THE POPULAR SCIENCE MONTHLY. 



author's first work will lead many readers 

 to look to the promised volume with no 

 little expectation. 



" The Outlines of Psychology, with Special 

 Reference to the Theory of Education," by 

 James Sully, now in the press of D. Apple- 

 ton & Co., is the kind of book that has 

 been long wanted by all who are engaged 

 in the business of teaching and desire to 

 master its principles. In the first place, it 

 is an elaborate treatise on the human mind, 

 of independent merit as representing the 

 latest and best work of all schools of psy- 

 chological inquiry. But of equal impor- 

 tance, and what will be prized as a new 

 and most desirable feature of a work on 

 mental science, is the educational applica- 

 tions that are made throughout in separate 

 text and type, so that, with the explication 

 of mental phenomena, there comes at once 

 the application to the art of education. 



One of the most fascinating popular sci- 

 entific books ever written is Dr. Charles C. 

 Abbott's " Rambles about Home," soon to 

 be issued by D. Appleton & Co. Readers of 

 the early volumes of " The Popular Science 

 Monthly " know how interesting Dr. Abbott's 

 sketches are, and this book will surely im- 

 pel many to spend their first leisure hours 

 in the country in watching the animal life 

 about them. 



Professor John Trowbridge, of Har- 

 vard University, has written a text-book for 

 schools, which D. Appleton & Co. have in 

 preparation. It is entitled " The New Phys- 

 ics," and admirably carries out the prin- 

 ciples of the new education, in requiring 

 the pupil to become familiar with the prop- 

 erties of matter and the phenomena of force 

 by perfonning experiments for himself. 



A NEW series of science text-books, each 

 of which is the work of an able specialist, 

 is being brought out by D. Appleton & Co. 

 The " Physiology," by Roger S. Tracy, M. D., 

 Sanitary Inspector of the New York City 

 Health Department, and the " Chemistry," 

 by Professor F. W. Clarke, Chemist of the U. 

 S. Geological Survey, are now ready. Be- 

 fore September 1st will be issued the "Zo- 

 ology," by C. F. Holder, and J. B. Holder, 

 M. D., Curator of Zoology of the American 

 Museum of Natural History, New York; 

 and the, " Geology," a new elementary book. 



by Professor Joseph Le Conte, of the Uni- 

 versity of California. Other volumes are to 

 follow soon.
