"'The Great Ice Age,' by James Geikie, is a book that unites the
popular and abstruse elements of scientific research to a
remarkable degree. The author recounts a story that is more
romantic than nine novels out of ten, and we have read the book
from first to last with unflagging interest."--_Boston Commercial
Bulletin._

=THE PHYSIOLOGY OF MAN.= Designed to represent the Existing State of
Physiological Science as applied to the Functions of the Human Body.
By AUSTIN FLINT, Jr., M.D. Complete in Five Volumes, octavo, of about
500 pages each, with 105 Illustrations. Cloth, $22.00; sheep, $27.00.
Each volume sold separately. Price, cloth, $4.50; sheep, $5.50. The
fifth and last volume has just been issued.
The above is by far the most complete work on human physiology in the
English language. It treats of the functions of the human body from a
practical point of view, and is enriched by many original experiments
and observations by the author. Considerable space is given to
physiological anatomy, particularly the structure of glandular organs,
the digestive system, nervous system, blood-vessels, organs of special
sense, and organs of generation. It not only considers the various
functions of the body, from an experimental stand-point, but is
peculiarly rich in citations of the literature of physiology. It is
therefore invaluable as a work of reference for those who wish to
study the subject of physiology exhaustively. As a complete treatise
on a subject of such interest, it should be in the libraries of
literary and scientific men, as well as in the hands of practitioners
and students of medicine. Illustrations are introduced wherever they
are necessary for the elucidation of the text.
RECENT PUBLICATIONS.
=THE NATIVE RACES OF THE PACIFIC STATES.=
By HERBERT H. BANCROFT. To be completed in 5 vols. Vol. 1. now ready.
Containing Wild Tribes: their Manners and Customs. 1 vol., 8vo. Cloth,
$6; sheep, $7.
"We can only say that if the remaining volumes are executed in the
same spirit of candid and careful investigation, the same untiring
industry, and intelligent good sense, which mark the volume before
us, Mr Bancroft's 'Native Races of the Pacific States' will form,
as regards aboriginal America, an encyclopædia of knowledge not
only unequaled but unapproached. A literary enterprise more
deserving of a generous sympathy and support has never been
undertaken on this side of the Atlantic."--FRANCIS PARKMAN, in the
_North American Review_.
