daily News.

"Mr. Norwood's book has even in the eyes of a sceptic the considerable merit of stating the hypothesis in a very thoroughgoing and able manner, and at least giving it its full chance of being believed."—Professor Gilbert Murray in the Nation.

"L'interprÉtation de M. Norwood est certainement trÈs ingÉnieuse; elle est mÊme trÈs sÉduisante."—Revue Critique.

No. I. THE LANCASHIRE COTTON INDUSTRY. By S. J. Chapman, M.A., M. Com., Stanley Jevons Professor of Political Economy and Dean of the Faculty of Commerce. Demy 8vo, pp. vii, 30. 7s. 6d. net.(Publication No. 4, 1904.)

"Such a book as this ought to be, and will be, read far beyond the bounds of the trade."—Manchester Guardian.

"There have been books dealing with various phases of the subject, but no other has so ably treated it from the economic as well as from the historical point of view."—Manchester Courier.

"The story of the evolution of the industry from small and insignificant beginnings up to its present imposing proportions and highly developed and specialised forms, is told in a way to rivet the attention of the reader ... the book is a valuable and instructive treatise on a fascinating yet important subject."—Cotton Factory Times.

"Highly valuable to all close students."—Scotsman.

(Gartside Report, No. 1.)

No. II. COTTON SPINNING AND MANUFACTURING IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. By T. W. Uttley, B.A., Gartside Scholar. Demy 8vo, pp. xii. 70. 1s. net.(Publication No. 8, 1905.)

"The writer gives ample details concerning wages and other features connected with typical mills ... and the information thus gathered is of interest and value to the factory operative as well as the student and economist."—Cotton Factory Times.

"Mr. Uttley describes how he visited the mills in various States in a very systematic and detailed manner. Altogether the report makes an admirable and welcome collection of information, and will be found on many occasions worthy of reference."—Textile Mercury.

"The American methods of iron and steel production are described, from the practical as well as the statistical side."—Manchester Courier.

"Mr. Popplewell writes clearly and well, and he is to be congratulated upon having carried his task through in so entirely a satisfactory manner."—Manchester City News.

"America's progress in iron and steel is more wonderful than any bald statistics of production with which we are so familiar can indicate. How that progress has been effected—effected under labour, transport and other difficulties—Mr. Popplewell tells us in an interesting and keenly intelligent review."—Manchester Guardian.

"A minute observation of detail ... characterises the whole work."—Iron and Coal Trades Review.

"Mr. Popplewell gives a clear exposition of the results of specialisation in production, of the development of ore-handling machinery, and of the general use of the charging machine, features that characterise American practice. He shows, too, that the colossal blast-furnace with huge yield due to high-blast pressure, regardless of consumption of steam and boiler coal, is giving place to a blast furnace of more modest dimensions....

"The impression derived from reading Mr. Popplewell's report is that many of the most striking developments, admirable as they are, were designed to meet special wants, and are not necessarily applicable in Great Britain."—Nature.

"The book has its interest for the educationist as well as for the manufacturer."—Scotsman.

"A chapter of special interest to British consumers is one devoted to the consideration of raw materials."—Glasgow Herald.

(Gartside Report, No. 3.)

"The book altogether is very readable, and one we can heartily recommend to all interested in the economics of engineering."—The Practical Engineer.

"Mr. Foster's observation of facts is fresh and interesting ... the technical side of his report exhibits much care."—Manchester Guardian.

"Mr. Chorlton has made a contribution to this interesting controversy which is worthy of the serious attention of all persons interested in the subject."—Local Government Chronicle.

"The arguments for and against this proposed reform in the taxation of land have never been more fairly and freely stated."—Liverpool Daily Post and Mercury.

"This thoughtful and judicially expressed treatise."—Manchester City News.

"A very businesslike and serviceable collection of essays and notes on this intricate question."—Manchester Guardian.

(Gartside Report, No. 4.)

No. VI. DYEING IN GERMANY AND AMERICA. By Sydney H. Higgins, M.Sc., Gartside Scholar. Demy 8vo, pp. xiii. 112. 1s. net.(Publication No. 24, 1907.)

"All those who are interested in this question, no matter what their economic predilections, may ponder with advantage Professor Dewsnup's pages."—Newcastle Daily Chronicle.

"The study brings together so weighty an array of facts and arguments that it cannot but prove instructive and suggestive to all classes of economists interested in its subject."—Scotsman.

"Professor Dewsnup's view of the whole problem was stated in 1903, in a form which won the Warburton Essay Prize at the Manchester University. Now revised and brought up to date, his valuable work has taken permanent form."—Westminster Gazette.

"Professor Dewsnup's book on the housing problem consists of three distinct parts, each of which is a valuable contribution to economic science. In Part I, Professor Dewsnup tries to give a clear and definite account of the evil with which authorities in England are called upon to cope. Avoiding all special pleading and all evidence of the sensational kind which is apt to give a false idea of the extent and intensity of the evil of overcrowding, he does not on the other hand fall into the error of minimizing the evil.

"In Part II, Professor Dewsnup gives a most excellent and well-digested summary of the legislation which has been passed by Parliament since 1851 to cope with the evils of overcrowded houses, and of overcrowded areas.

"In Part III, the strictly informational and statistical work of the previous parts is utilized by the author to support his own conclusions as to the best methods of dealing with the problem of overcrowding.

"Whether or not the reader agrees with Professor Dewsnup in the conclusions he draws from his data, every student of economics must be grateful to him for the accuracy and care which have gone into the collection and arrangement of his material."—The American Political Science Review, vol. iii, No. 1, February, 1909.

"The book is calculated to give a clear and accurate description, essentially intended for the general reader," and the author has quite rightly eliminated everything of a technical character, giving his theme both the simplicity and the interest that are required.... The work might well have been doubled in length without any loss of interest.... Invaluable as a text-book."—The Economic Journal.

"Should on no account be missed, for it is a very good attempt at a survey of the enormous field of American business in the true and judicial spirit."—Pall Mall Gazette.

"Readable, informing, suggestive—full of interest for men engaged in almost every department of commercial life."—Manchester City News.

"We congratulate the author upon a very readable and painstaking production."—Nature.

"... The reviewer says unhesitatingly that this Gartside Report ... is the best all-round book on industrial electro-chemistry that has so far come to his notice."—Electro-chemical and Metallurgical Industry, May, 1909.

(Gartside Report, No. 8.)

"Well informed, well systematised, and written with businesslike precision, it deserves the attention of everyone interested in its subject."—Scotsman.

"... gives a record of what the principal nations are doing in the prolongation of school work. It is invaluable as a corpus of material from which to estimate the present position of the world—so far as its analogies touch Britain—in 'further education,' as the phrase is."—The Outlook.

"The most comprehensive book on continuation schools that has yet been issued in this country."—Scottish Review.

"Professor Sadler has produced an admirable survey of the past history and present condition of the problem of further education of the people ... but apart from his own contributions, the bulk of the work, and its most valuable portion, consists of material furnished by teachers and by organisers of schools in various parts of England and Scotland, by officials of the Board of Education and the Board of Trade, and by local education authorities."—Manchester Guardian.

"This is a book which counts. It is a worthy treatment of an all-important subject, and he who wishes his country well must pray that it may be read widely.... I should be glad to think that I have said enough to send many readers post-haste to buy this invaluable treatise."—L. J. Chiozza Money, M.P., in the Daily News.

"This book will for many years remain the standard authority upon its subject."—The Guardian.

"It is indeed a remarkable compilation, and we hope that its circulation and its usefulness may be commensurable with its conspicuous merits."—The Schoolmaster.

"The whole question is discussed with an elaboration, an insistence on detail, and a wisdom that mark this volume as the most important contribution to educational effort that has yet been made."—Contemporary Review.

"The subject of the work is one that goes to the very heart of national education, and the treatise itself lays bare with a scientific but humane hand the evils that beset our educational system, the waste of life and national energy which that system has been unable in any sufficient degree to check."—The Spectator.

"It is a treasure of facts and judicious opinions in the domain of the history and administration of education."—The AthenÆum.

"This volume marks a new departure in English Educational literature.... Some very interesting work is being done and the most valuable part of the book is the account of the detailed methods which have been employed both in the regular teaching in the schools and in the efforts to foster the corporate interests of the children and their parents. These methods are often exceedingly suggestive, and may be studied with advantage by these who do not accept all the theories upon which they are based."—School.

"Professor Findlay and his skilled and experienced collaborators give an interesting account of the uses of the demonstration classes, the nature and scope of the work done in them, and the methods adopted (as well as the underlying principles) in some of the courses of instruction."—The AthenÆum.

"The book gives an instructive account of the attempts made to correlate the subjects of school instruction, not only with each other, but also with the children's pursuits out of school hours.... The problem Professor Findlay has set himself to work out in the Demonstration School is, How far is it possible by working with the children through successive culture epochs of the human race to form within their minds not only a truer conception of human history, but also eventually a deeper comprehension of the underlying purpose and oneness of all human activities?"—Morning Post.

Pp. xii. 221. 5s. net.(Publication No. 49, 1909.)

"... scholarly and illuminating book. It opens a new series in the Manchester University publications, and opens it with distinction. A more elaborately documented or more carefully indexed work need not be desired. The subject is an engrossing one; and, although the author has aimed rather at accuracy and completeness than at the arts of entertainment, the result remains eminently readable."—Manchester Guardian.

"A really valuable addition to the literature dealing with the period."—Daily Telegraph.

"Quite interesting to the general literary reader as well as to the special student for whom, perhaps, it is directly meant. We are always ready to read of the Elizabethan age in authorship, and it loses none of its attractions in Miss Sheavyn's hands."—Daily Chronicle.

"A notable and interesting volume.... The material has been carefully gathered from a close scrutiny of contemporary literature and literary gossip, and has been admirably handled throughout. There is not a dull chapter in the book."—The Scotsman.

"Patient and enlightened scholarship and a sense of style and proportion have enabled the writer to produce a work at once solid and readable."—English Historical Review.

"A welcome addition to the literature of English local history, not merely because it adds much to our knowledge of Manchester and Lancashire, but also because it displays a scientific method of treatment which is rare in this field of study in England."—Dr. Gross in American Historical Review.

"La collection ne pouvait dÉbuter plus significativement et plus heureusement que par un ouvrage d'histoire du Moyen Age dÛ À M. Tait, car l'enseignement mediÉviste est un de ceux qui font le plus d'honneur À la jeune UniversitÉ de Manchester, et c'est À M. le Professeur Tait qu'il faut attribuer une bonne part de ce succÈs."—Revue de SynthÈse historique.

"Whoever has attempted to ascertain the contents of a MediÆval miscellany in manuscript must often have been annoyed by the occurrence of a blank space where the title of the treatise ought to be.

"Anyone who desires a general account of the Empire under Augustus which is freshly and clearly written and based on wide reading will find it here."—Manchester Guardian.

The Memoir may be had separately, price 2s. 6d. net.

No. V. CANON PIETRO CASOLA'S PILGRIMAGE TO JERUSALEM IN THE YEAR 1494. By M. M. Newett, B.A., formerly Jones Fellow. Demy 8vo, pp. 427. 7s. 6d. net.(Publication No. 26, 1907.)

"Tra mezzo ai tanti libri esteri di semplici divulgazione su fatti e figure della storia italiana, questo emerge piacevalmente e si legge volontieri. E diverso di carattere e di trattazione. Esume ... dalla polvere degli archivi e delle biblioteche qualche cosa che ha un valore fresco ed interessante, un valore storico e un valore umano."—A.A.B. in the Archivio Storico Italiano.

"L'introduction se termine par toute une dissertation du plus grand intÉrÊt, documentÉe À l'aide des archives vÉnitiennes, sur le caractÈre commercial des pÈlerinages, dont les armateurs de Venise assumÈrent, jusqu'au XVIIe siÈcle l'entreprise."—J.B. in the Revue de SynthÈse historique.

"The work which Miss Margaret Newett has probably saved from oblivion is as intrinsically interesting as it should prove instructive to the student of history."—Daily News.

"This is altogether an exceedingly well-edited book and a distinct credit to the History School of Manchester University."—Glasgow Herald.

"This is a deeply interesting record, not merely of a Syrian pilgrimage, but of Mediterranean life and of the experiences of an intelligent Italian gentleman at the close of the Middle Ages—two years after the discovery of America. It would not be easy to find a more graphic picture, in old days, of a voyage from Venice to the Levant."—American Historical Review.

"With its careful and convincing descriptions of persons and places, of costume and manners, with its ingenuous narrative and its simple reflections, this is a document of great interest."—The Bookman.

"Imperial history, local history, ecclesiastical history, economic history and the methods of historical teaching—all these are in one way or another touched upon by scholars who have collaborated in this volume. Men and women alike have devoted their time and pains to working out problems of importance and often of no slight difficulty. The result is one of which the university and city may be justly proud."—The late Professor York Powell in the Manchester Guardian.

"Esso contiene venti lavori storici dettati, quattro da professori e sedici da licenziati del Collegio, e sono tutto scritti appositamente e condotti secondo le piÙ rigorose norme della critica e su documenti."—R. Predelli in Nuovo Archivio Veneto.

"La variÉtÉ des sujets et l'Érudition avec laquelle ils sont traitÉs font grand honneur À la maniÈre dont l'histoire est enseignÉ À Owens College."—Revue Historique.

"No one who reads these essays will do so without acknowledging their ability, both in originality and research. They deal with historic subjects from the beginnings of CÆsar-worship to the detention of Napoleon at St. Helena, and they deal with them in a thoroughgoing fashion."—Guardian.

"Par nature, c'est un recueil savant, qui tÉmoigne du respect et de l'Émulation que sait exercer pour les Études historiques la jeune et dÉjÀ cÉlÈbre universitÉ."—Revue d'histoire ecclÉsiastique (Louvain).

"All these essays reach a high level; they avoid the besetting sin of most of our present historical writing, which consists of serving up a hash of what other historians have written flavoured with an original spice of error.... They are all based on original research and written by specialists."—Professor A. F. Pollard in the English Historical Review.

"Sie bilden einen schÖnen Beweis fur die rationelle Art, mit der dort dieses Studium betrieben wird."—Professor O. Weber in Historische Zeitschrift.

No. VII. STUDIES SUPPLEMENTARY TO STUBBS' CONSTITUTIONAL HISTORY. Vol. i. By Ch. Petit-Dutaillis, Litt. D., rector of the University of Grenoble. Translated from the French by W. E. Rhodes, M.A., and edited by Prof. James Tait, M.A. Pp. xiv. 152. 4s. net.(Publication No. 38 1908.)

This work consists of the translation of the studies and notes appended by Prof. Petit-Dutaillis to his translation into French of the first volume of Stubbs' Constitutional History of England. It is believed that they will present to English students and teachers a summary of the results of recent historical research so far as they throw light upon or modify the conclusions expressed thirty years ago by the late Bishop Stubbs.

"Nowhere else can the student find brought together the modern criticisms of Stubbs, and it is a great convenience to possess them in this slight volume."—Morning Post.

"In its French dress Professor Petit-Dutaillis' book has already received a warm welcome, and this excellent translation will furnish English teachers and students with just the kind of guidance they require in making use of a standard text-book which is still absolutely indispensable, and yet needs to be corrected at some important points."—Glasgow Herald.

"The volume will be virtually indispensable to teachers and students of history."—AthenÆum.

"This task has been carefully and well performed, under the supervision of Professor Tait, who has written a short but adequate introduction. This little book, ought, without delay, to be added to every public or private library that contains a copy of the classic work to which it forms an indispensable supplement."—Dr. W. S. McKechnie in the Scottish Historical Review.

"These supplementary studies impress one as a discreet and learned attempt to safeguard a public, which is likely to learn all that it will know of a great subject from a single book, against the shortcomings of that book."—Professor A. B. White in the American Historical Review.

"C'est un complÉment indispensable de l'ouvrage de Stubbs, et l'on saura grÉ À l'UniversitÉ de Manchester d'avoir pris l'initiative de cette publication."—M. Charles BÉmont in Revue Historique.

"Ce sont des modÈles de critique ingÉnieuse et sobre, une mise au point remarquable des questions les plus importantes traitÉes jadis par Stubbs."—M. Louis Halphen in Revue de SynthÈse historique.

"Zu der englischen Übersetzung dieser Excurse, durch einen verdienten jÜngeren Historiker, die durchaus leicht wie Originalstil fliesst, hat Tait die Vorrede geliefert und manche Note, die noch die Literatur von 1908 berÜcksichtigt. Die historische Schule der UniversitÄt Manchester, an RÜhrigkeit und strenger Methode von keiner in England Übertroffen, bietet mit der VerÖffentlichung der werthvollen Arbeit des Franzosen ein treffliches Lehrmittel.—Professor F. Liebermann, in Deutsche Literatur Zeitung.

Jones is to be congratulated on the success with which he has conducted what may be described as a pioneering expedition into a practically unexplored field of history ... the publishers are to be congratulated on the admirable way in which the book has been turned out—a joy to handle and to read."—Manchester Guardian.

"This interesting volume is an endeavour to show that the decline of the Greeks as a people for several centuries before and after the Christian era was largely due to the prevalence of malaria in its various forms."—Glasgow Herald.

"[The author] ... has amassed a considerable store of valuable information from the Greek classics and other sources which will prove extremely useful to all who are interested in his theory."—Birmingham Daily Post.

"The whole volume forms a very important and valuable contribution to the cause of Theological learning."—Record.

"This is a most interesting and valuable book, the appearance of which at the present moment is singularly significant....

"The writers of these lectures do not attempt to offer more than samples of their wares: but what is given is good, and it may be seen that theology without tests is destitute neither of scientific value nor of human interests."—AthenÆum.
