 Director of the 

 Revue Philosophique. Translated from the French 

 by James Mark Baldwin, B.A. With Preface 

 by James McCosh, D.D. i vol., Svo., $2. 



Extract from President McCosh' s Preface. 



American and English students will be grateful to 

 have M. Ribot's valuable work in their own tongue by 

 a competent translator. It contains the combined re- 

 sults of careful observations, experiments, and calcula- 

 tions which cannot be obtained otherwise except by 

 reading innumerable books and monographs most 

 difficult to collect. His interpretations and criticisms 

 also are original and profound. 



PERSIA : The Land of the Imams. 



By James Bassett, late missionary to Persia. 

 1 vol., i2mo., $1.50. 



Mr. Bassett's very readable and very thorough volume 

 has a timely as well as a permanent interest. Long 

 residence in the country admirably qualified him to give 

 such an account of Persia as would meet the needs of 

 western readers who desire to be fully informed by a 

 competent observer. 



Cares, and Work.

 of Forty Years. By 



George Rae, author of ' Bullion's Letters to a 

 Bank Manager.' With an American Preface by

 Since the publication of Mr. Walter Bagehot's work 

 on ' Lombard Street,' there has appeared no book upon
