[From the American Literary Gazette and Publishers Circular.]

$1 75

"There runs all through the volume a continuous vein of geniality, and, at times, of positive humor, a sympathy with all the persons and places visited, yet an eye to the ludicrous, and an apt suggestion of scholarship just at the right time and place. The pervading style is neat and graphic. We have not, for a long time. met with any work of this class which was really more enjoyable."

[From the Christian Instructor.]

"Having passed over much of the ground, and mingled in the very scenes described, we take great pleasure in commending the correctness of its general descriptions, and having made use of letters written on the spot and at the time, there is a special freshhess and zest about the work. Dr. Burt evidently possesses a genial nature, and has the admirable talent of being able to travel in all sorts of ways, and among all sorts of people, without continually finding fault and distressing his readers with complaints."

[From the Pittsburgh Commercial.]

"A book of extraordinary interest and ability. We know of no work giving so much instruction and entertainment in the same number of pages. It should be in every family and Sunday-school library.”

[From the New York Observer..]

"The amount of information embodied, and the graceful, easy, and spiritual way in which it is imparted, make the book a valuable addition to our stock of 'travels.'"

R. BOYLAND'S SIX MONTHS WITH THE FRENCH

DR.

ARMY. Six Months under the Red Cross, with the French Army. By George Halstead Boyland, M. D. ExChirurgien de l'Armée Francaise. 12mo, pp. 232. Cloth. $1 50

[From the Atlantic Monthly.]

"Dr. Boyland has had the fortune to write a book of the rarest kind in literature; a book with apparently no more literary premeditation than Pepy's Diary or Benvenuto Cellini's Autobiography, and having a simplicity, straightforwardness, and business-like clearness that refreshes the jaded critical sense at every moment. He sets down his surgical experience with an exactness that we imagine must commend his reminiscences to his profession; but his value to us is the vigor with which he gives the conditions of this experience, from the time he leaves Paris, amidst the arrogant enthusiasm of the French army and people, till after the long seige of Metz and the capitulation of the starved garrison, he rides into the Prussian lines at Versailles. It would be unjust to his book to leave the reader with the impression that it is merely a series of sketches, however powerful. It is not only a careful record of surgical experience, but a comment full of instruction upon the management of the French army, especially at Metz, where Dr. Boyland shared the common suspicion of Bazaine."

[INOR'S CHILD-BED FEVER.-Erysipelas and Puerperal Fever; with a short account of both diseases as they prevailed sporadically in the United States during the "census year 1870," and an Appendix, containing the History of a Puerperal Fever Epidemic observed in Southwestern Ohio in the winter of 1872. By Thomas C. Minor, M.D. 8vo.

"During the past year a valuable monograph on erysipelas and childbed fever, by Dr. Thomas C. Minor, of Cincinnati, Ohio, has been published. The book is based on a most painstaking and laborious study of the vital statistics of the census of the United States for 1870, and an epidemic of puerperal fever which prevailed in Southwestern Ohio in 1872, and I think it is worthy of careful perusal by all who seek to influence medical opinion on the subject of puerperal fever."-Dr. Fordyce Barker before the Historical Society of London.

WILLIAMS ON THE EAR. Diseases of the Ear, includ ing the necessary Anatomy of the Organ. Illustrated with numerous wood-cuts, and one lithograph. By A. D. Williams, M. D., of St. Louis, formerly Lecturer on Otology in the Miami Medical College. 8vo, cloth. $350

[From Lancet and Observer.]

"Dr. Williams has been somewhat familiarly known to our readers as a contributor of articles on diseases of the ear. These are incorporated in the present volume, together with a systematic outline of the anatomy of the ear structure, and its diseases and therapeutics. The book is beautifully printed and abundantly illustrated in all its details, so that the physician or student desirous of treating these diseases, heretofore so troublesome, will have in this book a good and satisfactory guide."

[From the American Medical Journal.]

"This is a very creditably gotten-up monograph by a western author. In manner of execution the book is really unique, while its brevity of description and unpretending style is certainly attractive. . . There is such a general want of knowledge in this important class of diseases, it will well repay a careful reading."

UICK'S EDUCATIONAL REFORMERS. Essays on Educational Reformers. By Robert Herbert Quick, M. A., Trinity College, Cambridge. 12mo. Cloth. $2 00

CONTENTS.-Schools of the Jesuits; Ascham, Montaigne, Ratich, Milton; Comenius; Locke; Rousseau's Emile; Basidow and the Philanthropin; Pestalozzi; Jacotot; Herbert Spencer; Thoughts and Suggestions about Teaching Children; Some Remarks about Moral and Religious Education; Appendix.

[From John Hancock, Esq., Supt. Public Schools, Cincinnati.]

"I know of no educational work in English of equal value. No teacher who has an ambition to emancipate himself from a servile adherence to the traditional methods of teaching, can read the book without profit.

"The book is not limited to a discussion of theories of education, but on almost every page may be found most valuable suggestions on matters of practice in teaching. Indeed, I know of no work in which theory and practice are so skillfully blended."

[From Miss D. A. Lathrop, Prin. Normal School, Cincinnati.]

"I am confident that all who study it carefully will lay it aside with a deep conviction that education is not a merely empirical science, but that it has scope for, and demands the broadest and most profound philosophy of which the human mind is capable."

[From the Illinois Schoolmaster.]

"We have been better pleased with this than with any solid work on education that has been placed in our hands for the last two years. Not a page can be turned without disclosing to the teacher valuable principles of his profession. For class work in normal schools we believe it to be superior. It is seldom that we so unhesitatingly recommend the purchase of a book."

[From the National Normal.]

"This is a readable book. . There are many young teachers who desire to make themselves familiar with the past of their profession. To them, and to all our readers, we can recommend this work most heartily."

[From the Maine Journal of Education.]

"The principles which underlie all correct modes and methods of teaching, must and will be sought after by those who are determined to place themselves in the advanced line of teachers. To those who desire to have, in a brief form, the statements and works of those who have been the foremost in changing the ideas of teaching from time to time, we cheerfully recommend this work.”

[From the College Courant.]

"The essays are finely written, in classic English, and in the true professional spirit of an experienced and accomplished teacher.”

[From the Literary World.]

"This book supplies information that, so far as we know, is contained in no other single volume, touching the progress of education in its earliest stages after the revival of learning. It is the work of a practical teacher, who supplements his sketches of famous educationalists with some well-considered observations, that deserve the attention of all who are interested in that subject."

believe the work well fitted to do a good work in irrigating the desert wastes, which too often appear in the minds of teachers."

[From the Chicago Teacher.]

"It is the most catholic, readable, and valuable work on matters educational that has yet been published. For the honor of our craft, teachers, do buy it, and come to know a little about the business in which you are engaged."

[From the Common School, Davenport, Iowa.]

"We are professionally under great obligations to the publishers of this work. It supplies a want we have felt for an outline of educational literature and opinions. It is an intelligent resume of some of the doctrines of modern culture, rendered interesting to the reader by its biographical plan."

[From the Massachusetts Teacher.]

"Such books are very much needed among us. If we are to have a science of pedagogy, it must be based not entirely on theory, but we must have important lessons from experience. We know of no book more suggestive and instructive on this subject "

[From Wisconsin Journal of Education.]

"The author has given us a mass of facts and philosophy in education such as we believe can nowhere else be found, either in like compass or in similar style. . . The book deserves and will receive a wide circulation among the better class of teachers-those who sincerely desire to be intelligent and efficient workers in their profession."

[From Ohio Educational Monthly.]

The work is one of the most valuable contributions to pedagogical literature in English, and it will be welcomed by hundreds of thinking teachers who desire to know what the great educational writers of the past have said on the subject now under vigerous discussion. All interested in the improvements of method of elementary teaching, will find this book a rich mine of information.
