SSAYS ON THE FLOATING MATTER OF 



THE AIR, in Relation to Putrefaction and Infection. By Prof. 

 JOHN TYNDALL, F. R. S. i2mo. Cloth, $1.50. 



"These essays raise a good deal of ne\y and old dust and dirt to public view, and 

 are very conclusive in their proof of the vicious and destructive consequences of the 

 same. . . . Mr. Tyndall does not fail to point out the latest results of M. Pasteur and 

 other specialists touching the material, chemical, and atmospheric conditions most inimi- 

 cal to poisonous dirt, and the positive conditions of clearing and cleaning the world. 

 To the wide-awake, common mind a strong ray of sunlight shining through a key- hole 

 into the quietest and cleanest room, will reveal pretty much all needed evidence that 

 most ' good air,' like ' pure water,' is very much alive. . . . The work is lucid and con- 

 vincing, yet, not prolix or pedantic, but popular and really enjoyable." Philadelphia 

 Times.
