 Facts in the History of the Archipelago. By Dean C. Worcestee, Assistant Professor of Zoology, 

 University of Michigan. Svo. Clotli Extra. Price, S4.00. 



" Full of unexpected information, and still more full of material, interestingly presented, which elab- 

 orates the facts regarding the Spanish domination in the Philippines. . . . We strongly recommend this 

 volume, first, because of the great variety and diversity' of its information, which is well and discriminatingly 

 presented ; and, second, on account of the inherent interest of the whole volume, which is as absorbing, 

 though of course in a different way, as a good adventure story." — The Herald, Boston. 



The Control of the Tropics 



By Benjamin KiDD, Author of "Social Evolution." 12iuo. Clotli. Price, T5 cents. 



The appearance of Mr. Kidd's book is particularly timely, and as it deals especially with problems 

 which are now confronting us, its circulation has been very extended ; the first edition is about exhausted, 

 and a second is in active preparation. 



" Mr. Kidd's thinliing is close and logical and his conclusions are well worthy of thoughtful consider- 

 ation." — The Ti'ibune, Chicago. 



The Rise and Growth of American Politics 



A Sketch of Constitutional Development. By Henry Jones FoED. 12iuo. Clotli. $1.50. 



Mr. Ford has set himself a difficult task. From their inception he reviews our politics from the 

 standpoint of an outsider, as Mr. Bryoe did in his "American Commonwealth.' Yet it is an explanation of 

 causes rather than a narrative of events, aiming to give the reader an understanding of the actual system of 

 government under which we live. 



To the student, whether of constitutional history or of political parties, the book is not only readable, 

 but of great value.

 by doubts." — James O. Murray, D.D., Vean of Princeton University.
