Naegeli was the first to propose the general theory of cell-formation accepted to-day. The present little brochure, which is a synopsis of his great work on evolution, will render his difficult theories accessible to English-speaking students, to whom they have hitherto been almost a sealed book.

“It is a presentation of the subject for the general reader which is masterly, clear, and entertaining. A profound subject is thoroughly grasped; a technical subject is made plain; and a complex subject is made simple. I am especially delighted with it as a book for auxiliary reading in the High Schools and Colleges of the country.”—Major J. W. Powell, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D. C.

Five colored plates. Pages, 465—x. Price, $1.75 net (9s.). Invaluable to the physician, the scientist, the student of hygiene, and practical people in all walks of life.
“It affords more ground for serious thought and reflection than perhaps any of the works on bacteriology hitherto published. The original and able manner in which the author attacks biological problems of great difficulty and complexity deserves all praise, and we can cordially recommend the book, not only to bacteriologists pure and simple, but also to those physicians who recognize the limitations of medical science.”—Nature.
