HOVELACQUE (ABEL)—
THE SCIENCE OF LANGUAGE: LINGUISTICS, PHILOLOGY, AND ETYMOLOGY. With Maps. Large crown 8vo, cloth, 5s. Being the first volume of “The Library of Contemporary Science.”
“This is a translation of the first work of a new French series of Popular Scientific Works. The high character of the series, and also its bias, may be inferred from the names of some of its writers, e.g. P. Broca, Ch. Martins, C. Vogt, &c. The English publishers announce that the present volume will be followed immediately by others on Anthropology and Biology. If they are like their precursor, they will be clear and well written, somewhat polemical, and nobly contemptuous of opponents.... The translator has done his work throughout with care and success.”—Athenæum.
JARRY (GENERAL)—
NAPIER (MAJ.-GEN. W. C. E.)—OUTPOST DUTY. Translated, with TREATISES ON MILITARY RECONNAISSANCE AND ON ROAD-MAKING. Third Edition. Crown 8vo, 5s.
KEMPIS (THOMAS À)—
ON THE IMITATION OF CHRIST. Four Books, Beautifully Illustrated Edition. Demy 8vo, 16s.
“It is illustrated with great ability—even the head and tail pieces are themselves complete pictures, suggestive, quaint, beautiful. The paper is of the best, and the printing very careful. On the whole, for a gift or for presentation, we hardly know where else to look for a book to match it. Clearly neither care nor expense has been spared in producing this tasteful but sumptuous volume.”—Nonconformist.
KLACZKO (M. JULIAN)—
