Prof. J. H. COMSTOCK, Leland Stanford, Junior, University.—" I 

 have read it with great delight. It is an admirable work, giving a true 

 view of the existing state and tendencies of zoology ; and it possesses the 

 rare merit of being an elementary work, written from the standpoint ol 

 the most advanced thought, and in a manner to be understood by the 

 beginning student." 



THE FRENCH REVOLUTION 

 By Charles E. Mallet, Balliol College, Oxford. 

 i2mo, $T.oo net. 



This book has a special value to students and readers who do not own 

 the great works of such writers as De Tocqueville, Taine, Michelet, and 

 Von Sybel. Mr. Mallet presents economic and political aspects of society 

 before the Revolution : attelnpts to explain why the Revolution came; why 

 the men who made it failed to attain the liberty they so ardently desired, or 

 to found the new order which they hoped to see in France ; by what arts 

 and accidents, owing to what deeper causes, an inconspicuous minority 

 gradually grew into a victorious party; how external circumstances kept 

 the revolutionary fever up, and forced the Revolution forward. History 

 offers no problem of more surpassing interest and none more perplexing 

 or obscure.
