Edited by Havelock Ellis.
I. THE EVOLUTION OF SEX. By Prof. PATRICK GEDDES and J. A. THOMSON. With
90 Illustrations. Second Edition. 3s. 6d.
"The authors have brought to the task--as indeed their names guarantee--a
wealth of knowledge, a lucid and attractive method of treatment and a rich
vein of picturesque language."--_Nature._
II. ELECTRICITY IN MODERN LIFE. By G. W. DE TUNZELMANN. With 88
Illustrations. 3s. 6d.
"A clearly-written and connected sketch of what is known about electricity
and magnetism, the more prominent modern applications, and the principles
on which they are based."--_Saturday Review._
III. THE ORIGIN OF THE ARYANS. By Dr. ISAAC TAYLOR. Illustrated. Second
Edition. 3s. 6d.
"Canon Taylor is probably the most encyclopædic all-round scholar now
living. His new volume on the Origin of the Aryans is a first-rate example
of the excellent account to which he can turn his exceptionally wide and
varied information.... Masterly and exhaustive."--_Pall Mall Gazette._
IV. PHYSIOGNOMY AND EXPRESSION. By P. MANTEGAZZA. Illustrated. 3s. 6d.
"Brings this highly interesting subject even with the latest
researches.... Professor Mantegazza is a writer full of life and spirit,
and the natural attractiveness of his subject is not destroyed by his
scientific handling of it."--_Literary World_ (Boston).
V. EVOLUTION AND DISEASE. By J. B. SUTTON, F.R.C.S. With 135
Illustrations. 3s. 6d.
"The book is as interesting as a novel, without sacrifice of accuracy or
system, and is calculated to give an appreciation of the fundamentals of
pathology to the lay reader, while forming a useful collection of
illustrations of disease for medical reference."--_Journal of Mental
Science._
VI. THE VILLAGE COMMUNITY. By G. L. GOMME. Illustrated. 3s. 6d.
"His book will probably remain for some time the best work of reference
for facts bearing on those traces of the village community which have not
been effaced by conquest, encroachment, and the heavy hand of Roman
law."--_Scottish Leader._
VII. THE CRIMINAL. By HAVELOCK ELLIS. Illustrated. Second Edition. 3s. 6d.
"The sociologist, the philosopher, the philanthropist, the novelist--all,
indeed, for whom the study of human nature has any attraction--will find
Mr. Ellis full of interest and suggestiveness."--_Academy._
VIII. SANITY AND INSANITY. By Dr. CHARLES MERCIER. Illustrated. 3s. 6d.
"Taken as a whole, it is the brightest book on the physical side of mental
science published in our time."--_Pall Mall Gazette._
