science of living things—which, we trust, will find its way into many
hands.”—_Nature._

revised and rearranged. With 77 Illustrations. Cloth, $2.00.
“The work, though mainly intended for children and young persons, may be
most advantageously read by many persons of riper age, and may serve to
implant in their minds a fuller and clearer conception of ‘the promises,
the achievements, and claims of science.’”—_Journal of Science._
_MORAL TEACHINGS OF SCIENCE._ Cloth, 75 cents.
“The book is intended for readers who would not take up an elaborate
philosophical work—those who, feeling puzzled and adrift in the present
chaos of opinion, may welcome even a partial solution, from a scientific
point of view, of the difficulties which oppress their minds.”—_From the
Preface._
Recent Volumes of the International Scientific Series.
_A HISTORY OF CRUSTACEA._ By Rev. THOMAS R. R. STEBBING, M.A., author
of “The Challenger Amphipoda,” etc. With numerous Illustrations.
12mo. Cloth, $2.00.
“Mr. Stebbing’s account of ‘Recent Malacostraca’ (soft-shelled animals)
is practically complete, and is based upon the solid foundations of
science. The astonishing development of knowledge in this branch of
natural history is due to the extension of marine research, the
perfecting of the microscope, and the general diffusion of information
regarding what has been ascertained concerning the origin of species....
This volume is fully illustrated, and contains useful references to
important authorities. It is an able and meritorious survey of recent
crustacea.”—_Philadelphia Ledger._
“In all respects an admirable piece of work.”—_The Churchman._
“One of the most valuable and entertaining volumes in the series.... The
author is master of an engaging style, and offers words of cheer and
counsel to the beginner who may be dismayed by the bewildering riches of
the crustacean world. Every branch of the subject treated is presented
in the most interesting and significant light.”—_London Saturday
Review._
