ALICE BRAND. A Romance of the Capital. By A. G. Riddle. 12mo. Cloth. Price, $1.75.

"Mr. Riddle may congratulate himself upon having written a good, if not a great novel. Its prime merit is its truthfulness as a representation of life. It is written with vigor rather than elegance, and in places is marked by extraordinary dramatic power."-Boston Literary World.

HEREDITY: A Psychological Study of its Phenomena, Laws, Causes, and Consequences. By THÉODORE RIBOT, author of "Contemporary English Psychology." 12mo. Cloth. Price, $1.75.

"We wish that our space would allow us to give in some detail the serried masses of facts with which the author illustrates each general assertion. We can only commend the book as a simple and valuable contribution to the most important of modern problems."-Philadelphia Times.

"M. Ribot has treated the tremendous question of Heredity in the work before us with great amplitude and minuteness."-Chicago Tribune.

Vol. V. Aboriginal History and Migrations: Index to the Entire Work.

These five volumes form a magnificent panorama of the multitude of nations inhabiting this vast domain at the time of its conquest, and before the people were demoralized by foreign civilization. Now they are gone, and all that is known of them is here collected where it may be forever preserved. Here is pictured their condition; here their customs and characteristics are described: here their story is told. All their strange ways and doings; their inner life and outer forms; their weird beliefs, and Babel tongues, and mighty monuments; their wanderings to and fro and the history of their past are here related with vividness and correctness unexampled in the early history of mankind.

"A storehouse of facts, gathered with admirable industry and care, and arranged with skill and judgment."-North American Review.

"He has been an antiquarian society, an archæological society, and an historical and genealogical society, all in one."-Boston Journal.

"I am amazed at the extent and minuteness of your researches.”—William Cullen Bryant. "It is a production of almost incredible labor, of excellent management, and admirable execu tion, everywhere betraying the union of quiet enthusiasm and sound judgment."-N. Y. Tribune.
