The Quarterly Journal of Science.

“A work by a master in the science who understands the significance of every phenomenon which he records, and knows how to make it reveal its lessons. As regards its value there can scarcely exist two opinions. As a text-book of the historical phase of palÆontology it will be indispensable to students, whether specially pursuing geology or biology; and without it no man who aspires even to an outline knowledge of natural science can deem his library complete.”

AthenÆeum.

“The Professor of Natural History in the University of St. Andrews has, by his previous works on zoÖlogy and palÆontology, so fully established his claim to be an exact thinker and a close reasoner, that scarcely any recommendation of ours can add to the interest with which all students in natural history will receive the present volume. It is, as its second title expresses it, a comprehensive outline of the principles and leading facts of palÆontological science. Numerous woodcut illustrations very delicately executed, a copious glossary, and an admirable index, add much to the value of this volume.”

WORKS OF HENRY THOMAS BUCKLE.

I.

The Life and Writings of Henry Thomas Buckle.

By Alfred Henry Huth. 12mo. Cloth.

“The book deals with Mr. Buckle less as a philosopher than as a man.... Mr. Huth has done his part well and thoroughly.”—Saturday Review.

“Mr. Huth has produced a striking and distinct portrait out of his materials, and he has done his work with a simplicity and modesty which are highly effective.”—Pall Mall Gazette.

“This work, we think, will revolutionize popular opinion about the philosopher.”—London Daily News.

“Buckle was a man whose story must excite interest and rouse sympathy.”—Scotsman.

II.

History of Civilization in England.

2 vols., 8vo. Cloth, $4.00; half calf, extra, $8.00.

“Whoever misses reading this book will miss reading what is, in various respects, to the best of our judgment and experience, the most remarkable book of the day—one, indeed, that no thoughtful, inquiring mind would miss reading for a good deal. Let the reader be as adverse as he may be to the writer’s philosophy, let him be as devoted to the obstructive as Mr. Buckle is to the progress party, let him be as orthodox in church creed as the other is heterodox, as dogmatic as the author is skeptical—let him, in short, find his prejudices shocked at every turn of the argument, and all his prepossessions whistled down the wind—still, there is so much in this extraordinary volume to stimulate reflection and excite to inquiry, and provoke to earnest investigation, perhaps (to this or that reader) on a track hitherto untrodden, and across the virgin soil of untilled fields, fresh woods and pastures new, that we may fairly defy the most hostile spirit, the most mistrustful and least sympathetic, to read it through without being glad of having done so, or, having begun it, or even glanced at almost any one of its pages, to pass away unread.”—London Times.

“We have read Mr. Buckle’s volumes with the deepest interest. We owe him a profound debt of gratitude. His influence on the thought of the present age can not but be enormous, and if he gives us no more than we already have in the two volumes of the magnus opus, he will still be classed among the fathers and founders of the Science of History.”—New York Times.

“Singularly acute, possessed of rare analytical power, imaginative but not fanciful, unwearied in research, and gifted with wonderful talent in arranging and molding his material, the author is as fascinating as he is learned. His erudition is immense—so immense as not to be cumbersome. It is the result of a long and steady growth—a part of himself.”—Boston Journal.

IV.

Descriptive Sociology; Or, GROUPS OF SOCIOLOGICAL FACTS. Six Parts, in royal folio. Price, $4.00 each.

“Of all our thinkers he is the one who, as it appears to me, has formed for himself the largest new scheme of a systematic philosophy, and, in relation to some of the greatest questions of philosophy in their most recent forms, as set or reset by the last speculations and revelations of science, has already shot his thoughts the farthest.”—Prof. David Masson, in “Recent British Philosophy.”

“His bold generalizations are always instructive, and some of them may in the end be established as the profoundest laws of the knowable universe.”—Dr. James McCosh, in the “Intuitions of Mind.”

“One who, whether for the extent of his positive knowledge, or for the profundity of his speculative insight, has already achieved a name second to none in the whole range of English philosophy.”—Westminster Review.

“The work (‘Descriptive Sociology’) is a gigantic one; its value, when complete, will be immeasurable; and its actual influence on the study of sociology, and help to that study, greater perhaps than any book yet published. It is a cyclopÆdia of Social Science, but a cyclopÆdia edited by the greatest of sociologists.”—G. W. Smalley.

IMPORTANT WORKS.

I.

The Life and Words of Christ. By Cunningham Geikie, D.D. New cheap edition. From the same stereotype plates as the two-volume illustrated edition. 8vo. Cloth. Price, $1.50.

This edition of Geikie’s Life of Christ is the only cheap edition that contains the copious notes of the author, the marginal references, and an index.

“A work of the highest rank, breathing the spirit of true faith in Christ.”—Dr. Delitzsch, the Commentator.

“A most valuable addition to sacred literature.”—A. N. Littlejohn, D.D., Bishop of Long Island.

II.

Mind in the Lower Animals, in Health and Disease. By W. Lauder Lindsay, M.D., F.R.S.E., etc. In two volumes, 8vo, cloth. Price, $4.00.

“I have studied the subject of mind in other animals, as compared with that of man, for a series of years, simply as a physician-naturalist.... Regarding the whole subject of mind in animals from a medical and natural-history point of view, I have studied it from first to last without any preconceived ideas, with no theory to defend, support, or illustrate.... All that I attempt is to outline the subject of mind in the lower animals, to illustrate their possession of the higher mental faculties as they occur in man.”—Extract from Introduction.

III.

Memoirs of Madame de Remusat. Complete in one vol., with an Index, 12mo, 740 pages, cloth, price, $2.00. In three vols., octavo, paper covers, price, $1.50; or, 50 cents each.

“‘Madame de RÉmusat’s Memoirs’ will remain as the most finished picture of the Napoleonic Court in its outward glory and its inner pettiness.”—London AthenÆum.

IV.

Memoirs of Napoleon, his Court and Family. By the Duchess d’Abrantes (Madame Junot). New edition. In two vols., 12mo. Cloth. Price, $3.00.

The interest in the first Napoleon and his Court, which has recently been so stimulated by the “Memoirs of Madame de RÉmusat,” has induced the publishers to reissue the famous “Memoirs of the Duchess d’Abrantes.” These memoirs, which hitherto have appeared in costly 8vo volumes, are now published at a much lower price, to correspond with the De RÉmusat 12mo volume. The work at the present juncture will be read with attention, especially as it presents a much more favorable portrait of the great Corsican than that limned by Madame de RÉmusat.

V.

The Life of David Glasgow Farragut, First Admiral of the United States Navy, embodying his Journal and Letters. By his Son, Loyall Farragut. With Portraits, Maps, and Illustrations. 8vo. Cloth. Price, $4.00.

“The book is a stirring one, of course; the story of Farragut’s life is a tale of adventure of the most ravishing sort, so that, aside from the value of this work as an authentic biography of the greatest of American naval commanders, the book is one of surpassing interest, considered merely as a narrative of difficult and dangerous enterprises and heroic achievements.”—New York Evening Post.
