SUMMER AND WINTER JOURNEYS THROUGH SWEDEN, NORWAY,

By PAUL B. DU CHAILLU, 



Author of " Equatorial Africa," " Ashango Land," &c. 



Third Edition. With Map and 235 Illustrations. 2 Vols. 8vo. 36^. 



"It was certainly an original idea on the part of Mr. Du Chaillu to devote the best part of 

 eight years to the exploration of Scandinavia in as deliberate a manner as if it were an 

 unknown land, visited for the first time by a civilized explorer. The result on the whole is 

 wonderfully novel and fresh. The author's rambling records have all the charm of an original 

 record of travel, combined with the piquancy of gossip. Altogether Mr. Du Chaillu's work is 

 likely to become one of the most popular books of the season."— r^e Times. 



Life, Letters, and Journals of 

 Sir Charles Lyell. 



AUTHOR OF "THE PRINCIPLES OF GEOLOGY," ETC. 



Edited by his Sister-in-Law, MRS. LYELL. 



With Portraits. 2 Vols. 8vo. 30^. 



" Our readers will do well to look at the letters for themselves, and they will find them as 

 amusing as they are instructive, besides being rich in good s.ayings and in delightful side- 

 ghmpses into the younger life of men since famous." — Pall Mall Gazette. 



The Formation of Vegetable Mould 

 through the Action of Worms, 



WITH OBSERVATIONS ON THEIR HABITS. 



By CHARLES DARWIN, LL.D., F.R.S. 



Sixth Thousand. With Illustrations. Post 8vo. 9^. 



"No one can rise from the study of Mr. Darwin's new work, which is one of the most 

 interesting he has written, without thenceforth feeling something like tenderness and respect 

 for the hitherto loathed worm, even if he hesitates to credit it with all the stupendous feats 

 which its advocate attributes to it. Mr. Darwin has elevated the creature from a cumberer of 

 the ground to the rank of a benefactor of our race, and has by his researches thrown another 

 fresh flood of light upon the workings of Nature." — The Times.
