CIVILIZATION CONSIDERED AS A
SCIENC E. in Relation to ITS ESSENCE, ITS ELE-
MENTS, and ITS END. By GEORGE HARRIS, F.S.A.,
Barrister-at-Law, Author of "The Life of Lord Chancellor
Hardwicke," "The True Theory of Representation in a
State," &c.
The necessity is here shown, not only for general education,
but for supplying, In conjunction with it, all those various
institutions and requirements which together constitute the
Elements of Civilization, and the different measures, legisla-
tive and social, essential for its complete accomplishment,
are pointed out.

THE END RESULTING FROM THE COMPLETE
ESTABLISHMENT OF CIVILIZATION.

" Contains many sound and instructive statements, and is
evidently the result of much reading and thought."—Daily
News.
" The work, as a whole, is calculated to have a useful effect
in directing attention to the various systems of education,
and in inducing thoughtful men and women to examine in a
philosophical spirit those evidences or results of civilisation
with which they are surrounded."—Observer.
" This work is remarkable for the carefulness with which
it has adhered to the exact province marked out by the term
civilization, greatly to the advantage of the precise and logi-
cal character of the treatise. Mr. Harris discusses the nature
of civilisation in a very lucid and comprehensive manner. Of
course, however, a work like this must be full of controver-
tible propositions. We can, at all events, say that Mr.
Harris's theories are carefully considered and ably pro-
pounded ; and if we cannot agree with all that he says, we
are delighted with the generous and truth-seeking tone in
which he discusses all the questions which come before him."
—John Bull.

ON THE SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT of
STRICTURES of the URETHRA; showing why they
so often appear Incurable, when in reality they might be
removed by the most simple means.
By F. B. COITRTENAY, M.R.C.S.E.,
And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the
Cure of Strictures of the Urethra.
" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special
attention has been directed, through a long professional life,
to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases
which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his
great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various
kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which
their management is founded. By his systematic management
an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is
attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can
most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable
contribution, both to the general and professicnal reader, and
ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject
to stricture."—Medical Circular.
