FIRST STEPS IN PHILOSOPHY. 



(Physical and Btlilcal.) 



By William Mackintire Salter, 



Author of " Ethical Religion.'''' 



This little book aims to answer in a thorough- 

 going and scientific way two fundamental inquiries, 

 What is Matter? and What is Duty? Clear notions 

 on these points constitute, in the author's judg- 

 ment, indispensable preliminary steps to any sound 

 thinking in philosophy. What degree of success he 

 attains his readers and critics must judge. He 

 avoids technical language and puts his thoughts in 

 simple and popular form. The book is not so much 

 for philosophers as for ordinary men and women 

 who are feeling their way to an intelligible and 

 satisfactory view of the world.

Our Heredity from God. Lectures on Evo 

 lution. By E. P. Powell. Cloth, 12mo. 416 pages, 



SI. 75. 



It comes nearer being the hand-book of evolution, 

 adapted to those who not only are looking for a clear 

 summary of the evidences of evolution in the physical 

 world, but are anxious to know its bearings upon morals 

 and religion, than any book we know ot.— Unity, Chicago 



Altogether the book Is the most cogent, candid, and 

 absorbingly interesting of the many discussions of this 

 momentous doctrine, by a thinker who both sees and 

 states clearly Its tremendous import.— CMcago Times. 



lilberty and Life. Seventeen discourses on 

 the applications of scientific truth to morals and 

 religion. By E. P. Powell. 12mo, 308 pages, cloth, 

 SI. 00; paper, 50 cents. 



Strong, even, bold essays on ethical and religious sub- 

 jects. They are the work of a man of vigorous intellect, 

 who has studied the doctrine of evolution long and care- 

 fully, and has not found it necessary to abandon all his 

 old reverences. The discourses are full of interest to 

 the casual reader by reason of their fund of anecdote 

 and biographical citation, and to the seeker for religious 

 and moral truth tbey offer many helps.— literary World. 



The Evolution of Immortality. Sugges- 

 tions of an individual immortality based upon 

 our organic and life history. By ©. T. Stockwell. 

 Third edition, with appendix. Cloth, 12mo, 104 

 pages, 60 cents. 



A thoughtful little book, which considers the growth 

 of human being from embryological and cell-life up to 

 the origin and evolution 01 consciousness, and, noting 

 at every step the anticipation of the nest, is justified in 



Religion and Science as Allies^ or Simi- 

 larities of Scientific and Religious Knowledge. 

 By James Thompson Bixby, Ph.D. Paper, 12mo, 

 226 pages, 30 cents; cloth, 50 cents. 

 The best book published on the relations of science 

 and religion.— Christmn Union. 



We have felt much gratification in the perusal of Mr. 

 Blxby's argument. It is written in a highly commend- 

 able spirit and with a good general knowledge and ap- 

 preciation of philosophic data, and its rich suggestions 

 will be found to be by no means one of its least impor- 

 tant merits.— iV^euj York Times. 



The Unending- Genesis; or, Creation Ever 

 Present. By Henry M. Simmons. Paper, square 

 18rao, 111 pages, 25 cents. 



Here the story of the creation is told in a reverential, 

 loving spirit, showing clearly how evolution has been 

 going on for hundreds of centuries and must still go on. 

 and pro\'lng also how one overruling power works 

 through all, with a perfect and beautiful mathematical 

 precision.— U?iity. 



Elvolution and Cliristianity. A Study. By 

 J. C. P. Grumbine. Cloth, square iHmo, 75 pages, 

 30 cents. 



Mr. Grumbine's statements are sound and well put. 

 His book is the fruit of wide reading and investigation. 

 It is a helpful one, is thoroughly interesting reading, 

 and its presentation of the relation between evolution 

 and Christianity includes much valuable thought.—

RACES AND PEOPLES. 



By DANIEL G. BRINTON, M.D. 



"The book is good, thoroughly good, and will long 

 remain the best accessible elementary ethnography 

 in our language. "—r/te Christian Union. 



*'We strongly recommend Dr. Brinton's 'Races 

 and Peoples' to both beginners and scholars. We 

 are not aware of any other recent work on the 

 science of which it treats in the English language." 

 —Asiatic Quarterly. 



"His book is an excellent one, and we can heartily 

 recommend it as an introductoiy manual of ethnol- 

 ogy."— TAe Monist. 



"A useful and really interesting work, which de- 

 serves to be widely read and studied both in Europe 

 and America."— ^rig'/i^oJi (Eng.) Herald. 



"This volume is most stimulating. It is written 

 with great clearness, so that anybody can under- 

 stand, and while in some ways, perforce, superficial, 

 grasps very well the complete field of humanity."— 

 The New York Times. 



"Dr. Brinton invests his scientific illustrations and 

 measurements with an indescribable charm of nar- 

 ration, so that 'Races and Peoples.' avowedly a rec- 

 ord of discovered facts, is in reality a strong stim- 

 ulant to the imagination."— Philadelphia Public 

 Ledger. 



"The work is indispensable to the student who re- 

 quires an intelligent guide to a course of ethno- 

 graphic reading."— P/u7arfe/pft.ia Times. 



Price, postpaid, $1.75. 



THE AMERICAN RACE. 



By DANIEL G. BRINTON, M.D. 



" The book is one of unusual interest and value." — 

 Inter Ocean. 



" Dr. DaniPl G. Brinton writes as the acknowledged 

 authority of the subject."— Philadelphia Press. 



" The work will be of genuine value to all who 

 wish to know the substance of what has been found 

 out about the indigenous Americans." — Nature. 



*'A masterly discussion, and an example of the 

 successful education of the powers of observation.^ 

 —Philadelphia Ledger. i

It is an old-fashion notion 

 that medicine has to taste 

 bad to do any good. 



Scott's Emulsion is cod- 

 liver oil with its fish-fat taste 

 lost — nothing is lost but the 

 taste. 



This is more than a mat- 

 ter of comfort. Agreeable 

 taste is always a help to di- 

 gestion. A sickening taste 

 is always a hindrance. 

 There is only harm in taking 

 cod-liver oil unless you digest 

 it. Avoid the taste.

THE MODERN MALADY ; or, Suf- 

 ferers from ' Nerves.' 



An introduction to public consideration, 

 from a non-medical point of view, of a con- 

 dition of ill-health which is increasingly 

 prevalent in all ranks of society. In the 

 first part of this work the author dwells on 

 the errors in our mode of treating Neuras- 

 thenia, consequent on the wide ignorance of 

 the subject which still prevails; in the sec- 

 ond part, attention is drawn to the principal 

 causes of the malady. The allegory forming 

 the Introduction to Part I. gives a brief his- 

 tory of nervous exhaustion and the modes of 

 treatment which have at various times been 

 thought suitable to this most painful and try- 

 ing disease.

Sportsmen and ornithologists will be interested in 

 the list of Labrador birds by Mr. L. W. Turner, 

 which has been kindly revised and brought down to 

 date by Dr. J. A. Allen. Dr. S H. Scudder has con- 

 tributed the list of butterflies, and Prof. John 

 Macoun, of Ottawa, Canada, has prepared the list of 

 Labrador plants. 



Much pains has been taken to render the bibliog- 

 raphy complete, and the author is indebted to Dr. 

 Franz Boasvand others for several titles and impor- 

 tant suggestions ; and it is hoped that this feature of 

 the book will recommend it to collectors of Ameri- 

 cana. 



It is hoped that the volume will serve as a guide 

 to the Labrador coast for the use of travellers, 

 yachtsmen, sportsmen, artists, and naturalists, as 

 well as those interested in geographical and histori- 

 cal studies.
