Professor E. U YOUMANS'S WORKS. 



THE HANDBOOK OF HOUSEHOLD SCIENCE. A 



Popular Account of Heat, Light, Air, Aliment, and Cleansing, in 

 their Scientific Principles and Domestic Applications. Illustrated. 

 12mo. Cloth, $1.76. 



" A desire to prepare a better statement than has hitherto been offered of the 

 bearings of science upon the economy of the household, has led to this work. The 

 purpose has been to condense within the limits of a convenient manual the largest 

 possible amount of interesting and valuable scientific information of those agents, 

 materials, and operations in which we have a concern, chiefly as dwellers in 

 houses.' 1 From tJie Preface. 



THE CULTURE DEMANDED BY MODERN 



A Series of Addresses and Arguments on the Claims of Scientific 

 Education. Edited, with an Introduction on Mental Discipline in 

 Education, by EDWARD L. YOUMANS, M. D. 12mo. Cloth, $2.00. 



" A debt of gratitude is due to Dr. Youmans for this very interesting and in- 

 structive volume. It meets a serious want in the popular literature of our time. 

 We h we for some time sorely needed a book in which the subject of education 

 should be philosophically discussed. We have needed a book in which the claims 

 which divers branches of study rightfully have upon our attention should be fairly 

 and lucidly set forth. In the present volume the claims of scientific studies a 

 very important item in education are ably, not to say powerfully, presented. 

 The idea of collecting the opinions of various great writers, each an authority 

 in his own province, upon this most weighty subject, was a happy one. . . . We 

 need do no more in behalf of the claims of science than refer to Dr. Youmans's 

 book, where nearly all that can be urged on the subject is most forcibly urged. 11

 ical Forces. II. By Professor HELMHOLTZ : The Interaction of Natural 

 Forces. III. By Dr. J. E. MATER: 1, The Forces of Inorganic Nature;

" This work is a very welcome addition to our scientific literature, and will 



has not been paid to the publication of collected monographs or memoirs upon 

 special subjects. Dr. Youmans's work exhibits the value of such collections in a 

 very striking manner, and we earnestly hope his excellent example may be fol- 

 lowed in other branches of science. 11 American Journal of Science.
