“The work has many merits, but in our opinion its most distinctive feature is the careful analysis of social and religious life in Germany on the eve of the Protestant revolt. On the strength of first-hand knowledge, excellent arrangement, and thoughtfulness, this book deserves the most respectful attention. It is well adapted for use in the senior grades of university teaching.”

Linville, Henry R., and Kelly, Henry A. Text-book in general zoology. *$1.50. Ginn.
A text-book for the educational public with suggestions for laboratory work. The volume is intended for high-school or elementary college classes and the inductive method is used with each class and phylum of invertebrate animals. In the first chapter after the remainder of the Arthropoda are described the other invertebrate phyla follow in a descending series, ending with Protozoa. Then, beginning with the fishes, the order ascends to the mammals and closes with man. There are 233 illustrations.
“It has many original points, and deserves recommendation as one of the very best books yet published in this line. Every high school and biological laboratory should have reference copies, even tho some other book is already adopted as the regular text-book in zoology.”
