XX. MODERN METEOROLOGY. AN ACCOUNT OF THE GROWTH AND PRESENT CONDITION OF
SOME BRANCHES OF METEOROLOGICAL SCIENCE. By FRANK WALDO, PH.D., Member of
the German and Austrian Meteorological Societies, etc.; late Junior
Professor, Signal Service, U.S.A. With 112 Illustrations. 3s. 6d.
"The present volume is the best on the subject for general use that we
have seen."--_Daily Telegraph_ (London).
XXI. THE GERM-PLASM: A THEORY OF HEREDITY. By AUGUST WEISMANN, Professor
in the University of Freiburg-in-Breisgau. With 24 Illustrations. 6s.
"There has been no work published since Darwin's own books which has so
thoroughly handled the matter treated by him, or has done so much to place
in order and clearness the immense complexity of the factors of heredity,
or, lastly, has brought to light so many new facts and considerations
bearing on the subject."--_British Medical Journal._
XXII. INDUSTRIES OF ANIMALS. By F. HOUSSAY. With numerous Illustrations.
3s. 6d.
"His accuracy is undoubted, yet his facts out-marvel all romance. These
facts are here made use of as materials wherewith to form the mighty
fabric of evolution."--_Manchester Guardian._
XXIII. MAN AND WOMAN. By HAVELOCK ELLIS. Illustrated. Second Edition. 6s.
"Mr. Havelock Ellis belongs, in some measure, to the continental school of
anthropologists; but while equally methodical in the collection of facts,
he is far more cautious in the invention of theories, and he has the
further distinction of being not only able to think, but able to write.
His book is a sane and impartial consideration, from a psychological and
anthropological point of view, of a subject which is certainly of primary
interest."--_Athenæum._
XXIV. THE EVOLUTION OF MODERN CAPITALISM. By JOHN A. HOBSON, M.A. 3s. 6d.
"Every page affords evidence of wide and minute study, a weighing of facts
as conscientious as it is acute, a keen sense of the importance of certain
points as to which economists of all schools have hitherto been confused
and careless, and an impartiality generally so great as to give no
indication of his [Mr. Hobson's] personal sympathies."--_Pall Mall
Gazette._
XXV. APPARITIONS AND THOUGHT-TRANSFERENCE. By FRANK PODMORE, M.A. 3s. 6d.
"A very sober and interesting little book.... That thought-transference is
a real thing, though not perhaps a very common thing, he certainly
shows."--_Spectator._
XXVI. AN INTRODUCTION TO COMPARATIVE PSYCHOLOGY. By Professor C. LLOYD
MORGAN. With Diagrams. 6s.
"A strong and complete exposition of Psychology, as it takes shape in a
mind previously informed with biological science.... Well written,
extremely entertaining, and intrinsically valuable."--_Saturday Review._
XXVII. THE ORIGINS OF INVENTION: A STUDY OF INDUSTRY AMONG PRIMITIVE
PEOPLES. By OTIS T. MASON, Curator of the Department of Ethnology in the
United States National Museum. 3s. 6d.
"A valuable history of the development of the inventive
faculty."--_Nature._
