of  material  is  excellent  and  there  is  a  very  happy  combination  of 
microscopical  technique  and  chemical  methods  of  analysis.  The 
students  that  will  be  most  benefited  by  this  work  are  the  chemists, 
and  this  is  probably  the  first  time  that  a  work  has  been  published  in 
this  country  which  could  be  recommended  generally  for  university 
and  college  courses.  Henry  Kraemer.

This  work  is  dedicated  to  the  scholars  of  France,  worthy  custo-

time  when  France  has  reached  the  heights  of  moral  greatness  and 
is  offered  with  heartfelt  admiration  and  sympathy  in  the  name  of 
the  scholars  of  America.  The  editor-in-chief  is  Dr.  John  H.  "Wig- 
more,  of  Northwestern  University.  He  with  a  corps  of  authors 
have  placed  before  the  American  public  the  contributions  of  France 
in  all  fields  of  scientific  knowledge.  The  purpose  of  this  volume 
is  to  show  the  status  of  France  in  the  forefront  of  the  world's 
progress  and  to  furnish  American  university  students  all  informa- 
tion bearing  on  graduate  work  in  France.

record  of  French  scholarship  during  the  past  century ;  the  notable 
achievements  ;  the  eminent  leaders  ;  the  special  lines  of  development ; 
in  general,  the  share  of  France  in  the  world's  progress.  (2)  The 
courses  of  instruction  given,  now  or  recently,  at  the  universities  of 
France,  particularly  at  the  University  of  Paris ;  the  names  of  the 
most  important  scholars,  with  mention  of  their  principal  contribu- 
tions and  of  the  special  fields  of  research  over  which  they  preside. 
(3)  The  facilities  available  for  study  and  research,  including  the 
libraries,  laboratories,  archives,  and  museums,  the  auxiliary  insti- 
tutes, special  schools,  and  learned  societies  and  committees. 
There  is  also  an  introduction,  describing  the  general  intellectual 
spirit  of  France'and  Paris,  and  the  interest  and  attractions  that  capi- 
tal and  country  offer  to  the  foreign  scholars;  and  an  Appendix, 
describing  the  organization  of  French  universities,  the  standards  of 
preparation  expected  of  the  student,  the  system  of  degrees,  the 
custom  as  to  residence  and  attendance,  the  regulations  as  to  fees 
and  the  like ;  and  other  facts  useful  to  the  visiting  student.
