SEND FOR OUR ILLUSTRATED CATALOGUE, free LEE AND SHEPARD = Publishers BOSTON = THE Studies of Childhood. By JAMES SULLY, M.A., LL.D., Professor of Philosophy of Mind and Logic, University College, London; author of "Outlines of Psychology," "The Human Mind," etc. 8vo, cloth, $2.50. Prof. James Sully's delightful Studies of Childhood, some of which have appeared in the Popular Science Monthly during the past year, are now issued in book form. They make an ideal popular scientific book. Written by a psychologist, whose other works have won him a high position, these studies proceed on sound scientific lines in accounting for the mental manifestations of children, yet they require the reader to follow no laborious train of reasoning, and the reader who is in search of entertainment merely will find it in the quaint sayings and doings with which the volume abounds. Criminal Sociology. By ENRICO FERRI, Professor of Criminal Law, Deputy in the Italian Parliament, etc. A new volume in the Criminology Series, edited by W. DOUGLAS MORRISON. 12mo, cloth, $1.50. In this volume, Professor Ferri, a distinguished member of the Italian Parliament, deals with the conditions which produce the criminal population, and with the methods by which this anti-social section of the community may be diminished. His view is that the true remedy against crime is to remove individual defects and social disadvantages where it is possible to remove them. shows that punishment has comparatively little effect in this direction, and is apt to divert attention from the true remedy-the individual and social amelioration of the population as a whole. The Story of the Solar He By GEORGE F. CHAMBERS, F.R.A.S., author of "The Story of the Stars," etc. Library of Useful Stories. Illustrated. 16mo, cloth, 40 cents. A concise but comprehensive handbook of most interesting popular scientific information. Old Faiths and New Facts. By WILLIAM W. KINSLEY, author of Views on Vexed Questions." 12mo, cloth, $1.50. In this timely, forcible, and important book the author aims to show how far facts, brought to light by modern scientific research, modify, and how far confirm, the time-honored faiths of Christendom. He applies the new tests to those three most vital questions of the hour: Does prayer avail? Was Christ divine? Is man immortal? These general subjects, with the many questions which they include, are discussed in an entirely modern spirit, with a freshness and range of knowledge which render the book instructive, stimulating, and immediately valuable. The Sun. By C. A. Young, Ph.D., LL.D., Professor of Astronomy in Princeton University. New and revised edition, with numerous illustrations. Volume 34. International Scientific Series. 12mo, cloth, $2.00. Since the original publication of this book, in 1881, great advances have been made in our knowledge of the sun; and although, in subsequent editions, notes and appendices have kept the work fairly up to date, the author has deemed it best to thoroughly revise it, embodying the notes in the text, and rewriting certain portions. This edition is therefore representative of the solar science of to-day, including important spectroscopic discoveries which have been made during the revision. The Lost Stradivarius. By J. M. FALKNER. No. 185, Town and Country Library. 12mo, paper, 50 cents; cloth, $1.00. 18 No more original, striking, and dramatic story has appeared for a long time.
