BY tie publication of works similar to these
four volumes the Messrs. Appleton are fast
coming to be recognized as the leading caterers
to the taste for popular science in America,-as
they truly are. That first named is a series OF
lectures on ethnology, written in plain and
familiar language, as the author says, for the
benefit OF those who are not profoundly learned.
but who are anxious to clear their minds of such
doubts about their origin as once disturbed his
own. The three essays constituting the second
named volume are the meditations of a strong
and active mind upon the bearings of his former
studies. The opinions OF the author are clearly
and gracefully expressed, and the book would
justify perusal aside from its scientific value.
"Chemistry" and "Physics" are the initial vol
umes Of new series OF "Science Primers" to
be edited by Professors Huxley, Roscoe and
Stewart, the object being "to convey informa-
ton in such a manner as to make it intelI-
gibie to pupils in the most elementary classes"
They are clearly printed and well illustrated.
and can hardly fail to come into general use.
