THE HUMAN HAIR, Popularly and Physio-
logically Considered with special reference to its Pre-
servation, Improvement! and Adornment, and the various
Modes of its Decoration in all Countries. By ALEXANDER
ROWLAND.
"This is a most complete and systematic treatise on the
human hair, considered anatomically, physiologically, ethno-
logically, andi aesthetically."—Literary Gazette.
A variety of useful and entertaining matter connected
with the human hair. The work is illustrated by a number
of well executed engravings."—Atlas.
"A really entertaining and instructivevolume."-,Johnßull.
"Seldom have we met with a more popular, pleasant, or
really useful book."—Globe.
" No one can undertake the task that he (Mr. Rowland)has
undertaken with more advantage of experience—a work
which takes a really philosophical range in its investigation
whether regard be had to the minuteness or the extent of his
inquiries."—Standard.
" An amusing and well illustrated work of great research."
—Church and State Gazette.
"Treated by a fully competent hand—the hand which in
the first place holds the secret of the' incomparable Oil Ma-
cassar,' and which belongs to a person of considerable attain-
ments, scientific and general reading."—Morning Post.
" One of the most useful, and probably the most interesting
of any of the works recently issued."—Court Journal.
" A most remarkable publication, very fertile of interesting
and amusing matter; much of the discussion has about it all
the enchantment of a fairy tale."—British Banner.
"This is a well-thned and a really interesting and curious
production. It is the fruit of more than fi tty years' devotion
to the human hair."—Builder.
" A very aureeable and readable volume, abounding in
anecdote. and valuable from the circumstance of its contain-
ing a great deal of practical advice.'.—Salisbary Journal.
One of the most interesting, lively, and instructive vo-
lumes it bas been our good fortune to read—in fact it is a
charming volume, and the very antipodes of a dry treatise."
--,S'ividay 7 ime.c. . •

" Theie is in it the evidenceof much reading and research ;
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
woman's greatest ornament. We have scarcely ever met
with a more entertaining as well as instructive work."—
Brighton Gazette.
" The work evidences great research, and contains a vast
amount of information,. not only amusing, but usefully in-
structive."—Ken[ Herald.
