Ceremonial Institutions.

Being Part IV of "The Principles of Sociology." (The first portion of Vol

ume II.) By HERBERT SPENCER. 12mo. Cloth. Price, $1.25.

"In this installment of 'The Principles of Sociology' Mr. Herbert Spencer gives us a monograph complete in itself, of moderate length, and on a subject which affords considerable literary opportunities. The opportunities have been well used, and it needs no historical enthusiasm for primitive humanity to find the book as entertaining as it is instructive. The leading idea which Mr. Spencer develops and illustrates all through the book is that, in the early history of society and institutions, form has gone before substance.”—Saturday Review.

Mind in the Lower Animals, in Health and Dis

ease.

By W. LAUDER LINDSAY, M. D., F. R. S. E., etc. In two vols., 8vo. Cloth.
Price, $4.00.

"I have studied the subject of mind in other animals, as compared with that of man, for a series of years, simply as a physician-naturalist. ... Regarding the whole subject of mind in animals from a medical and natural-history point of view, I have studied it from first to last without any preconceived ideas, with no theory to defend, support, or illustrate. .. All that I attempt is to outline the subject of mind in the lower animals, to illustrate their possession of the higher mental faculties as they occur in man."-Extract from Introduction.

The Chemistry of Common Life.

The object of Professor Huxley's new book is to afford an opportunity to students to commence the study of zoology by means of a careful verification of nearly all that is known concerning a single animal, the common crayfish. The book is termed an "Introduction to Zoology." "For whoever will follow its pages, crayfish in hand, and will try to verify for himself the statements which it contains, will find himself brought face to face with all the great zoological questions which excite so lively an interest at the present day."
