 'Anthropology an Introduction to the Study of Man and Civilization" by Edward B. Tylor, is a book which deserves and will doubtless find many readers. The authors conception of his subject is that anthropolo gy, as the science of man and of civilization, furnishes means of correlating all the scat tered subjects included in a modern liberal education; that it brings these subjects into obvious relations with each other, and thus tends to tighten rather than to increase the work of the student. As the mountain car rier charged with the transportation of heavy loads willingly adds to his burden the weight of a carrying frame for the sake of the bet ter adjustment of the load which it enables him to make, so, Professor Tylor says, the student who has many separate branches of human learning to explore-as every student in our time has-is likely to find, in an intel igent conception of the general facts and principles ot anthropology, means of di- minishing the difficulties of his task. The student who knows something of the history of that which he is called upon to study, and understands clearly how each science and art with which he concerns himself had it's OFlBIu III tue ueceSSlG1SS duO OA mankind, finds himself better able to take hold of it than he would be without such in- formation. Nowhere can such information be more agreeably obtained than in Profes- sor Tylor's book. Published by D. Apple ton & Co.,, New York, and for sale in this city by Judd the bookseller.

It is the purpose of this book to inform those who are possessed of grounds" how to cul- tfvate and neautify them. mir. oakey's di- rections are explicit, pertinent and well con- sidered.
