Handbook of Physiology. By W. D. Halliburton, M.D., 



F.R.S. 14th edit. 8vo, pp. xviii. — 851. (London : J. Murray. 1896.) 14/- 

 This (fourteenth) edition is practically a new work, for the subject matter 

 has been re-arranged and almost entirely re-written. It is a work intended for 

 the use of medical students, and one of its special features is that it treats of 

 Histology as well as Physiology proper. 



The book contains 57 chapters of closely printed matter, every subject 

 being handled in a thorough and masterly manner. There are upwards of 660 

 illustrations in the text, several of them coloured, besides some plain and 

 coloured plates. 



Elements of Psychology. By George Croom Robertson. 



Edited from Notes of Lectures delivered at the College 1870 — 1892, by C. A. 

 Foley Rhys Davids, M.A. Crown 8vo, pp. xvi. — 268. (London : J. Murray, 

 1896.) Price 3/6. 



This work consists of a series of 36 Lectures, most of which were delivered 

 orally by the late Grote Professor Robertson at University College, London. 

 The editor says, in her introduction : — -"I have tried to make students of a 

 succeeding generation acquainted with the methods of a great methodologist, 

 and with the philosophic standpoints of a teacher who for many years worthily 

 represented and further developed the best traditions of a great school." 



Economic Science and Practice; or, Essays on Various 

 Aspects of the Relations of Economic Science to Practical Affairs. By L. L. 

 Price. Cr. 8vo, pp. viii. — 325. (London: Methuen and Co. 1896.) 6/- 



This book consists of thirteen papers, which have been written at various 

 times and for different occasions ; they deal generally with the relations of 

 economic theory to proposals of practical economic reform. In the first, 

 entitled " Some Typical Fallacies of Social Reformers," an attempt is made to 

 set forth the moral, if it may be so called, of the present position. In the six 

 following essays different aspects of various methods of industrial reform, which 

 have lately engaged a large measure of popular attention, are brought under 

 review. 



The Tutorial Chemistry. Part L, Non-Metals. By G. H. 

 Bailey, D.Sc.Lond., Ph. D.Heidelberg. Edited by William Briggs, M.A., 

 F.C.S., F.R.A.S. Cr. 8vo, pp. viii. -226. (London: W. B. Clive.) 3/6. 



Here we have a systematic outline of Chemistry so far as it relates to the 

 non-metals. Details of experimental methods are given, which, under the 

 guidance of the teacher, will be found sufficient to admit of the book being 

 used as a companion in the laboratory. Each chapter is followed by questions, 

 the more difficult of which are answered at the end of the book. There are a 

 number of illustrations. 



A New Course of Experimental Chemistry, including the 



Principles of Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis, being a Systematic Series 

 of Experiments and Problems for the Laboratory and Class-room. By John 

 Castell-Evans, F. I.C. , etc. Cr. 8vo, pp. xii. — 244. (London: Thomas 

 Murby.) Price 2/6. 



In the present revised edition of this work, the author's aim is to help 

 students to attain a real knowledge of scientific chemistry, and not to prepare 

 for mere examination, for, as he justly says in his preface, " Examinations are 

 only accidents of a scientific career, and accidents that are rarely beneficial ; 

 but knowledge is essential." 



We feel that we can confidently recommend the book.
