Arts and Industries —Regarding the human race as a whole, 
for the time being, there are certain occupations of daily life, as 
well as means of gratification, which have had a history similar 
to that of an individual or of the race itself. We may ignore, if 
we please, the question of time and race, and follow the unfolding 
of this industry or pastime through all the stages of its growth. 
It is this study of comparative industry in all times and lands 
which lends such a charm to the writings of Mr. E. B. Tylor. 
In the whole range of anthropological study there is no question 
more puzzling than that which arises respecting the occurrence 
of the same art or industry in widely separated areas, On this 
subject I have collected the following titles: 
Curious een in regard to the manner of making flint implements by the aborig- 
à prehistoric inhabitants of America, (Scientific American). Engineer- 
ing a se Mining Sagas Aug.

Sociology —Under the head of Sociology are includêd the 
works of such authors as Morgan and Wilson in our own coun- 
try, and abroad such names as Lubbock, Tylor, McLennan, 
Wake, Sir Henry Maine, and towering above all, Herbert Spen- 
cer. There is no civilized country where so many distinct races 
of men enter into one social compact as in our own. In addition 
to the conglomeration of Europeans, we have the African, the 
Mongolian, and the Aborigines, becoming hybridized in myriad 
combinations. To reduce this chaos to order and to learn the 
social lessons which it teaches is a work worthy of our ablest 
minds. During the past year the following publications have 
appeared : 
AINSLEE, J. G.—Marriage customs. Potters Am. Monthly, Sept., Oct. 
B. E.—The Indian as a coming citizen. Lippincott’s Mag., Jan. 
Burial Customs. Am. Antiquarian, Sept.
