The most important contribution to the study of the origin of species and the evolution of man which has been published since Darwin's death. -New York Sun. There is no better book than this in which to look for an intelligent, complete, and fair presentation of both sides of the discussion on evolution.-New York Herald. The Evolution of Sex. By Prof. Patric Such a work as this, written by Prof. Geddes. who has contributed many articles on the same and kindred subjects to the Encyclopædia Brit tannica, and by Mr. J. Arthur Thomson, is not. for the specialist, though the specialist may find it good reading, nor for the reader of light lite: ature, though the latter would do well to grapp with it. Those who have followed Darwin, Wallace, Huxley and Haeckel in their various publications, and have heard of the later argu ments against heredity brought forward by Prof. Weissman, will not be likely to put it down unread. The authors have some extremelyinteresting ideas to state, particularly with. regard to the great questions of sex and environ-ment in their relation to the growth of life on. earth. They are to be congratulated on thescholarly and clear way in which they have handled a difficult and delicate subject.-Times.. Capital: A Critical Analysis of Capi talistic Production. By Karl Marx.. Translated from the third German edition by Samuel Moore and Edward Aveling, and edited by Frederick Engels. The only American Edition. Carefully Revised. Cloth, $1.75. The great merit of Marx, therefore, lies in the work he has done as a scientific inquirer into the economic movement of modern times, as the philosophic historian of the capitalistic era.--: Encyclopædia Brittannica. So great a position has not been won by any work on Economic Science since the appearance of The Wealth of Nations. All these circumstances invest, therefore, the teachings of this particularly acute thinker with an interest such as cannot be claimed by any other thinker of the present day.-The Athenæum.

'The learned Swedish physician, Björnström.-Churchman. It is a strange and mysterious subject, this hypnotism.-The Sun. Perhaps as concise as any work we have.-S. California Practitioner. We have found this book exceedingly interesting.-California Homapath. A concise, thorough, and scientific examination of a little-understood subject.-Episcopal Recorder. Few of the new books have more interest for scientist and layman alike.-Sunday Times (Boston). The study of hypnotism is in fashion again. It is a fascinating and dangerous study.— Toledo Bee. It is well written, being concise, which is a difficult point to master in all translations.— Medical Bulletin (Philadelphia). The subject will be fascinating to many, and it receives a cautious yet sympathetic treatment in this book.-Evangelist. One of the most timely works of the hour. No physician who would keep up with the times can afford to be without this work.-Quarterly Journal of Inebriety. Its aim has been to give all the information that may be said under the present state of our knowledge. Every physician should read this volume.-American Medical Journal (St. Louis). It is a contribution of decided value to a much-disussed and but little-analyzed subject by an eminent Swedish alienist known to American students of European psychiatry.Medical Standard (Chicago). This is a highly interesting and instructive book. Hypnotism is on the onward march to the front as a scientific subject for serious thought and investigation.—The Medical Free Press (Indianapolis). Many of the mysteries of mesmerism, and all that class of manifestation, are here treated at length, and explained as far as they can be with our present knowledge of psychology.-New York Journal of Commerce. The marvels of hypnotic phenomena increase with investigation. Dr. Björnström, in this clear and well-written essay, has given about all that modern science has been able to develop of these phenomena.-Medical Visitor (Chicago). It has become a matter of scientific research, and engages the attention of some of the foremost men of the day, like Charcot, of Paris. It is interesting reading, outside of any usefulness, and may take the place of a novel on the office table.-Eclectic Medical Journal (Cincinnati). This interesting book contains a scholarly account of the history, development, and scientific aspect of hypnotism. As a whole, the book is of great interest and very instructive. It is worthy of careful perusal by all physicians, and contains nothing unfit to be read by the laity.-Medical and Surgical Reporter (Philadelphia). To define the real nature of hypnotism is as difficult as to explain the philosophy of toxic or therapeutic action of medicine-more so, indeed. None the less, however, does it behoove the practitioner to understand what it does, even if he cannot tell just what it is, or how it operates. Dr. Björnström's book aims to give a general review of the entire subject. -Medical Record.
