SCIENTIFIC BOOKS. 
I Sogni, Studi psicologici e clinici di un alienista. 
SANTE DESaAncTIs. Turin. 1899. 
This latest of books about dreams and 
dreamers is written not only, as its title in- 
dicates, from the standpoint of the alienist, but 
also from that of the comparative psychologist. 
Its introductory chapters on literature and 
method are followed by discussions of the 
dreams of animals, children, old people and 
adults, of the dreams of the neuropathic, the 
mentally deranged and the delinquent. 
It is safe to say that no book ever written on 
the subject has taken into account so large a 
number of dream experiences, for De Sanctis 
throughout compares the results of his own 
observation with the published records of the 
study of others. The book has thus a bibli- 
ography of three hundred and twenty-three 
numbers, though it dispenses with the conveni- 
ence of page references.
