"They have been handsomely printed in one thin volume. The author, Judge Force, is the son of the late Peter Force, of Washington City, the compiler of the 'American Archives.' He is a sound thinker and careful recorder of his thoughts, and whatever he may submit to the scattering hand of the press, is sure to be worthy of consideration. The three papers, properly brought together, are rich in suggestions of topics for profound thought and investigation."

[From the Louisville Courier-Journal.]

. .

"These essays evince more than ordinary range of culture, and a very considerable ability to think, and to think clearly and logically, and are written with evident care and in an attractive, forcible style."

[From Dr. Lyman C. Draper.]

"General Force's essay on the Mound Builders evinces great care and study in its preparation, and well deserves to be placed side by side with those of Foster, Jones, Atwater, Squier, and Davis."

[From Col. Chas. Whittlesey.]

"Judge Force has performed a very acceptable work, which will save archæologists a large amount of labor, by presenting a clear and thorough view of what is known of the Mound Builders of the United States. His 'Darwinism and Deity' is a full, fair, and critical abstract of present opinions on those subjects."

"There runs all through the volume a continuous vein of geniality, and, at times, of positive humor, a sympathy with all the persons and places visited, yet an eye to the ludicrous, and an apt suggestion of scholarship just at the right time and place. The pervading style is neat and graphic. We have not, for a long time. met with any work of this class which was really more enjoyable."

[From the Christian Instructor.]

·Having passed over much of the ground, and mingled in the very scenes described, we take great pleasure in commending the correctness. of its general descriptions, and having made use of letters written on the spot and at the time, there is a special freshhess and zest about the work. Dr. Burt evidently possesses a genial nature, and has the admirable talent of being able to travel in all sorts of ways, and among all sorts of people, without continually finding fault and distressing his readers with complaints."

[From the Pittsburgh Commercial.]

"A book of extraordinary interest and ability. We know of no work giving so much instruction and entertainment in the same number of pages. It should be in every family and Sunday-school library."

[From the New York Observer.]

"The amount of information embodied, and the graceful, easy, and spiritual way in which it is imparted, make the book a valuable addition to our stock of travel's.'"

[From the Nation.]

"We do not remember a Nile tourist who exhibits more plainly, or more feelingly, that intimacy with the sky which must result from the monotony of the river scenery. The colors of morning and evening are noted, if not with warmth, at least with apparent precision, which, perhaps, is to be said of all Dr. Burt's descriptions. He is also the first, so far as we know, to set down the music of the boatmen of the Nile, which has been often alluded to, and sometimes in comparison with the blacks of the sea islands."

R. BOYLAND'S SIX MONTHS WITH THE FRENCH

DR.

ARMY. Six Months under the Red Cross, with the French Army. By George Halstead Boyland, M. D. ExChirurgien de l'Armée Francaise. 12mo, pp. 232. Cloth. $1 50

[From the Atlantic Monthly.]

"Dr. Boyland has had the fortune to write a book of the rarest kind in literature; a book with apparently no more literary premeditation than Pepy's Diary or Benvenuto Cellini's Autobiography, and having a simplicity, straightforwardness, and business-like clearness that refreshes the jaded critical sense at every moment. He sets down his surgical experience with an exactness that we imagine must commend his reminiscences to his profession; but his value to us is the vigor with which he gives the conditions of this experience, from the time he leaves Paris, amidst the arrogant enthusiasm of the French army and people, till after the long seige of Metz and the capitulation of the starved garrison, he rides into the Prussian lines at Versailles. It would be unjust to his book to leave the reader with the impression that it is merely a series of sketches, however powerful. It is not only a careful record of surgical experience, but a comment full of instruction upon the management of the French army, especially at Metz, where Dr. Boyland shared the common suspicion of Bazaine.”

[From the Saturday Review, London.]

"Dr. Boyland's narrative is well worth perusal on many accounts. It not only gives a lively sketch of the perils and privations encountered in such a service, and of the horrors of the battle-fields around Metz, and relates a variety of striking anecdotes concerning that memorable campaign, but it bears testimony to the disorders which prevailed both in the military and the hospital service, and contributes new evidence to the general mass of proof which has been steadily accumulating since the close of the war of the indiscipline and almost anarchy which prevailed in the imperial army after its first defeats."

[From the Nation.]

"Major Boyland, engaged for the war as assistant surgeon-major in the First French ambulance. His diary, as here given, has all the marks of truthfulness and candor, and has a positive value as a contribution to the history of the Franco-Prussian conflict."

[From the Boston Journal.]

"It is a narrative of experiences during the Franco-Prussian war, and its descriptions of the scenes and incidents of that great contest are given with the simplicity and directness which are the natural result of personal observation. Many of the details here given are fresh and interesting."

ILLIAMS ON THE EAR. Diseases of the Ear, includ. ing the necessary Anatomy of the Organ. Illustrated with numerous wood-cuts, and one lithograph. By A. D. Williams, M. D., of St. Louis, formerly Lecturer on Otology in the Miami Medical College. 8vo, cloth. $350

[From Lancet and Observer.]

“Dr. Williams has been somewhat familiarly known to our readers as a contributor of articles on diseases of the ear. These are incorporated in the present volume, together with a systematic outline of the anatomy of the ear structure, and its diseases and therapeutics. The book is beautifully printed and abundantly illustrated in all its details, so that the physician or student desirous of treating these diseases, heretofore so troublesome, will have in this book a good and satisfactory guide.”

[From the American Medical Journal.]

This is a very creditably gotten-up monograph by a western author. In manner of execution the book is really unique, while its brevity of description and unpretending style is certainly attractive. There is such a general want of knowledge in this important class of diseases, it will well repay a careful reading."

QUICK'S

UICK'S EDUCATIONAL REFORMERS. Essays on Educational Reformers. By Robert Herbert Quick, M. A., Trinity College, Cambridge. 12mo. Cloth. $200

CONTENTS.-Schools of the Jesuits; Ascham, Montaigne, Ratich, Milton; Comenius; Locke; Rousseau's Emile; Basidow and the Philanthropin; Pestalozzi; Jacotot; Herbert Spencer; Thoughts and Sugges. tions about Teaching Children; Some Remarks about Moral and Religious Education; Appendix.

[From John Hancock, Esq., Supt. Public Schools, Cincinnati.]

"I know of no educational work in English of equal value. No teacher who has an ambition to emancipate himself from a servile adherence to the traditional methods of teaching, can read the book without profit.

"The book is not limited to a discussion of theories of education, but on almost every page may be found most valuable suggestions on matters of practice in teaching. Indeed, I know of no work in which theory and practice are so skillfully blended."

[From Miss D. A. Lathrop, Prin. Normal School, Cincinnati.]

"I am confident that all who study it carefully will lay it aside with a deep conviction that education is not a merely empirical science, but that it has scope for, and demands the broadest and most profound philosophy of which the human mind is capable."

[From the Illinois Schoolmaster.]

'We have been better pleased with this than with any solid work on education that has been placed in our hands for the last two years. Not a page can be turned without disclosing to the teacher valuable principles of his profession. For class work in normal schools we believe it to be superior. It is seldom that we so unhesitatingly recommend the purchase of a book.”

[From the National Normal.]

"This is a readable book. There are many young teachers who desire to make themselves familiar with the past of their profession. To them, and to all our readers, we can recommend this work most heartily."

[From the Maine Journal of Education.]

"The principles which underlie all correct modes and methods of teaching, must and will be sought after by those who are determined to place themselves in the advanced line of teachers. To those who desire to have, in a brief form, the statements and works of those who have been the foremost in changing the ideas of teaching from time to time, we cheerfully recommend this work.”
