PRINCIPLES OF ZOOLOGY; Touching the Structure, Develop- 

 ment, Distribution, and Natural Arrangement of the RACES OF ANIMALS, 

 living and extinct, with numerous illustrations. For the use of Schools 

 and Colleges. Part I., COMPARATIVE PHYSIOLOGY. By Louis AGASSIZ 

 and AUGUSTUS A. GOULD. 



Extracts from the Preface. 



" The design of this work is to furnish an epitome of the leading principles of the science 

 of Zoology, as deduced from the present state of knowledge, so illustrated as to be intelligible 

 to the beginning student. No similar treatise now exists in this country, and indeed, some 

 of the topics have not been touched upon in the language, unless in a strictly technical 

 form, and in scattered articles." 



_ " Being designed for American students, the illustrations have been drawn, as far as pos- 

 sible, from American objects. * * * Popular names have been employed as far as possible, 

 and to the scientific names an English termination has generally been given. The first part 

 is devoted to Comparative Physiology, as the basis of Classification; the second, to System- 

 atic Zoology, in which the principles of Classification will be applied, and the principal 

 groups of animals briefly characterized." 



MODERN FRENCH LITERATURE; By L. RAYMOND DE VERI- 

 COUR, formerly lecturer in the Royal Athencenm of Paris, member of the 

 Institute of France, &c. American edition, brought bown to the present 

 day, and revised with notes by WILLIAM S. CHASE. With a fine portrait 

 of LAMARTINE. 



V This Treatise has received the highest praise as a comprehensive and thorough survey 

 of the various departments of Modern French Literature. It contains biographical and 

 critical notes of all the prominent names in Philosophy, Criticism, History, Romance, 

 Poetry, and the Drama; and presents a full and impartial consideration of the Political 

 Tendencies of France, as they may be traced in the writings of authors equally conspicu- 

 ous as Scholars and as Statesmen. Mr. Chase, who has been the Parisian correspondent of 

 several leading periodicals of this country, is well qualified, from a prolonged residence in 

 France, his familiarity with its Literature, and by a personal acquaintance with mauy of 

 these authors, to introduce the work of De Vericour to the American public. 



_ " This is the only complete treatise of the kind on this subject, either in French or Eng- 

 lish, and has received the highest commendation. Mr. Chase is well qualified to introduce 

 the work to the public. The book cannot fail to be both useful and popular." Xeiu York 

 Evening Post. 



"Literature and Politics are more closely allied than many are aware of. It is particu- 

 larly so in France ; and the work announced by this learned French writer will, doubtless, 

 be eagerly sought after." The Symbol, Boston. 



" Mr. Chase is entirely competent for the task he has undertaken in the present instance. 

 His introduction and notes have doubtless added much to the value of the work, especially 

 to the American reader." Eveninrj Gazette, Boston.
