MIND AND BODY. The Theories of their Relation. Fifth 

 Edition. Crown 8vo. 4^. 



Volume IV; of the " International Scientific Series." 



The intention of this book is "to show that the connection of mind 

 and body is not occasional or partial, but thorough -going and complete." 



" One can scarcely conceive any treatment of so abstruse a subject freer from tech- 

 nicality or more intelligible to those who are not specially students either of physiology 

 or psychology." Examiner. 



" The work before us seeks to complete the doctrine of the relation between conscious- 

 ness and bodily organism by noting and classifying the normal instances. It proposes to 

 show, not how curiously disease or any sudden change in bodily function affects the 

 brain, and through the brain the mind, but how completely all the familiar processes of 

 sensation, thought, and emotion flow, so to speak, upon the surface of nervous currents, 

 which sustain and fashion their ever-varying shapes." Saturday Review. 



BY WALTER BAGEHOT. 



PHYSICS AND POLITICS ; or, Thoughts on the Application of 

 the Principles of " Natural Selection" and '' Inheritance" to Political 

 Society. Third Edition. Crown 8vo. 4^. 



Volume II. of the "International Scientific Series." 



This volume professes to explain what has seemed to the author the 

 political pre-requisites of progress. This is done the rather because the 

 subject has hitherto been insufficiently examined, so that even if the author's 

 views are found to be faulty, the discussion upon them may bring out 

 others which are truer and better. 



" Mr. Bagehot writes in a graceful style, and has much to say upon political topics 

 that is well worth attention. We can recommend the book as well deserving to be read 

 by thoughtful students of ^politics." Saturday Review. 



" A work of really original and interesting speculation." Guardian. 



BY HERBERT SPENCER. 



THE STUDY OF SOCIOLOGY. Fifth Edition. Crown 8vo. 5*. 

 Volume V. of the " International Scientific Series." 



" There is not a line of Mr. Spencer's which is not worth reading. Alike clear and 

 comprehensive, there is in his system a degree of completeness, an all-embracing percep- 

 tion of the facts to be considered, which confers upon his writings a peculiar fascination 

 not to be found in those of any other thinkers with whom we are acquainted. This 

 charm is not wanting to the volume before us." Examiner. 



"There is no lack of interest even to those who are not inclined to concern themselves 

 with the projected social science." Academy. 



" It contains, as any writing of Mr. Spencer's needs must, a great amount of interest- 

 ing and suggestive matter." Saturday Review.
