TIL Won Siebold. Price 49,
This is believed to be the best and most
complete work Of the kind yet published
and its appearance in an English dress, with
the additions Of the American translator, will
no doubt be welcomed by the men Of science
of this country.
NOTICES or THE WORK
From Prof J. Wymanl
The reputation which this work enjoys in
Europe rests not only on the vast amount Of
descriptive detail relating both 10 the struc-
ture and development Of animals. but on the
great labor which has been bestowed on the
| photographed references---a ]. Dor which ev
erv investigator in the present extended con-
diions of geological knowledge will know
well how to praise As a work of re ercnce
alone it will supply very important want
which has hitherto embarrassed students in
anatomical scicucc.
The translation Of Dr.. Burnett, whose sci
entfc requirements in microscopic anatomy
and development especially, so amply qualify
him for the tasl; which he has undertaken is
have hcen made to science hy koliker,
Blanchard, Edwards, Agassiz, Dana Leidy,
and by Dr. Burnetts own researches, since
the publication of the original work in Ger
man.
The work has, heretofore, become n most
welcome contribution to English scientific lit
eraturc
from Prof Joseph Leidy1
" | feel glad to see such n work as that Of
Scbold and Stannus appearing from the
American press, and it indicates growing
taste for the highly philosophical study Of
comparative anatomy. DR.. Burnett is pre-
senting us with faithful translation and
much superadded matter, in the language of
the French convention, deserves well of his
country The intrinsic merits of the works
are very great, and think there is none 9TH
er on the same subject which presents SO
many facts in short but very clear manner. "

& We trust that this excellent work care
| fully and faithfully translated by Mr.. Bur
| nett, of Boston, will find place in every sci
entiic library where, by its attractive form
| the clearncss of its style, the amount of its
information, its good arrangement and copi-
ous bib'ioggaphical references, it may stmu-
late the educated portion Of society to a more
general study of comparative anatomy than
| has heretofore been the case. The arrange
mcnt followed is somewhat similar to that Of
Prof Owen, but the details upon which the
summary is based are comprised in notes re-
markable both for their erudtion and copi-
business, constituting y complete dictionary
of the science. The whole work is of the
highest character, and is II welcome addition
TO scientific literature"

Boston postl
"This cruiitc and comprehensive work
which is an Invaluable acquisition to the stu
dent Of comparative anatomy, has been rem
dered into English with signal ability, by Dr.
Burnett, who justly ranks among the fore
most at naturalists in this difficult branch Of
microscopic study. This worl; is a
complete history of oil that is known at the
present day Of the invcrtebrate animals the
results of patient and unrcmitting scrutiny
Of minute and frequently perpexing forms
Few volumes are given 10 the public
which contain an equal amonnt Of recondiitc
| learning. DR.. Burnett has filed
the Office o, Translator with marked success
| but this is not all, for he has added to the
orig inal, the results of his own acute and
careful observations He has earned arcpu-
| tation for zeal energy and asSiduous duvo-
| ton to science which few men acquire"
