undertaken with more advantage of experience—a work
which takes a really philosophical range in its investigation

inquiries."—Standard.

cassar,' and which belongs to a person of considerable attain-
ments, scientific and general reading."—Morning Post.

and the volume, for many curious reasons, in its collection of
anecdotes and facts, is highly interesting, and closes up an-
other gap in the history of the human body, which had
hitherto been but partially filled. Several plates to illustrate
the fashion and physiology of this appendage add to the
attractions of the book, which will well repay perusal."—
Weekly Dispatch.
" An elaborate historical and physiological essay on every-
thing pertaining to what has been most aptly described as

amount of Information, nut only amusing, but usefully in,
structive."—Kent Herald.
