LITERARY NOTICES. 



Morris and McMurrich. Human Anatomy; a complete systematic treatise by English and Ameri- 

 can Ai'thors. Fourth Edition. Part III, The Nervous System, Organs of Special Sense. Phila- 

 delphia, P. Blakisten's S^n & Cv. 1907. $1.50. 



In this fourth American edition of Morris's Anatomy xh.e section on the Nerv- 

 ous System is revised by Irving Hardesty, that on the Eye by R. Marcus 

 GuNN, and the Ear, Tongue and Nose by AbramT. Kerr. As a text-book it is 

 to be warmly commended as giving an unusually large amount of descriptive detail, 

 well coordinated and clearly written. The illustrations, most of which bear the 

 descriptive legend in full on the figure, are good and judiciously chosen. The 

 BNA nomenclature is used throughout, with however vernacular or older Latin 

 terms added when necessary to avoid confusion. The mechanical excellence of 

 the book is praiseworthy, and particularly the fact that it is printed on thin paper, 

 thus avoiding the clumsy bulk which American text-book publishers usually inflict 

 upon their patrons. The moderate price is also to be commended.

The fact that this book has been reprinted seven times is indicative of the 

 interest which it has aroused and of its value. In its present form it is not 

 essentially different from the previous editions, for, as the author remarks, "the 

 revision has been mainly in matters of details of fact, and of exactness of exposi- 

 tion." Teachers of Comparative and Genetic Psychology will be grateful to 

 Professor Baldwin and to his publishers for again making available a text-book, 

 which, despite its obscurities of style, is of great value to students.
