Its interest is decidedly enhanced for students who demand both
clearness and exactness of statement, by the profusion of well
executed woodcuts, diagrams, and tables, which accompany the
volume.... The suggestions of the author on the use of tea and
coffee, and of the various forms of alcohol, although perhaps not
strictly of a novel character, are highly instructive, and form an
interesting portion of the volume."--_N. Y. Tribune._

Body and Mind.
THE THEORIES OF THEIR RELATION.
By ALEXANDER BAIN, LL.D.
1 vol., 12mo. Cloth Price, $1.50.
PROFESSOR BAIN is the author of two well-known standard works upon the
Science of Mind--"The Senses and the Intellect," and "The Emotions and

with brain, he yet denies 'the association of union _in place_,'
but asserts the union of close succession in time,' holding that
'the same being is, by alternate fits, under extended and under
unextended consciousness.'"--_Christian Register._

The Study of Sociology.
By HERBERT SPENCER.
1 vol., 12mo. Cloth Price, $1.50.
"The philosopher whose distinguished name gives weight and
influence to this volume, has given in its pages some of the
finest specimens of reasoning in all its forms and departments.
There is a fascination in his array of facts, incidents, and
opinions, which draws on the reader to ascertain his conclusions.
