SCIENCE.ways, as it does also the works of Friedrich Mulller and Whitney.There is no chapter in language-study which is not fruitfullyhinted at or fully treated by the author: the composing of gram-mars, the analytic coinpared with the synthetic system, the variousphonetic modes of recording languages, the medley languages,theory of roots, the tests of affinity, the possibility of composingscientific dictionaries, the analysis which is inherent in etymologicresearch, synonymic dictionaries, etc.- Dr. Andrew D. White will open the March Popular Science

Monthly withi a chapter on " Astronomy ' in his Warfare of Sci-ence series. The strenuous exertions made by both the Catholicand the Protestant clergy to suppress the teachings of Copernicusand Galileo are set forth in this article with such strong evidenceas to admit of no denial or shifting of responsibility. " The Or-gan " will be the subject of the article in the American Industriesseries. The author, Mr. Daniel Spillane, describes some of the

97noted instruments in the Unite] States, an] shows that Americanorgan builders have made good use of the scope for individualitywhich their art allows. The article is fully illustrated. Underthe title " Social Statistics of Cities," the Marchl number will havea paper by Carroll D. Wright, comparing the area andl population,and the cost of each department of public works, in fifty cities ofthe United States. The comparison contradicts some prevailingopinions as to what cities have the most expensive governments." The Cotton Industry of Brazil" will he descrioedi by John C.Branner, formerly assistant geologiAt of the Brazilian GeologicalSurvey. Mr. Branner believes that the production and manufac-ture of cotton in Brazil is destined to increase, but that the coun-

try will not become a competitor of the United States in this indus-try.- Darwin after Darwin," is the title of a book that George

RACES AND PEOPLES,By DANIEL G. BRINTON, M.D.

"The book is good, thoroughly good, and wrill longremain the.best accessible eilementary ethnographyin our language."-The Christian Union."We strongly recommend Dr. Brinton's .,Races

and Peoples'I to both beginnlers and scholars. Weare not aware of any other recent workr on thescience of which it treats in the English language."-Asiatic Quarterly.

"4His book is an exceelent one, and we can heartilyrecommend it as an introductorwy mauual of ethnllo-ogY."-The M-onist."A useful and really interesting work, wvhich de-

serves to be widely read and studied both in Europeand America."-Brighton (Eng.) Herald.

IIThisvolume is most stimulating. It is writtenwith great cleamness, so that anybody can under-stand, and while in some ways, perforce, superficial,grasp very well thXe complete field of humanity."1-The Nlew York Times.

'*Dr. Brinton invests his scientific illustrations andmeasurements with an indescribable charm of nar-ration, sO that 'Races and -Peoples,' avowedly a rec-ord of discovered fSacts, is in reality a strong stim-ulant to the imagination."-Philadelphia PuzblicLedger." the work is indispensable to the student who re-

quires an intelligent gide to a course of ethno-graphic reading."-.Phi adelphia Times.

An introduction to public cousideration,from a non-medical point of view, of a con-dition of ill-health which is increasinglyprevalent in all ranks of society. In thefirst part of this work the author dwells onthe errors in our mode of treating Neuras-thenia, consequent on the wide ignorance ofthe subject which still prevails; iu the sec-ond part, attention is drawn to the principalcauses of the malady. The allegory formingthe Introduction to Part I. gives a brief his-tory of ner'Vous exhaustion and the modes oftreatment which have at various times beenthought suitable to this most painful and try-ing disease.
