'The publication in a separate form of Professor Wellhausen's article in the "Encyclopædia Britannica" on "Israel" will be very warmly welcomed by many readers.'--_Manchester Guardian._ 'We are very glad to welcome an edition of Professor Wellhausen's "Sketch of the History of Israel and Judah" in a convenient and handy form. This is the first time it has appeared in a separate form. It is already known to students; it ought now to become popular. It is based on the learned author's studies in Hebrew literature and history, and, though not controversial in form, it differs totally from orthodox presentations of the subject.'--_Westminster Review._ 'A sketch which has created such widespread and profound interest as this could not be kept in the pages of a voluminous encyclopædia. Wellhausen's words necessarily have exceptional importance, even in the esteem of those who differ from him _toto coelo_.'--_Baptist Magazine._ 'The profound scholarship of the author does not elevate his writing above the interest of the general reader, and a vivid idea of the involved Jewish history is obtainable from this volume.'--_Christian Advocate._ LONDON: ADAM & CHARLES BLACK, SOHO SQUARE. _Demy 8vo., boards, price 3s. 6d. net._ A CLASSIFICATION OF VERTEBRATA, RECENT AND EXTINCT. With Diagnoses and Definitions, a Chapter on Geographical Distribution, and an Etymological Index. By HANS GADOW, M.A., PH.D., F.R.S., STRICKLAND CURATOR AND LECTURER ON ZOOLOGY TO THE UNIVERSITY, CAMBRIDGE. 'At the end of his work Dr. Gadow adds a useful chapter on the geographical distribution of the Vertebrata, with a table showing the approximate number of the known recent species. He also gives a fanciful though striking calculation to show how some groups are still in the ascendant, while others are distinctly declining. The little volume is indeed a welcome addition to the biological student's library, and it deserves the wide circulation which its author's eminence is likely to ensure for it.'--_Natural Science._ 'It is a book, it need hardly be said, for the student; it is simply a list of the principal sub-divisions of backboned animals, with just as much definition as is needed. It may be regarded as an exceedingly concentrated extract of a full text-book of the vertebrates.'--_Daily Chronicle._ _Demy 8vo., cloth, price 21s._ IN NORTHERN SPAIN. By Dr. HANS GADOW, M.A., PH.D., F.R.S. _Containing Map and 89 Illustrations._ 'Some years back "Wild Spain," one of the best books of its kind, made you desirous of knowing more of the country. And Hans Gadow has deepened this feeling in his excellent volume "In Northern Spain," and that to an enormous extent. Dwelling at inn or farm, or in their own tent, they saw the country as it has been seen but rarely, and they came to know the inhabitants as they can be known in no other fashion.'--_Black and White._
