Lectures on the History of Physiology during the
Sixteenth, Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries. By Sir M. Foster,
K.C.B., M.P., M.D., D.C.L., F.R.S., Fellow of Trinity College.
Demy 8vo. With a Frontispiece. 9s.

Nature. There is no more fascinating chapter in the history of science than that which deals with physiology, but a concise and at the same time compendious account of the early history of the subject has never before been presented to the English reader. Physiologists therefore owe a debt of gratitude to Sir Michael Foster for supplying a want which was widely felt.... No higher praise can be given to the book than to say that it is worthy of the reputation of its author.... It is by no means an easy task to do adequate justice to the mine of literary and historic research which the author has laid open to view.

Guardian. We must urge not merely students of physiology, but all those interested in the history of modern thought, to buy and read the book.... The present volume has a charm and fascination which is too often wanting in historical studies. His portraits live, and live in a live world; they are not mere dead pictures set in a stereotyped, historical framework.

Spectator. We can recommend this admirable and suggestive book with confidence to all, laymen or doctors, who wish to trace the gradual growth of man's knowledge of the physical basis of his life.

The Soluble Ferments and Fermentation. By J.
Reynolds Green, Sc.D., F.R.S., Professor of Botany to the
Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain. Second Edition. Demy
8vo. 12s.

Nature. It is not necessary to recommend the perusal of the book to all interested in the subject since it is indispensable to them, and we will merely conclude by congratulating the Cambridge University Press on having added to their admirable series of Natural Science Manuals an eminently successful work on so important and difficult a theme, and the author on having written a treatise cleverly conceived, industriously and ably worked out, and on the whole, well written.

Revue Scientifique. Nous ne pouvons entrer dans le dÉtail; mais il est Évident que M. Seward, praticien distinguÉ lui-mÊme, est trÈs au courant des travaux des autres, il les cite et utilise abondamment; et ceci est fait pour inspirer confiance. Au total, son oeuvre est appuyÉe sur des bases solides, et elle restera sans doute longtemps le brÉviaire, le manuel de ceux qui veulent, non pas seulement s'initier À la palÉobotanique, mais retrouver les renseignements qui sont Épars dans des centaines de monographies qu'on a souvent peine À se procurer. Le livre de M. Seward fait partie des Cambridge Natural Science Manuals, et il est digne de cette collection, qui est elle-mÊme digne du foyer scientifique universellement rÉputÉ, oÙ il a vu le jour.

Guardian. We have already alluded to the spirit of caution which characterises the book, and we may add that it promises to be most helpful to the botanist who would extend his researches into the past.

Natural Science. A most successful treatment of a difficult subject. All of importance is brought forward and impartially discussed.... Such a book has long been a desideratum. Mr Seward's style is clear and concise, and the many pitfalls into which beginners are apt to stumble are clearly pointed out.

Pall Mall Gazette. Precisely the sort of book which, if it came into a thoughtful boy's hands, would turn him from a smatterer into a student.... One of the most instructive and attractive books that could be put into the hands of a young naturalist.
