“Judge J. B. Stallo, of Cincinnati, is a German by birth, and came to this country at about the age of seventeen. He was early familiar with science, and he lectured for some years in an Eastern college; but at length he adopted the profession of law. He is also remembered by many as an author, having a number of years ago written a metaphysical treatise of marked ability for one of his youthful years. His present book must be read deliberately, must be studied to be appreciated; but the students of science, as well as those of metaphysics, are certain to be deeply interested in its logical developments. It is a timely and telling contribution to the philosophy of science, imperatively called for by the present exigencies in the progress of knowledge. It is to be commended equally for the solid value of its contents and the scholarly finish of its execution.”—_The Popular Science Monthly._ “The book is of vital interest to a much larger class than specialists—to all, in fact, who value clear thinking or are interested in the accuracy more than the progress of scientific thought. It deals with the results and theories of physical science, and in no sense with the processes of the laboratory. It is written with a clearness that is uncommon in philosophic works and with a desire to find truth, conscious of the fact that a prime prerequisite of finding it is to clear the way of accumulated and fast-settling untruths. It is a scientific rebuke, as severe as it is lucid, of the scientists who leave their apparatus and go star-gazing: here is the pit into which they have fallen.”—_New York World._ “The volume is an important contribution to scientific discussion, and is marked by closeness of reasoning, and clearness and cogency of statement.”—_Boston Journal._ • • • • • _For sale by all booksellers; or sent by mail, post paid, on receipt of price._ • • • • • New York: D.
