men both here and abroad. “The Speech of Monkeys” embodies his researches
up to the present time. It is divided into two parts, the first being
a record of experiments with monkeys and other animals, and the second
part a treatise on the theory of speech. The work is written so as to
bring the subject within reach of the casual reader without impairing its
scientific value. Small 8vo, with Frontispiece, Cloth, $1.00.
