At the same time, Dr. RIGG brings evidence to shew that all WESLEY'S divergences were rendered necessary, either by the direct and imperative demands of the Evangelical work in which he was engaged, or by the proscription and persecution which he and his followers had to endure from the clergy of the Established Church. He shews, further, that if the Bishops had been willing a century ago, or even twenty years later, to meet WESLEY's views as to incorporating Methodism and ordaining a due proportion of the Methodist preachers, Methodism might not improbably have been kept within the jurisdiction of the Church of England; but now Methodism, at home and abroad, including the United States, has grown to be a greater and more powerful organisation than the Church of England with its dependencies and correlatives, and reunion is altogether impossible. The position which, without legislation and by natural development, has now come to be occupied by Wesleyan Methodism, is that of independence without enmity.

Transition; or, the Passing Away of Ages or Dispensations, Modes of Biblical Interpretation, and Churches: being an Illustration of the Doctrine of Development. By the Rev. AUGUSTUS CLISSOLD, M.A. 8vo. PP. 276, price Gs. cloth. [November 2, 1868. THE question proposed in this volume is, whe

as

ther the CHURCH exists from the WORD, or the WORD from the CHURCH; and the discussion of this problem leads to a survey of the relations between the two from the first to the final Dispensation. With the aid of the science of language and of religion, as the result of modern discoveries, and the revival of the ancient science of correspondence, light is thrown upon the primeval state of mankind; upon the Word it was then revealed; upon the origin of language and of mythology; the succession of ages down to the time of MOSES; the origin of sacrifice and of the Mosaic ritual. Next follows an inquiry into the mode of Biblical interpretation peculiar to each Dispensation, and its successive transition. The Christian Dispensation began with a development of new spiritual truths; but the development has been arrested, and the Church has fallen again into the merely natural state. Hence the progress of the principles of SPINOZA, COMTE, and in general of modern criticism. Hence also the decline of the divine authority of the Scriptures and the increase of scepticism and infidelity. It was, however, maintained by ancient writers, that in such a state of the Church, which they predicted, a new light would be thrown upon the Scriptures. The volume concludes with an argu

ment upon the indefectibility of the Catholic Church, the defectibility of particular churches, the reformation of theology, and the commencement of a New Age. The work is written in the form of an address to the Society for Printing and Publishing the Writings of EMANUEL SWEDENBORG.

R. BOLTON CORNEY'S edition of GOLDSMITH'S Poems appeared originally in the year 1845. Its most noticeable point, besides a very careful collation of the text with the early editions and a strictly chronological arrangement of the pieces (which GOLDSMITH himself never edited collectively), was a series of ILLUSTRATIONS, about forty in number, engraved on wood in the best manner from original designs by C. W. COPE, A.R.A. THOMAS CRESWICK, A.R.A. J. C. HORSLEY, R. REDGRAVE, A.R.A. and FREDERICK The TAYLER, Members of the Etching Club. book was immediately successful. The illustrations, the landscapes which illustrate the Traveller and the Deserted Village no less than the vignettes with figures interspersed amongst the lyrical and miscellaneous poems, were generally admired; and the original edition has been many years out of print. The present volume is a slightly reduced facsimile of that edition, at about onethird of its price; uniform in size with the recently published miniature editions of Lord MACAULAY'S Lays of Ancient Rome illustrated by GEORGE SCHARF, and MOORE's Irish Melodies illustrated by D.

[November 21, 1868.

R. PERKINS'S volumes on Tuscan Sculptors (1865, Two Volumes, imperial 8vo. price 638.) formed the first instalment of a work designed to accomplish for Italian Sculpture the task which has been long since achieved by many writers for Italian painting. That portion of the work was confined mainly to the Schools of Tuscany, although a general survey was taken of the condition of sculpture among the Etruscans, Romans, and Early Christians, down to the thirteenth century, the period of the revival of Italian Art. When those remarks were written,

it was still a matter of uncertainty whether the present volume would ever be published; but an apology is scarcely needed for the slight degree in which old ground has been necessarily traversed again in a volume which completes the survey of Italian Sculpture in Apulia, Naples, Rome, Lombardy, Venice, Verona, Bologna, Ferrara, and all other places where any works deserving of notice are to be found.

To this volume is appended an APPENDIX containing some additional matter, corrected dates, and four plates engraved for M. CHARLES HAUSSOULLIER'S French Translation of the Author's work on Tuscan Sculptors.

The ILLUSTRATIONS are given, as in the former volumes, with the special intention of enabling the reader to understand the differences in sentiment, technical excellence or inferiority, between the various Artists from whose works they are taken a most important point (it will hardly be disputed) in any literary work which aims at conveying an idea of what has been actually done in any phase of Art, "but one which in book illustrations is not invariably kept in view.

The Comparative Anatomy and Physiology of the Vertebrate Animals. By RICHARD OWEN, D.C.L. F.R.S. &c. Superintendent of the Natural History Departments, British Museum. VOL. III. Mammalia, including Man; pp. 928, with 614 Woodcuts. 8vo. price 31s. 6d. cloth. [November 26, 1868.

THIS

HIS volume concludes the Anatomy and Physiology of the Vertebrate Animals;' and with the previously published treatise on the 'Invertebrata,' by the same Author (Second Edition, 1855), completes his account of the organisation of the animal kingdom. They include a condensed summary of the subjects of the 'Hunterian Lectures on Comparative Anatomy and Physiology,' delivered by the Author before the Royal College of Surgeons of England, in the years 1836 to 1855 inclusive, with results of subsequent researches. In the concluding volume, the first chapter (twenty-seventh of the entire work) gives the characteristics and chief modifications of the muscular system of the class Mammalia; the illustrative figures are from the Ornithorhynchus, phalanger, mole, hedgehog, ant-eater, horse, ox, gorilla, and human subject. In sections 200 and 201, the differences are described and illustrated in detail between the muscular structures of the GORILLA's scansorial fore-foot and hand-like hind-foot, and those of the perfect hand and perfect foot of MAN; the facial muscles of expression peculiarly developed in, and characteristic of, the human subject, are also fully illustrated.

In section 202 (Locomotion of Mammals), the arrangements exemplifying the levers of the 'first, second,' and 'third' kinds in mammalian joints are described and figured. The mechanics of mammalian locomotion, in water and on land, are treated of, definitions being given of the 'paces' of the horse, with illustrations of the anatomy of its foot. CHAPTER XXVIII is devoted to the Nervous System of Mammalia, and, amongst other illustrations, contains seventy-four figures of the convolutions and other outward characters and of the internal structure of the brain. This chapter terminates with an account of the organs of the senses, touch,' 'taste,' * smell,' 'hearing,' and 'sight,' in the mammalian class. CHAPTER XXIX is devoted to the Dental System, and the Homologies of the Teeth;

CHAPTER XXX to the Alimentary Canal and its appendages, the salivary, pancreatic, and biliary organs of Mammalia. Then follows the account of the Absorbent and Circulating Systems, with the anatomy of the ductless glands and vascular ganglions, viz. spleen, thyroid, thymus, and adrenals, to which the pituitary and pineal glands of the brain bear some analogy. These subjects occupy two Chapters (XXXI and XXXII) of the third volume. The Respiratory System and the Organs of Voice are treated of in CHAPTER XXXIII, in which upwards of twenty modifications of the mammalian larynx are figured. CHAPTER XXXIV includes the Urinary System; CHAPTER XXXV the Tegumentary System and appendages, including 'Ca!losities,' the various kinds of hair and wool, spines, scales, claws, hoofs, and horns. The phenomena of the periodical growth and shedding of the antlers of the Fallow and Red Deer are given in detail with figures. The 'peculiar glands,' classified according to their position in the body, have so many modifications in the mammalian class as to occupy an entire chapter. The Generative System is treated of in detail. CHAPTER XXXVII describes the Male and Female Organs, the modifications of which form the subjects of upwards of fifty figures. The account of the leading modifications, or steps, in the concentrative development of the mammalian womb are accompanied by illustrations of corresponding malformations or arrests of development of that in the human subject.

The generative products and developments of the Mammalia form the subjects of CHAPTER XXXVIII. It treats of the formation and structure of the mammalian ovum, of its impregnation, of the development of the foetus, and its accessory parts and membranes in the Monotremata, Marsupialia, Lissencephala, Mutilata, Ungulata, Carnivora, Quadrumuna, and the Human Subject; the text being accompanied by fifty woodcuts. The development and progressive definition, in the embryo, of the male and female generative organs are fully illustrated. CHAPTER XXXIX gives the comparative anatomy of the mammary organs and of the marsupial pouches, and concludes with an account of the adipose system, its chemical composition, modifications, and uses in the economy of the mammalian class. The final CHAPTER (XL) commences with a reference to the subjects discussed by CUVIER and GEOFFROY SAINT-HILAIRE before the French Academy of Sciences in 1830, when the Author was prosecuting his studies at the Jardin des Plantes, and briefly nar ates the results of his subsequent labours, having reference to the questions-1. Unity of Plan or Final Purpose, as the governing condition of organic development?

3.

2. Succession of Species, broken or linked? Extinction of Species, cataclysmal or regulated? 4. How works the derivatory law? 5. Development, by 'epigenesis' or 'evolution'? 6. Primary Life, by miracle or secondary law? The responses thereto, which the Author has been led to record, conclude this Treatise on Vertebrate Anatomy and Physiology.

The THIRD VOLUME consists of 928 pages of letterpress, illustrated by 614 wood engravings; the number of such ILLUSTRATIONS in the entire work is 1,472, excluding the Table of Strata and Order of Appearance of Vertebrate Life upon the Earth. Facility of use of the Anatomy of Vertebrates,' as a work of reference, has been the aim of the Author in the preliminary Systematic Index' of Contents to each Volume, to which are added, in this concluding volume, a general Zoological Index,' having reference to the pages of each volume in which the anatomy and physiology of 'Species,' or such characters of the several groups of Vertebrata, from 'Subkingdom' to 'Genus,' are described; and, finally, a full Alphabetical INDEX. To the third, as to each of the two preceding volumes, is appended a list of the works, monographs, and memoirs, to which reference is made, by Roman Numerals in the text.

from literary and scientific journals, on I. the fertilization of orchids (being a review of Mr. DARWIN'S work on that subject); II. Marriages of consanguinity; III. Recent researches on the production of the lowest forms of animal and vegetable life; and IV.

N this Third Edition the work has again been IN subjected to a thorough revision, involving numerous amendments both in matter and style. The sketch of the NERVOUS SYSTEM, and the Physiological references generally, have been compared with the statements given in the newest works. The Reflex Actions, illustrating the Will, by contrast and by resemblance, are more fully and systematically discussed.

In the INTELLECT, the fundamental conditions both of Retentiveness and of Similarity have been set forth with greater precision, whereby clearness is gained in following out the details of those great leading functions.

The value of the work is enhanced by an account of the Psychology of ARISTOTLE, which has been contributed by Mr. GROTE. The chief significance of ARISTOTLE's views, at the present day, lies in his recognising in an almost unqualified manner the double-sidedness of the mental states.

Clinical Lectures on Diseases of the Liver, Jaundice, and Abdominal Dropsy. By CHARLES MURCHISON, M.D. F.R.S. Fellow of the Royal, College of Physicians; Physician to the Middlesex Hospital; Lecturer on the Practice of Medicine at the Middlesex Hospital Medical College; and formerly on the Medical Staff of H.M.'s Indian Army in Bengal and Burmah. Pp. 578, with 25 Wood Engravings. Post 8vo. price 10s. 6d. cloth. [September 21, 1868.

THESE Lectures were originally delivered to the students of the Middlesex Hospital. It is hoped that their publication in the present form may be useful not merely to those for whom they were originally intended, but likewise to other members of the Medical Profession.

B

It is not their object to set forth a complete account of the diseases of which they treat, but rather to put prominently forward the leading characters on which the diagnosis of these diseases mainly depends, and, in particular, to determine the diagnostic import of those signs and symptoms-such as enlargement of the liver, jaundice, dropsy, and pain-which are common to many different hepatic disorders, but the precise cause of which is too often unrecognised.

The original descriptions have in many instances been elucidated by the introduction of diagrammatic representations of physical diagnosis. With the third Lecture has been incorporated a portion of the matter contained in an essay on The Dangers, Diagnosis, and Treatment of Hydatid Tumours of the Liver,' which was published in the Edinburgh Medical Journal for December 1865; and to the last Lecture have been added the results of an inquiry into the pathological consequences of gall-stones commenced many years ago, and part of which appeared in a memoir on abdominal fistulæ, published in the Edinburgh Medical Journal for July and August 1857. To all of the lectures has been appended a history not only of those cases on which each lecture was originally founded, but of others which have occurred subsequently and been the subject of clinical remarks in the wards of the Hospital.

On Chronic Bronchitis, especially as connected with Gout, Emphysema, and Diseases of the Heart. By E. HEADLAM GREENHOW, M.D. Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians, Consulting Physician to the Western General Dispensary, Senior Assistant-Physician to the Middlesex Hospital. 8vo. pp. 260, price 78. 6d. cloth. [December, 1868.

THE purpose of this volume is to demonstrate

the frequently constitutional character of Chronic Bronchitis, and its intimate association with many other diseases, in the relation either of cause or of consequence.

In the earlier lectures the Author has endeavoured to shew, from the results of a large analysis of cases, and also from the history of many individual cases, in how small a proportion of bronchitic patients the liability to suffer from Chronic Bronchitis can be traced exclusively to catarrh, and in how large a proportion it can be referred to catarrh only in connection with one of three internal predisposing causes; namely, long-standing mechanical irritation of the bronchial membrane; some form of Dyscrasia; or previous illness of some other kind. The Gouty Dyscrasia is shewn to be, of all others, perhaps

the most fruitful source of Chronic Bronchitis. The fifth and sixth lectures deal with the subject of Pulmonary Emphysema; shewing, from an analysis of cases, and also from detailed cases, that Emphysema is frequently hereditary; that it is frequently found in connection with the Gouty Dyscrasia; and, lastly, that it is not unfrequently developed, in these circumstances, previous to the existence of Chronic Bronchitis. These facts, in the Author's opinion, prove the mainly constitutional character of Pulmonary Emphysema, and lead to the further conclusion that the degeneration of the tissue of the lungs which predisposes them to yield to mechanical causes of distension, in coughing or otherwise, is often a result of the Gouty Dyscrasia. In the seventh and eighth lectures, the relations between Bronchitis and Diseases of the Heart are fully considered. Bronchitis is shewn to be a frequent sequel of disease of the left side of the heart; whilst it is, on the other hand, itself a direct cause of disease of the right side of the heart.

The practical conclusion suggested by the work is that the first step towards the successful treatment of Chronic Bronchitis must be the discovery and, in so far as may be possible, the removal, or alleviation, of the internal condition which, in so many cases, is the remote cause of the patient's ailment.

A Practical Treatise on Metallurgy; adapted from the last German Edition of Professor KERL'S 'Metallurgy,' by WILLIAM CROOKES, F.R.S. &c. and ERNST RÖHRIG, Ph.D. M.E. (In Two Volumes.) VOL. I. comprising Lead, Silver, Zinc, Cadmium, Tin, Mercury, Bismuth, Antimony, Nickel, Arsenic, Gold, Platinum, and Sulphur; illustrated with 207 Wood Engravings. 8vo. pp. 792, price 31s. 6d. cloth. [October 12, 1868.

THE original German Work, of which the present

treatise is an adaptation, is justly considered the standard work on the subject. It doubtless owes its reputation to the clearness with which all metallurgical processes are explained, to the great number of examples given, to its numerous useful diagrams, and to the valuable references it furnishes on all subjects to which it relates. These references, in fact, embrace almost the whole of the current literature on the subject.

Professor KERL wrote his treatise partly to serve as a text book to his lectures on metallurgy. As the editors of the English adaptation intended it more especially to be an assistance to practical metallurgists in those countries where English is spoken, enabling them to compare home operations with those carried on in other countries, they
