6. Founders of Modern Psychology ; by G. Stanley Hall. 

 Pp. vii, 471, with 6 portraits. New York and London, 1912 (D. 

 Appleton and Company).— The basis of this volume is to be found 

 in six lectures given by the author a year since at Columbia 

 University. They are rather popular than technical in charac- 

 ter, but give a most interesting account of six men whose original 

 work has contributed largely to the development of modern 

 psychology in its varied lines. The author himself came under 

 the direct influence of four of these men when a student in Ger- 

 many from 1870-73 ; hence he writes of them as only one who 

 has had direct personal acquaintance can do. The six philosophers 

 discussed in this volume are characterized as follows : "Edward 

 D. Zeller, the historian of ancient philosophy; Edward von Ilart- 

 mann, the philosopher of temperament ; Herman Lotze, the har- 

 monizer ; Theodore Fechner, the animist ; Herman von Helm- 

 holtz, the ideal man of science; and Wilhelm Wundt, a scientific 

 philosopher."

 Wuova Colonia ; by P. Vinassa. de Regjsty. Pp. xv, 214; 

 plates xxxiv. Mijano, 1913 (Ulrico Hoepli). — Recent events by 

 which a large tract in North Africa has passed under Italian rule 

 give a special interest to this work by the author, who is a profes- 

 sor in the University of Parma. It is based largely upon original 

 observations made in traveling through the region sometime since, 

 and covers the various points of interest connected with this 

 region ; that is, its physiography ; vegetation, both native 

 and cultivated ; the life, and other points. There is a chapter 

 on the geology, with a colored geological map, and a series of 

 thirty-lour photogravure plates put vividly before the reader 

 the scenery and many other points of interest connected with this 

 part of northern Africa.
