"It is an endeavour to put before the lay readers in a clear, condensed, and interesting form the main settled results of modern investigations into the science of man. Mr. Tylor's admirable little book certainly deserves the success with which it will doubtless meet."-Pall Mall Gazette.

...

"It is a most attractive and entertaining introduction to the science of anthropology. and his arrangement masterly."-Saturday Review.

MANUAL OF ANCIENT GEOGRAPHY.

KIEPERT. Crown 8vo. 5s.

His writing is clear and luminous,

From the German of Dr. H.

"Dr. Kiepert actually succeeds in making ancient geography interesting, connecting it, as he is able to do from his extensive and scholarly knowledge, with the natural features of the various countries, the movements of various races, and modern conditions. The arrangement is methodical and the treatment clear and well defined, the connection between the Old World and the New being always kept in sight. . . . Altogether the English edition of the Manual will form an indispensable companion to Kiepert's Atlas,' now used in many of our leading schools."-The Times.
