A Microscopic Examination of the Water Supplied to the In- 

 habitants of London and the Suburban Districts. By Artliur 

 Hill Hassall, M.B., F.L.S. 8vo., Coloured Plates. 2s. 6d. Lend. 



The Microscopic Anatomy of the Human Body. By A. H. 

 Hassall. The United States Edition, edited with additions and 

 notes by Henry Vanarsdale, M.D. In 2 vols., 8vo. Vol. I., pp. 

 560, text. Vol. n., pp. 168, text and 79 Coloured Plates. New 

 York: Pratt, Woodford & Co. 



This is a most valuable and able work, the only complete one 

 in the English language with which we are acquainted. This 

 American edition is as good as the English, and has ten additional 

 plates. Dr. Hassall has also written two works on the Adultera- 

 tion of Food, and the Methods by which such may be detected, 

 among which methods — as may be supposed — the microscope oc- 

 cupies an important place. 



Principles of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Vegetable 

 Cell. By Hugo Von Mohl. Translated (with the author's per- 

 mission) by Arthur Hinfrey, F.R.S. ; with an Illustrative Plate 

 and numerous Woodcuts ; pp. 158, 8vo. London : Van Voorst. 



This work deserves especial commendation. It should be in 

 the hands of every student of Physiology. 



Microscopic Objects, Animal, Vegetable, and Mineral ; with 

 Instructions for Preparing and Viewing them. By Andrew 

 Pritchard. 5 s. 



A History of Infusorial Animalcules, Living and Fossil. Il- 

 lustrated by magnified representations, by Andrew Pritchard. A 

 new edition enlarged. 1vol., 8vo, pp. 704, with 14 Plates; some 

 coloured. 



This volume contains a vast amount of information on the In- 

 fusoria, but is disfigured and injured by its slovenly arrangement. 

 We notice that the author has lately (1857) announced a new 

 edition in preparation.

 With Introduction. By John Goodsir, Professor of Anatomy, 

 University of Edinburgh. Edinburgh : Sutherland & Knox.

 my and Physiology. By T. H. Huxley, F.R.S., &c.. Lecturer on
