Mendel's Principles of Heredity 



By W. Bateson, M.A., F.R.S., V.M.H. With 3 portraits, 6 coloured plates 

 and 33 figures. 



" The present work is the most coraplete treatise on the Mendelian aspect 



of Heredity which has yet appeared in English It is a privilege to have read 



Mr Bateson's work, and to have assimilated the exposition of the principles 

 which he so ably advocates, illustrated with concise tables, as well as figures and 

 colomed plates, which enhance its value as a solid contribution to English 

 Science." — Journal of Botany 



"Mr Bateson's long-expected volume on Mendelism undoubtedly marks a 



Roval 8vo "^^ stage, probably a new era, in the investigation of the origin of species 



12s net ^^ '^' °^ course, impossible in so short a notice to do more than draw attention 

 to a volume that works out in close detail applications to natural phenomena 

 of Mendel's wonderful discovery. We can, therefore, merely commend in 

 general terms a work of the first order in the thought of our generation." — 

 Contemporary Review 



" Professor Bateson's admirable book puts out in the clearest possible 



manner the whole story of Mendelism up to the present hour We have 



read this book with the greatest possible interest and recommend it to all our 

 readers." — Lancet 



Tlie Methods and Scope of Genetics 



By W. Bateson, M.A., F.R.S., V.M.H. 



"Professor Bateson is undoubtedly one of the most distinguished of living 

 Biologists, so that in any ease the inaugural lecture delivered by him would 

 have been read with interest by all those students of biology who had not the 



opportunity of being present on that occasion Professor Bateson tells how 



Crown 8vo Mendel's law works out with the colours of certain flowers, moths, and canaries, 

 Is 6d net and with colour-bhndness in men and women. More than this, he describes 

 the outlook over this field of research in a manner that will greatly interest and 

 attract all intelligent people, for, as he rightly says, ' Mendel's clue has shown 

 the way into a realm of nature which for surprising novelty and adventure is 

 hardly to be excelled'." — Morning Post 



Darwin and Modern Science 



Essays in Commemoration of the centenary of the birth of Charles Darwin 

 and of the fiftieth anniversary of the publication of The Origin of Species. 

 Edited by A. C. Seward, Professor of Botany in the University of Cambridge. 

 With 2 portraits and 3 plates. 



" This volume is a worthy tribute to the labours of a great man. It is no 



ordinary panegyric, but an examination of the principles of Darwinism in the 



light of our present knowledge. In a , series of twenty-nine essays, written for 



the most part by leaders of scientific thought of our day, it shows how the 



Royal 8vo seed that Darwin sowed has stood the test of fifty years of criticism, and has 



IBs net fructified, prospered, and extended into all departments of biology and beyond. 



The Syndics of the University Press, and particularly the editor. Prof. 



Seward, desei-ve every congratulation on the production of a book which 

 marks an era in the progress of science. In printing and binding the volume 

 is in all respects worthy of the occasion." — Athenaum 



Tlie Foundations of 'The Origin of Species' 



Two Essays written in 1842 and 1844 by Charles Darwin. Edited by his son, 

 Francis Darwin, Honorary Fellow of Christ's College, Cambridge. 



" We have to thank Mr Darwin for preserving for us with filial care a frag- 



Demy Svo ment of real value To the student of Darwinian literature no occupation could 



7s 6d net be more pleasurable than to make a detailed comparison between these first 

 fruits of a master mind and his later work." — Athemcum
