History of Geography
By
J. Scott Keltie, LL.D.
Secretary of the Royal Geographical Society
and
O. J. R. Howarth, M.A.
Assistant Secretary of the British Association for the Advancement of
Science
__No. 11 in “History of the Sciences”__
_16º. Illustrated. 75 cents net_
This is not a history of geographical exploration, though the leading
episodes in the advance of our knowledge of the face of the Earth are
necessarily referred to in tracing the evolution of geography as a
department of science. The author hopes that in the attempt to tell the
story of the evolution of geography up to the present day, it will be
evident that it is as amenable to scientific methods as any other
department of human knowledge, and that it performs important functions
which are untouched by any other line of research.
The
Science of Happiness
By Jean Finot
Author of “Problem of the Sexes,” etc.
Translated from the French by Mary J. Safford
_8º. $1.75 net_
The author considers a subject, the solution of which offers more
enticement to the well-wisher of the race than the gold of the Incas did
to the treasure-seekers of Spain, who themselves doubtless looked upon
the coveted yellow metal, however mistakenly, as a key to the happiness
which all are trying to find. “Amid the noisy tumult of life, amid the
dissonance that divides man from man,” remarks M. Finot, “the Science of
Happiness tries to discover the divine link which binds humanity to
happiness through the soul and through the union of souls.” The author
considers the nature of happiness and the means of its attainment, as
well as many allied questions.
