THE ATOMIC THEORY. By AD. WUBTZ, Membre de 1'Institut; Doyen 
Honoraire de la Faculte de Medecine ; Professeur a la Faculte des Sciences 
de Paris. Translated by E. CLEMINSHAW, M, A., F. C.S., F. I. C., Assist- 
ant Master at Sherborne School. 12mo, cloth, $1.50. 
" There was need for a book like this, which discusses the atomic theory both 
in its historic evolution and in its present form. And perhaps no man of this 
age could have been selected so able to perform the task in a masterly way as 
the illustrious French chemist, Adolph Wiirtz. It is impossible to convey to the 
reader, in a notice like this, any adequate idea of the scope, lucid instrnctiveness, 
and scientific interest of Professor Wurtz's book. The modern problems of 
chemistry, which are commonly so obscure from imperfect exposition, are here 
made wonderfully clear and attractive." The Popular Science Monthly.

T. H. HUXLEY, F. R. 8. With 82 Illustrations. 12mo, cloth, $1.75. 
" Whoever will follow these pages, crayfish in hand, and will try to verify for 
himself the statements which they contain, will find himself brought face to face- 
with all the trreat zoological questions which excite so lively an interest at the 
present day." 
"The reader of this valuable monograph will lay it down with a feeling of 
wonder at the amount, and variety of matter which has been got out of so seem- 
ingly slight and unpretending a subject." Saturday Review.
