Contents : — " Natural Heritage." " On Degeneration in Man." 

 " On Moral and Criminal Epidemics." "Body y. Mind." '^Il- 

 lusions and Hallucinations." "On Somnambulism. "Reverie 

 and Abstraction." These Essays are intended as a contribution to 

 the Natural History of those outlying regions of Thought and 

 Action whose domain is the debateable ground of Brain, Nerve, 

 and Mind. They are designed also to indicate the origin and mode 

 of perpetuation of those varieties of organization, intelligence, and 

 general tendencies towards vice or inrtue, which seem to be so 

 capriciously developed among mankind. They also point to causes 

 for the infinitely varied forms of disorder of nerve and brain — 

 organic and functional— far deeper and more recondite than those 

 generally believed in. " The book is one which all statesmen, 

 magistrates, clergymen, medical men, and parents should study and 

 inwardly digest." — Examiner.

 In this Lecture Dr. Fox describes in minute detail a large number of 

 experiments made by him on guinea-pigs and rabbits for the pur- 

 pose of inquiring into the origin of Tubercle by the agency of direct 

 irritation or by septic matters. This method of inquiry he believes 

 to be one of the most important advances which have been recently 

 made in the pathology of the disease. The work is illustrated by 

 three plates, each containing a number of carefully coloured illus- 

 trations from nature.
