"A fascinating subject, cleverly related and almost colloquially discussed."--_Philadelphia Public Ledger_. _THE HORSE;_ A Study in Natural History. By William H. Flower, C. B., Director in the British Natural History Museum. With 27 Illustrations. "The author admits that there are 3,800 separate treatises on the horse already published, but he thinks that he can add something to the amount of useful information now before the public, and that something not heretofore written will be found in this book. The volume gives a large amount of information, both scientific and practical, on the noble animal of which it treats."--_New York Commercial Advertiser_. _THE OAK:_ A Study in Botany. By H. Marshall Ward, F. R. S. With 53 Illustrations. "From the acorn to the timber which has figured so gloriously in English ships and houses, the tree is fully described, and all its living and preserved beauties and virtues, in nature and in construction, are recounted and pictured."--_Brooklyn Eagle_. _ETHNOLOGY IN FOLK LORE._ By George L. Gomme, F. S. A., President of the Folklore Society, etc. "The author puts forward no extravagant assumptions, and the method he points out for the comparative study of folk-lore seems to promise a considerable extension of knowledge as to prehistoric times."--_Independent_. _THE LAWS AND PROPERTIES OF MATTER._ By R. T. Glazebrook, F. R. S., Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge. "It is astonishing how interesting such a took can be made when the author has a perfect mastery of his subject, as Mr. Glazebrook has. One knows nothing of the world in which he lives until he has obtained some insight of the properties of matter as explained in this excellent work."--_Chicago Herald_. _THE FAUNA OF THE DEEP SEA._ By Sydney J. J. Hickson, M. A., Fellow of Downing College, Cambridge. With 23 Illustrations. "That realm of mystery and wonders at the bottom of the great waters is gradually being mapped and explored and studied until its secrets seem no longer secrets. . . . This excellent book has a score of illustrations and a careful index to add to its value, and in every way is to be commended for its interest and its scientific merit."--_Chicago Times_. Each, 12mo, cloth, $1.00. New York: D. APPLETON & CO., 72 Fifth Avenue. * * * * * Transcriber Note Figure captions were standardized. All figures were moved to avoid splitting paragraphs.
