    recalled many happy hours spent in most enjoyable company , they are very precious to him / We are pretty well acquainted with this form of explanation for the appearance of a book .

    , Coast of Brittany . It is the merry style of the story that gives it a life which , we hope—as , no doubt * A Country Doctor' does—will last for some time to come . The book is one

    which ... certainl , • i y will 'tt well ti reward -i perusal . Professor Robert Hartmann , of the University of Berlin , is the writer of volume

    fiftythree of the International Scientific Series . The volume is devoted to Antbropoid Apes . It is a work which will gladly be welcomed by naturalistsand it has the further advantage of

    being written in language which is comprehensible to those , who , without making a regular study of sciencefind pleasure in searching the sources of knowledge which are shown to them

    by intelligible , guides , willing to set aside for the nonce the heavy burden of professorial ¦¦ " •— ¦ language i ^ - . Anthropoid — apes have — — been ¦ - — — — known ¦— to mankind — — from — — very . earl _ . y timesfand

    coHSidered t and a comparison is made with the human structure . A chapter is given to the varieties in the form of Anthropoids : and others to the geographical distribution , habits in a state of natureand native names of Anthropoids ; their life in captivityand their position in

    , , the zoological system . The work is made more valuable by a well-prepared summary , an appendix , and a full index .

    Captain George Bayly has given us a work full of incident under the title Sea Xdfe Sixty Tears Ago , which is a record of the adventures . that led to . the discovery of the relics of the

    long missing expedition commanded by the Comte de la Pe ' rouse . * About sixty years ago , ' Captain Bayly remarks , * in the performance of my duty as trading officer of the St . Patrick ,

    captain Peter Dillon , at the island of Tucopia it was my hap to purchase the silver guard of La Perouse ' s own sword . This furnished a clue which was followed up until the search undertaken was crowned with success . ' From a romantic point of view sixty years ago is a sort of

    heroic age in ocean roving , when the white swelling canvas carried the buoyant craft over the bounding waves , and ironclads and smoke-funnels were unknown . Every reader will thank .

    Uaptam Bayly for his narrative , which forms very stirring and agreeable reading . [ Vide page 1394 , and Illustrations 4 , 5 .
