New Complete Uniform Edition in three volumes. Price $3 75, muslin.
As an evidence of the great value of these popular writings on
Physiological Science, it is sufficient to state that over thirty
thousand copies of his several works have been sold since their first
appearance in the United States. These works comprise a large amount
of curious and valuable information, equally adapted for popular use,
and the advancement of science.
“If ever writer chose an attractive theme, Mr. Walker is certainly that
writer. His volumes contain a vast fund of original, profound, acute,
curious, and amusing observation, highly interesting to all.”—London
Literary Gazette.

the performance of his work with qualifications of a high order, and has
supported it with extensive philosophical research, and delightful
attractions in illustrative anecdote.”—Spectator.
