MENDELISM. 



By R. C. PUNNETT, 



Felloiu of GonVille and Caius College, Cambridge. 



2s. net. 



A brief account ot Mendel and his experiments with 



Plant Hybridization, and his discovery in heredity, 



" of which the story forms one of the most romantic 



chapters in the history of science." 



ZOOLOGIST.— " Gregor Mendel, the future Abbot of Brunn, prepared 

 this paper in the cloister, which reminds us of Borelli writing his ' De 

 Motu Animalium' under somewhat similar circumstances. Mr. Punnett 

 has given us some interesting traits in the life of Abbot Mendel. ... He 

 has produced a particularly concise statement of the experiments which 

 have prompted the teachings of what is slykd ' Mendelism,' and has con- 

 tributed a valuable addition to our ever increasing evolutionary literature." 



GLASGOIV HERALD.— "T\ni is an excellent litile book explanatory 

 of the now much-discussed experiments of Mendel on the crossing of 

 different plant forms and on the subsequent results obtained in the way 

 of hybrids."

The Life of Adam Sedgwick in Cambridge throws 



much light on University history for 70 years of the 



nineteenth century (1804-1873). No one was more 



widely known, and his lectures were attended not only 



by Geological Students, but by successive generations 



of men eminent in other branches of University study. 



Opiniotis of the Press oil the piihliiation of the Life and Letten. 



NATURE.— "Mr. Clatk has had at his disposal a large amount of 

 material, from which he has drawn a picture no less vivid than accurate— 

 as we feel sure those who knew the original will admit— of a man of 

 remarkable genius and almost unique personability. He has told us the 

 story of Sedgwick's life, he has woven into it Sedgwick's letters, and the 

 result is a book which is worthy to be classed with the two best 

 biographies, at any rate of recent date, of distinguished sons of 

 Cambridge— those of Charles Kingsley and Charles Darwin." 



ATf/E.V.-Kl/lll.—''The task of writing Sedgwick's life has been a 

 most congenial one to both the authors. It could not have been com- 

 mitted to better hands, and in our opinion the work could hardly have 

 been better done. . . . Sedgwick was an accomplished letter writer. His 

 correspondence especially with ladies and children, or at .any rate that 

 portion of it now published, will be received by all with pleasure. With 

 him letter writing was .an art, and it reveals his character and ways most 

 delightfully.'
