and Drs. F. Von Luscber, W. Seler, F. W.

 the world- mountain, Meru, a number of re- 

 cent Siamese books and manuscripts, a col- 

 lection of Chinese idols from Amoy, the latest

 ciety, the Siamese art work Trai-Phum, or

 anthropology. 



A very elaborate examination of the de- 

 velopment of Kant's philosophical system is 

 presented in the Kant-Stvdien of Dr. Erich 

 Addickes (Kiel and Leipsic: Lipsius and 

 Fischer). In the first part of the essay, 

 which is devoted to this subject specially, 



the course of the German theory of knowl- 

 edge from Leibnitz to Kant is reviewed, with 

 analyses of the systems of Leibnitz, Wolff 

 and his followers, and Crusius, after which 

 follow sections on Kant's original point of 

 view, his so-called empiristic period, his con- 

 version in the year 1769, and the inaugu- 

 ral dissertation and Kant's further develop- 

 ment. The second part is on the period of 

 the composition of the Kritik of Pure Reason. 



A volume of Chemical Experiments, con- 

 taining something over two hundred experi- 

 ments, has been prepared by Ira Remsen and 

 Wyatt W. Randall to accompany Prof. Rem- 

 sen's Introduction to the Study of Chemistry 

 (Holt, 50 cents). This laboratory manual 

 includes the experiments in the last edition 

 of the Introduction, minor changes having 

 been made in many of them, and essential 

 changes in a few. There have been also 

 some additions.
