"Mr. Huxley has covered a vast variety of topics during the last quarter of a century.

D. APPLETON AND COMPANY'S PUBLICATIONS.

Pioneers of Evolution, from Thales to Huxley By Edward Clodd, President of the Folk-Lore Society; Author of "The Story of Creation," "The Story of 'Primitive' Man," etc. With Portraits, 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.

"The mass of interesting material which Mr. Clodd has got together and woven into a symmetrical story of the progress from ignorance and theory to knowledge and the intelligent recording of fact is prodigious.... The 'goal' to which Mr. Clodd leads us in so masterly a fashion is but the starting point of fresh achievements, and, in due course, fresh theories. His book furnishes an important contribution to a liberal education."—London Daily Chronicle.

"We are always glad to meet Mr. Clodd. He is never dull; he is always well informed, and he says what he has to say with clearness and precision.... The interest intensifies as Mr. Clodd attempts to show the part really played in the growth of the doctrine of evolution by men like Wallace, Darwin, Huxley, and Spencer.... We commend the book to those who want to know what evolution really means."—London Times.

"This is a book which was needed.... Altogether, the book could hardly be better done. It is luminous, lucid, orderly, and temperate. Above all, it is entirely free from personal partisanship. Each chief actor is sympathetically treated, and friendship is seldom or never allowed to overweight sound judgment"—London Academy.

"We can assure the reader that he will find in this work a very useful guide to the lives and labors of leading evolutionists of the past and present. Especially serviceable is the account of Mr. Herbert Spencer and his share in rediscovering evolution, and illustrating its relations to the whole field of human knowledge. His forcible style and wealth of metaphor make all that Mr. Clodd writes arrestive and interesting."—London Literary World.

"Can not but prove welcome to fair-minded men.... To read it is to have an object-lesson in the meaning of evolution.... There is no better book on the subject for the general reader.... No one could go through the book without being both refreshed and newly instructed by its masterly survey of the growth of the most powerful idea of modern times."—The Scotsman.

BOOKS ON SOCIAL SCIENCE.

Socialism New and Old.

By Prof. William Graham, 12mo. Cloth, $1.75.

"Professor Graham's book may be confidently recommended to all who are interested in the study of socialism, and not so intoxicated with its promises of a new heaven and a new earth as to be impatient of temperate and reasoned criticism."—London Times.

"Professor Graham presents an outline of the successive schemes of three writers who have chiefly influenced the development of socialism, and dwells at length upon the system of Rousseau, that of St. Simon, and on that of Karl Marx, the founder of the new socialism, 'which has gained favor with the working classes in all civilized countries,' which agrees with Rousseau's plan in being democratic, and with St. Simon's in aiming at collective ownership.... The professor is an independent thinker, whose endeavor to be clear has resulted in the statement of definite conclusions. The book is a remarkably fair digest of the subject under consideration."—Philadelphia Ledger.

Dynamic Sociology:

Or, Applied Social Science, as based upon Statical Sociology and the less Complex Sciences. By Lester F. Ward, A.M. In 2 vols. 12mo. Cloth, $4.00.

"A book that will amply repay perusal.... Recognizing the danger in which sociology is, of falling into the class of dead sciences or polite amusements, Mr. Ward has undertaken to 'point out a method by which the breath of life can be breathed into its nostrils.'"—Rochester Post-Express.

"Mr. Ward has evidently put great labor and thought into his two volumes, and has produced a work of interest and importance. He does not limit his effort to a contribution to the science of sociology.... He believes that sociology has already reached the point at which it can be and ought to be applied, treated as an art, and he urges that 'the State' or Government now has a new, legitimate, and peculiar field for the exercise of intelligence to promote the welfare of men."—New York Times.

Criminal Sociology.

By Prof. E. Ferri. A new volume in the Criminology Series, edited by W. Douglas Morrison, 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.

In this volume Professor Ferri, a distinguished member of the Italian Parliament, deals with the conditions which produce the criminal population, and with the methods by which this anti-social section of the community may be diminished. He divides the causes of crime into two great classes, individual and social. The individual causes consist of physical and mental defects; the social causes consist of social disadvantages of every description. His view is that the true remedy against crime is to remove individual defects and social disadvantages where it is possible to remove them. He shows that punishment has comparatively little effect in this direction, and is apt to divert attention from the true remedy—the individual and social amelioration of the population as a whole.
