MAN BEFORE METALS. By N. Jolt, ProfeB6or at the Science Faculty 

 of Toulouse; Correspondent of the Institute. With 148 Illustrations. 12mo, 

 Cloth, $1.75. 



"The discussion of man's orifein and early history, by Professor De Quatrefages, 

 formed one of the most useful volumes in the * International t^cientific rieries,' and 

 the same collection is now further enriched by a popular treatise on paleontology, by 

 M. N. Joly, Professor in the UoiTersity of Toulouse. The title of the book, ' Man 

 before Metals,' indicates the limitations of the writer's theme. His object is to bring 

 together the numerous proofs, collected by modem research, of the great age of the 

 human race, and to show us what man was, in respect of customs, industries, and 

 moral or religious ideas, before the use of metals was known to him." — New York

" An Interesting, not to say fascinating volume."^iV6if? York Churchman. 



ANIMAL INTELLIGENCE. By Geoegb J. Eomanes, F. E. 8., Zoological 

 Secretary of the Linnsean Society, etc. 12mo. Cloth, $1.75. 

 " My object in the work as a whole is twofold ; First, I have thought It desirable 

 that there should be something resembUng a text-book of the facts of Comparatlre 

 Psychology, to which men of science, and also metaphysicians, may turn whenever 

 they have occasion to acquaint themselves with the particular level of intelligence 

 to which this or that species of animal attains. My second and much more impor- 

 tant object is that of considering the facts of animal intelligence in their relation to the 

 theory of descent." — From the Pr^ace, 



" Unless we are greatly mistaken, Mr. Romanes's work will take its place as one 

 of the most attractive volumes of the ' International Scientific Series.' Some persons 

 may, indeed, be disposed to say that it is too attractive, that it feeds the popular taste 

 for the curious and marvelous without supplying any commensurate discipline in 

 exact scientific reflection ; but the author has, we think, fully justified himself in his 

 modest prelhce. The resnlt is the appearance of a collection of facts which will be a 

 real boon to tbe student of Comparative Psycholo^. for this Is the first attempt to 

 present systematically well-assured observations on the mental life of animals."— 5a£- 

 urday Heview. 



" The author believes himself, not without ample cause, to have completely bridged 

 the supposed gap between instinct and reason by the authentic proofs here mar- 

 shaled of remarkable intelligence In some of the higher animals. It is the seemingly 

 conclusive evidence of reasoning powers furnished by the adaptation of means to ends 

 in cases which can not be explained on the theory of inherited aptitude or habit." — 

 New York Sun. 



THE SCIENCE OF POLITICS. By Sheldon Amos, M. A., author of « The 

 Science of Law," etc. 12mo. Cloth, $1.75. 



" To the political student and the practical statesman it ought to be of great v^ilne." 

 —New York Herald. 



" The author traces the subject team Plato and Aristotle In Greece, and Cicero in 

 Some, to the modern schools m tbe English field, not slighting the teachings of the 

 American Revolution or the lessons of the French Revolution of 1798. Forms of gov- 

 ernment, political terms, the relation of law, written and unwritten, to the subject, a 

 codification from Justinian to Napoleon in France and Field in America, are treated 

 as parts of the subject in hand. Necessarily the subjects of executive and legislative 

 authority, police, hquor, and land laws are considered, and the question ever growing 

 In importance in all countries, the relations of corporations to the 8tate."^i\^e«' York
