" Full of sound science, curious anecdote, and quaint illustration. Dr. Lankester 

 has a singular power of illustrative keenness; and in the discursive lessons which he 

 delivers on so many subjects, there is an overflowing wealth of minute collateral infor- 

 mation which is always brought to the level of the last achievements of science." — ■ 

 Lancet. 



"The lectures possess the great merit of being interesting. The information, 

 although it may be gathered from sources not inaccessible to those who will read for 

 themselves, is brought together and arranged with the intelligence of a man who 

 thoroughly understands and performs what he intends to do. The facts thus presented 

 gain an additional value by bearing the impress and sanction of his own opinions. 

 There is no pretence about these lectures. The style is clear and pleasant; and, for 

 a work of general information on a subject interesting to everybody, these Lectures 

 on Food will be useful and popular. They contain information which every one ought 

 to possess ; and there is skill shown in giving as much information as is necessary, 

 and no more than is desirable. Dr. Lankester has fulfilled the task he proposed to 

 himself with judgment and success.'' — Athenceum. 



" A volume such as this must needs be one of the very best of its kind ; and it is 

 so. It is a work full of amusement and instruction. Dr. Lankestei-'s very suggestive 

 and interesting book leads us to forget both our iimits and our time ; and we must 

 now take leave of it with a strong recommendation to readers of all classes to pur- 

 chase, peruse, and reperuse it at their best hours of leisure." — Builder. 



" Dr. Lankester's style is so facile and attractive, that we know of no writer more 

 capable of bringing dry subjects before the public mind in an acceptable form. Many, 

 therefore, who open this volume will be carried away by the pleasure of perusal into a 

 study of useful facts, which they little dreamt of troubling themselves about." — Era. 



''These admirable lectures were delivered for the purpose of exhibiting, in a 

 popular form, the scientific principles by which the supply of food for man is regu- 

 lated; and this they do in the clearest and most captivating manner possible, being 

 almost whollyfree from technicalities, and giving useful directions, the reasonableness 

 of which is apparent at a glance. The book will be read with great pleasure even 

 where there is no idea of making any practical use of the information it contains ; 

 but, in the hands of the intelligent and thoughtful man it would be an invaluable 

 guide in matters of diet, enabling him to do much, under the Divine blessing, towards 

 the preservation of his own health, and towards the building up of his children in 

 strength and vigour." — Patriot.
