SIXTY-FOURTH CRITICAL BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE

HISTORY AND PHILOSOPHY OF SCIENCE AND OF THE HISTORY OF CIVILIZATION

(TO JUNE 1943)

THE latest Critical Bibliography to appear was the sixty-third which was published in Isis (34, 238- 86, 1943), but two bibliographies, nos. 58 and 59, are thus far unavailable to the majority of our readers because of the German invasion of Bel- gium. The bibliography no. 59 has actually been published in Isis (vol. 31, 491-608, April 1940), but only nine copies of the issue containing it (no. 84 of Isis completing vol. 31) have reached America.

This sixty-fourth bibliography contains about 800 items. They have been kindly contributed by the six following scholars belonging to three different countries:

C. W. ADAMS (Hertford, England) M. F. A. MONTAGU (Narberth, Pa.) J. PELSENEER (Brussels) G. SARTON (Cambridge, Mass.) M. E. WEEKS (Lawrence, Kansas) C. ZIRKLE (Philadelphia)

The notes of this bibliography are based on an autopsy of the original books or articles, except in a few cases when various secondary notes relative to the same item confirm one another completely.

The sections dealing with the nineteenth century are especially full, as I have liquidated as much as I could of my stock of notes concerning them. I have in my drawers a large number of notes which will be published as soon as it has been possible to check them upon the originals or otherwise.

The historical classification (Part II) contains a new section, (IV), "The New World and Africa," divided into three subsections: (a) America, (b) Oceania, (c) Africa. (These subsections have not been numbered, in order not to disturb the numbering of sections of Part III.)

I entreat the authors of relevant books and papers to send me copies of them as promptly as possible, in order that their studies may be regis- tered in this bibliography and eventually reviewed and discussed. By so doing they will not simply help me and every other historian of science, but they will help themselves in the best manner, for they will obtain for their work the most valuable publicity and its certain incorporation into the literature of the subject.

Most of the notes were selected by me. They

were typed by Miss FRANCES SIEGEL, and the typing and proofs read by Dr. A. POGO.

This is a very valuable commentary on siira 18 dealing with the Seven Sleepers, and on sfira 4,156, which the prophet wrote under the influence of the Julianists and aphtharodocetai or with the purpose of winning them to his side. Though the Prophet did not succeed in winning over all the Christians of the Arab lands, it is certain that Monophysitism facilitated the triumph of Islam. G.S.

It is pleasant to witness the continuation of the Corpus Platonicum medii aevi by the Warburg Institute, under the leadership of RAYMOND KLIBANSKY. The first volume of the Plato latinus, a mediaeval translation of the Meno, edited by KLIBANSKY appeared in 1940 (Isis 33, 86). The first volume of the Plato arabus, Galeini compendium Ti- maei, is being printed in Beirut. This volume 2 contains a new text of AL-FARAsI edited from a single Aya Sofya ms., no. 4833. The text was imperfectly known through the Hebrew abbreviation in the Reshit hokmah of SHEM-TOB BEN JOSEPH IBN FALAQUERA (XIII-2). This was edited by MORITZ DAVID: Schemtobs Propadeutik der Wissenschaften (xii+92 p., Berlin 1902), an edition which I failed to register in my Introd. (2, 877). The Arabic text has been edited and annotated with great care and translated into Latin, the complete title reading "De Platonis philisophia et de eius partibus et de eius partium ordine a principio ad finem." It would perhaps have been more convenient to print the Arabic and Latin text on opposite pages. G.S.

First published in 1653 in Madrid, the Ordculo Manual was the work of a Spanish Jesuit priest, BALTHASAR GRA- CIAN (1601-1658). The present translation from the Spanish is the best of the English translations, and was first published in London in 1892. The translator, Mr. JOSEPH JA- COBS, has admirably rendered the "this-worldly" spirit of the original, and he has provided an excellent introduction and notes of considerable value, together with a biblio- graphical appendix.

The English title of the work well describes the character of the three hundred aphorisms of which it is comprised. It is a sort of Jesuit's "How to Win Friends and Influence People," steering a course between Catholic "thesis" and papal "hypothesis," but for all that containing much real wisdom, and well worth reading and reflecting upon. SCHO- PENHAUER thought highly enough of the work to translate it into German, and there have been diplomatists who have recommended it highly. In its first American edition, which is delightfully produced, it should deservedly enjoy a new lease on life, though there is hardly anything in it that our present State Department does not already know.

GEORGE CHEYNE (1671-1743), physician trained in Edin- burgh who practised in London and Bath, is well known by many publications on diet and natural theology. A few years ago, MULLETT edited his letters to the Countess of HUNTINGDON, 1730-39 (Huntington Library, San Marino, Calif. 1940); we now owe him a careful edition of his letters to the novelist, SAMUEL RICHARDSON (1689-1761). These letters are very largely medical and may help us to reconstruct the medical milieu of those days; RICHARDSON must have attached some importance to them, for he caused them to be copied in a bound volume (Univ. of Edinburgh, Laing MSS III, 356). There are 87 letters in all, dated 1734 to 1743. CHEYNE recommended a moderate diet and vegetarianism. As he himself reached the patholog- ical weight of 476 lbs., (p. 76), one wonders how he could inspire as much confidence in his patients as he apparently did. Among his writings is a treatise on fluxions, Fluxionum methodus inversa (London 1703), which involved him in a debate with no less a person than ABRAHAM DE MOIVRE (Isis, 8, 671-84). The book is well edited, but the lack of an index is deplorable. G.S.

Brief account including no novelties but pleasantly written. Says the blurb: "This book tells an amazing story; how a scientist born 230 years ago arrived at a theory of the inner constitution of matter, which in recent years has been found to be in agreement with the latest discoveries of leading scientists. The Theory of ROGER BoscovicH contained the basic element of the modem conception of atomic structure. He introduced the notion of the variation of length of a measuring rod which is an essential part of the theory of relativity. An application of his theory to radiation affords a clue to the solution of one of the major problems of physics-the reconciliation of the "wave" and "particle" aspects of light and other forms of radiant energy." Father BoscOVICH'S masterpiece was the Theoria philosophiae naturalis redacta ad unicam legem virium in natura existentium, first printed in Vienna 1758, then again in Venice 1763. A Latin-English edition was edited by JAMES MARK CHILD and published by the Open Court Co. (Chicago 1922). G.S.

These two volumes have finally reached Isis in a round- about way via Buenos Aires. They contain materials which are not entirely new, but were not yet known as well as they deserved to be. When SCHEELE died in 1786, the great physicist, J. C. WILCKE (Isis, 25, 227), who was then sec- retary of the Swedish Academy, asked the widow to com- municate to him the MSS left by the illustrious chemist. This was done and the MSS have remained ever since in the archives of the Academy. A transcription was made for A. E. NORDENSKIOLD, who used these documents in his biography of SCHIEELE (Stockholm 1892). However, that transcription made by a non-chemist contained many errors. Thanks to OSEEN'S zeal we are now given a new transcription which is as good as possible, plus excellent photographs of the originals. We now have SCHEELE'S scientific notes during twenty-two years of his life, and it will be possible to date his discoveries and appreciate more correctly his character. Dr. OSEEN might have done that but left the task to others, realizing its great difficulty; he should at least have added an index. In a melancholy preface dated 'Stockholm in June of the war year 1942' he remarks that modem war is so destructive that no document is safe anywhere unless it be photographed in many copies distributed in various parts of the world. SCHEELE was one of the most illustrious Swedish scientists and Sweden has taken good care of his fame. The deep interest taken by Swedish men in the history of science is admirable

Boorstin, Daniel J. The mysterious science of the law. An essay on BLACKSTONE'S Commentaries, showing how BLACKSTONE employing eighteenth century ideas of science, religion, history, aesthetics, and philosophy made of the law at once a conservative and a mysterious science. xviii+257 p., frontispiece, pls. Cambridge, Harvard University Press, 1941 ($3.00).

This is a most attractively conceived and written book. Sir WILLIAm BLACKSTON's Commentaries on the Laws of England (1765) represents the most important attempt in Western civilization to reduce to short and rational form the complex legal institutions of an entire society. This work had, and continues to have, a tremendous influence upon English and American legal thought; not only upon legal thought, but upon social thought in general. In the



434 XVIIIth (2) to XIXth (1)

Commentaries BLACKSTONE provided the reasons and justi- fications for the laws of England. Mr. BOORSTIN critically examines the nature of many of these reasons in the light of modern knowledge, and shows, as HOBBES had earlier remarked, that when reason is against a man, a man will be against reason. Or, to quote from Mr. BOORSTIN, who quotes from BENJAMIN FRANKLIN, "So convenient a thing it is to be a reasonable creature, since it enables one to find or make a reason for every thing one has a mind to do." BLACKSTONE was writing for English gentlemen of eighteenth-century England, and for them he had to be an eminently reasonable creature. It is most diverting and instructive to follow Mr. BOoRSTIN in his spading over of the earth of BLACKSTONE'S thought and to see how full of sterilities, and artificia;l components, it really was. But it was even fuller of a great many good things. Mr. BOORSTIN gives these their proper place. The book is delightfully and pointedly illustrated, there are ample notes, and an index.

This volume by Dr. ARNE HOLMBERG, head librarian of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, is a worthy supplement to the great collection of Berzelius correspondence edited and annotated by the late Dr. H. G. SODERBAUM. In 1914 Dr. S6DERBAUM published the Berzelius-Marcet correspondence (vol. 1, part 3) consisting of forty-one letters written by BERZELIUS and forty-five by Dr. ALEX- ANDRE MARCET. The new supplement contains four additional letters from BERZELIUS to MARCET which Dr. HOLM- BERG purchased in 1938 for the library of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.

In 1919 Dr. SODERBAUM published three letters from BERZELIUS to THtOPHILE-JULES PELOUZE and three from PELOUZE to BERZELIUS (vol. 3, part 2). A collection of twentv-two letters which BERZELIUS wrote to PELOUZE between the years 1833 and 1847 has been discovered in recent years and is preserved in the archives of the In- stitut de France. Using photographic copies of these letters, Dr. HOLMBERG has edited and published all of them, except one which had previously been published elsewhere. He has included, in addition, twenty-seven letters from PELOUZE to BERZELIUS, which belong to the library of the Royal Academy of Sciences of Sweden, and a portrait of PELOUZE.

In 1922 Dr. SODERBAUM published (as part 2 of volume 4) seventy-nine letters of BERZELIUS to the Swedish chemist, Assessor JOHAN GOTTLIEB GAHN. Four additional letters of BERZELIUS to GARN are included in Dr. HOLM- BERG'S supplement. This volume, like the others, is edited and annotated in a scholarly manner. The letters to GAHN are in Swedish; the others, in French. M.E.W.

This is a major contribution to the study of CHARLES WILKES (1798-1877) and his Antarctic discoveries. We are the more pleased to draw our readers' attention to it, because a long review by L. McK. GOULD (Isis, 32, 214- 18) of WILLIAJ HERBERT HOBBS: The discoveries of Ant- artica within the American sector (Trans. Am. Philos. Soc., 31, 1939) failed to appear an account of the German invasion of Belgium. HASKELL'S work is up to the fine standards of WILBERFORCE EAEs and of the New York Public Library. The main parts are the introduction (28 p.), then the meticulous list of works relating to the expedition and its results; general works, controversy regarding WILKES' discovery of the Antarctic Continent, scientific studies based on the expedition's collections and researches, manuscripts.

An address delivered at the Rafinesque Centennial Cele- bration at Lexington, Ky. The author cites several newly discovered manuscripts which shed considerable light on the incredible CONSTANTINE SAMUEL RAFINESQUE (1783- 1840). No novelist, only nature could have invented such a character as RAFINE8QUE. He was a careless and often superficial worker, a genuine scientist with real ability and a touch of genius, a collectnr and explorer, a fascinating lecturer on "knowledge," materia medica, the human mind, medical botany, phrenology, natural sciences, etc. He seemed to his contemporaries to be a burlesque on a scientist. When he died serious botanists were relieved. The ironic anti-climax: the International Rules of Botanical Nomenclature have validated so many of his species that taxonomists must study his work whether they want to or not. Two of his books have recently been reissued in facsimile. CZ.

In the present report of the excavation of 600 graves at Olynthus, in Macedonia, during the years 1931, 1934, and 1938, Professor RoBINSON has given us what is, as far as I am aware, the first treatise on the burial customs of the Greeks of the Classical period, for these graves belong to the period from the sixth century to 348 B. C. In an appendix, MR. JOHN LAWRENCE ANGELL gives a very competent account of the few crania which could be successfully studied, concluding that "the study of these ancient Olyn- thians and other Greeks shows at least that the first civilization of Europe was achieved by a highly mongrel, much mixed and subtly blended people." This conclusion is not a whit less important for being expected.

This valuable work is fully documented and illustrated, and Professor RoBINsoN provides a catalogue raisonn' of all the graves and many of their contents, as well as a discussion of the possible significance of many of the articles associated with the interments. Nearly sixty of the graves were of individuals who had been cremated, and over eighty per cent of these would appear to have been women.

"The Index of Middle English Terse completes the work begun by CARLETON BROWN in the Register of Middle English Religious and Didactic Terse, published in 1916 and 1920. In the spring of 1937, I discussed with Dr. BROWN a concordance of the secular verse which he had purposefully omitted from the Register; he immediately suggested a collaborative effort to include additional religious poems unearthed in the preceding seventeen years. We took the opportunity provided by the new project for a complete re-examination of MSS and catalogues to index all poems written in English before 1500 (still the most convenient date for the inevitable terminus ad quem)." There are 4365 entries distributed in over 2,000 MSS. The vast majority of these MSS are in Great Britain, only 5% in the United States. Appendix III contains a list of MSS in private possession; App. IV, a tabular view of Dominical and Ferial Gospels in the Northern Homily Cycle; App. V, a list of the texts represented by 8 or more MSS.

Gordon, Cyrus H. The living past. The why and how of archaeology as seen through the mounds of Western Asia. 232 p., illus. New York, Day, 1941 ($2.50).

Excellent introduction to archaeological research, very well informed and yet very simple and readable. The author

explains the development of archaeological methods (p. 60 f.) and the archaeologist's main difficulties, gives admirable examples of the glyptic art, etc. In a chapter on magic he discusses the Aramaic incantations; the earliest of them is that of Uruk (now in the Louvre); this is the only known Aramaic text written in cuneiform. A part of the conclusion may be quoted (p. 219): "That the past lives in us will remain true, come what may. It is the study and awareness of the past that hang in the balance. We live in an age when men are divided more dangerously than ever before into hostile camps, as if there were no common ground on which all humanity could meet. This common ground is the respect for, and study of, the humanities.

,Culture and history unite not only the citizens of one land but nation with nation. The Americas and Europe have in common the traditions of Zion, Athens, and Rome. In repudiating these three basic sources of our culture (and our universities are among the offenders!) we are under- mining one of the greatest hopes of the Occident. By putting a ridiculously high premium on 'the present moment in our own back yard' we are destroying the basis for international harmony. I should even go a step farther than those who plead for the conventional classics: Since we live in a world with 400,000,000 people in China, with 350,000,000 in India, and with many other millions of non- Occidental origin, it is only a broad humanistic approach that can ever provide the world with an awareness of the universal humanity that unites all men." This is the very plea which the Editor of Isis has often repeated, but alas! few scholars understand it yet as fully as they should.

This is the third book entitled "the living past" to be reviewed in thirty years. The first was F. S. MARVIN'S (1913; Isis 2, 425), the second JOHN C. MERRIAM'S (1930; Isis 14, 456-58). The purpose of the three authors is essentially the same but they are concerned with different stretches of the infinite past: MARVIN with the historical past of Western culture, GORDON with the prehistoric an- tiquities of Western Asia, MERRIAM with the geological past.

"The wide distribution of manuscripts and inscriptions in the Sogdian language has led to the theory that the Sogdians were a numerous people inhabiting all of Trans- oxania. An examination of Arabic sources reveals that Sughd was a limited area on the Zarafshan river valley. The fact that Sughd was the most fertile and wealthiest section of Transoxania under the caliphs, serves to explain the widespread commercial and colonizing activity of this small, but active group of people."

This may be called a philosophical introduction to the knowledge of that vast part of the world called India. Hin- duism and Buddhism are treated separately and according to the same method: for Hinduism, The Myth, The Way of Works, The Social Order; for Buddhism, The Myth, The Doctrine; the myth being itihasa, "the penultimate truth of which all experience is the temporal reflection." Says the author: "The more superficially one studies Buddhism, the more it seems to differ from the Brahmanism in which it originated; the more profound our study, the more difficult it becomes to distinguish Buddhism from Brahmanism, or to say in what respects, if any, Buddhism is really un- orthodox. The outstanding distinction lies in the fact that Buddhist doctrine is propounded by an apparently historical founder, understood to have lived and taught in the sixth century B. C. Beyond this there are only broad dis- tinctions of emphasis." G.S.

"Mr. SowERBY was born in T'ai-yuan Fu, the capital of Shansi, July 8, 1885, the son of British missionaries and the descendant of a family of artists and scientists promi- nent in London in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. One of the most famous members of this family, JAMES SOWERBY, illustrated and published the thirty-six- volume English Botany by Sir JAMES EDWARD SMITH, usualry referred to as "Sowerby's Botany" and recognized as the standard work on the subject. Mr. SowERBY studied at the Chefoo School in China and at the Modern School, the Bath Art School and Technical School, and Bristol University in England." "Intending to be an artist, he shifted to zoology at Bristol. Without completing his course, however, he went to sea in a cattle boat, roughed it in Canada as cowboy and laborer, and returned to T'ai- yuan Fu in 1905. It was then that his career as a naturalist began. He arranged two natural history museums and un- dertook several collecting expeditions in Shansi, Shensi, Kansu, and the Ordos Desert. After leaving Lan-chou Fu, capital of Kansu, with the expedition led by ROBERT STERLING CLARK of New York, his companion, HAZRAT ALI, was murdered by hostile Chinese. Despite this narrow escape he continued other explorations with the aid of Mr. CLARK, the specimens he collected going to the United States National Museum in Washington." "In 1923, with the help of Miss C. S. MOISE, now his wife, Mr. SOWERBY founded what is now The China Journal, and for fifteen years he served as its editor, becoming then its general manager." His book is divided as follows: 1. Nature in Chinese art; 2. Birds; 3. Animals; 4. The Chinese lion; 5. Domestic animals; 6. Reptiles, fishes, and invertebrates; 7. Flora; 8.

Henning, W. B. An astronomical chapter of the Bundahishn. Jourrnal of the Royal Asiatic So- ciety, 22948, 1942.

Though the Bundakishn was listed in my Introduction under XII-2 (vol. 2, 396), because it was completed c. 1178; as it was largely a compilation of earlier elements of various ages, it is perhaps wiser to discuss it under the heading Iran. 'The second chapter, like few other sections of the book, allows us a glimpse of the structure and com- position of the Bundahishn which are already sufficiently indicated by its correct title, Zandigiihih, i. e., exposition of information provided by the Pahlavi version of the dvesta. It is an original work on cosmology in which the scattered teachings of the dvesta were co-ordinated and brought into a system by an author who, living presumably towards the end of the Sassanian epoch, possessed an encyclopaedic knowledge of the Avestic literature." "The astronomical contents of the second chapter facilitate the analysis of the sources at the disposal of the author. His main source with its nearly prehistoric views (sun and moon farther distant from the earth than the stars; size and velocity of the stars; planets unknown, etc.) is clearly pre- Achaemenian. After contact with the Babylonians the ecliptic, the zodiacal signs, the planets, etc., became known. Acquaintance with Greek science, energetically promoted by SHAPUR I, brought more modern ideas (e. g., stellar magnitudes, exact data for the elongation of the planets, etc.). The division of the ecliptic into "lunar mansions" was introduced probably as late as A. D. 500. The most ancient views stand beside quite modem opinions. There is no doubt that the author of the Bundahishn knew per- fectly well that the moon is nearer to the earth than the fixed stars; to say so, however, against the authority of scripture, would have branded him as a heretic."

"HAROLD INGRAmS is another link in the long chain of those who have identified themselves with Arabia. In his case, it all began with the Arab dhows which, manned in many instances by men of the Hadhramaut, brought their wares to Zanzibar and stimulated his desires and ambition. In them he sailed many parts of the Indian ocean, visited South Arabia, and finally was left at Mukalla as resident and adviser to the Sultans of the Kathiri and Qu'aiti. There he became in turn traveller, statesman, diplomat, and the culmination of his work was the signing of a treaty by all tribes of the Hadhramaut whereby peace and se- curity were brought to the trade routes. But the book is no mere chronicle of events. It is a first-hand dramatic unfolding of constructive and progressive work, of the eventful journeyings and happenings which made this achievement possible."

"The value of this study of a functioning Maya calendar needs no stressing. A number of its features, such as the association of Year Bearers with world-direction crosses, the misfortunes of the five days at the end of the year, and the 13-year period, are archaeological fossils never before reported among living Maya. Others, such as the lengthy prayers, complement the description of the Jacal- teca calendar by LA FARGE and BYERS. Before Dr. LINCOLN started his ethnological work among the Ixil, it was not even known that a 260-day count functioned among them, let alone a series of uinals. Many of these features are disappearing so rapidly that had they not been recorded now, they might well have been irretrievably lost by the time some other ethnologist eventually was free to study the Ixil."

During the last few years the plant lore of a number of primitivc peoples has been investigated intensively in an attempt to discover plants of medicinal value. As recently as 1938, it was discovered that Fatsia horrida contained a hypoglycoenine substance useful for the treatment of dia- betes. This plant had long been used for this purpose by the Indians of British Columbia. This paper by Prof. SPECK et al. is a survey of the medicinal plants used by

the remnant of the Rappahannock Indians who live in King and Queen and Essex Counties of tidewater Virginia.

The flora of this region is not particularly varied and consists of about 500 species, yet the Indians use 84 species (17%o of the whole) in their pharmacopoeia. Sixty percent of the herbs used by the Indians really have some medicinal properties and they employ forty-one percent beneficially due to their correct understanding of these properties. Only twenty percent of the Indians' remedies are now used in modem medicine, the remainder having been replaced by chemicals or more efficient herbs. Obviously the Indians do not do badly with what they have. C.Z.

"The West African society dealt with in this book is half a million strong. It is far from being either 'simple' or 'primitive.' Its social and economic complexity is com- parable only with the civilization of Imperial Rome, By- zantium, or Medieval Europe. But very few historical records exist; the people of Nupe have not yet risen to the stage of education which can produce written records of important events or institutions. The present book is a piece of pioneer work, the result of two years in the field, spent in the course of two expeditions, one in 1934, the other 1935-6." The author was able to complete this in- vestigation because of his great talent as an anthropologist and his linguistic genius. Within six months he was capable of speaking not only the lingua franca (Hausa) which he had studied before but also the very difficult 'five-tone' language of the Nupe. Appendix discusses the Nupe calendar. G.S.

Its final paragraph reads: "Twelve years ago, when the last section in the first edition of this book was written, it appeared that the greatest danger to science was the growth of such movements as popular anti-evolutionary "fundamentalism" in the United States. That was an entire mis-reading of the future. Since the rise of Nazi power in Germany, the freedom of science to pursue the open search for knowledge, like other forms of freedom, has, in that country and in other lands under its control, been destroyed by a rampant nationalism, which banishes men like EIN- STEIN and HABER from prejudice of race, and uses applied science and all other activities to further first secret military preparation and then open predatory warfare. The remaining free nations are forced in self-defence to devote themselves to counter-measures, thus absorbing the efforts which, in happier days, might have revealed more and more of the secrets of nature, and raised the standard of life for all mankind." This is. I believe, the best one-volume history of science available to-day. G.S.

"Applying to an analysis of logic the methods of semantics explained and systematically developed in the preceding volume [see Isis, 34, 229], this book raises the question whether modern symbolic logic has actually reached its aim of a full formalization as most logicians now seem to believe. In other words, do the formal systems of logic which are generally accepted today actually represent a full formalization of the logic of meaning as an inter- pretative system? To this question Dr. CARNAP gives a negative answer. Positively, he constructs a new logical calculus, which represents such a full formalization, with the help of new concepts not used by earlier systems. That the formalization is complete is shown by proving that for this calculus no other interpretation than the normal one, i. e., the one in terms of the accepted logic of meaning, is possible. The book is not meant for beginners in logic; it presupposes a knowledge of the material in the preceding volume and some knowledge of the elements of symbolic logic."

In the light of this historical development one may say that, of the four ther- mometric systems now widely used, two-those of FAHREN- HEIT and CELSIUs-were established by the method of two fixed points, whereas the others-those of REAUMUR and KELVIN-were inspired by the principle of a single natural fixed point."

It is not enough to speak as a biologist, for man is a great deal more than a biological function, and to speak of him as a whole, as one should, one must know a great deal more than the biologist generally knows.

There is no aspect of the subject of vertebrate vision which the author does not cover, and his numerous original illustrations- many of them valuable contributions in themselves- greatly assist the reader to an understanding of the means by which the eye performs its remarkably delicate functions. The book is, in short, one of which both author and publishers can justly be proud, for it is admirably conceived and written, and tastefully printed. There is a considerable amount of information incorporated in the work which represents the author's distillation of his own researches on the comparative anatomy and physiology of the vertebrate eye, hence students of the subject should be doubly attracted to this volume. Again, in short, if anyone ever wishes to know anything about the origin, evolution, and development of the eye, and the manner in which eyes in different animals function, this is the book to go to. There is a good bibliography and an excellent index and glossary. M.F.A.M.

The greater part of the work is devoted to an exposition of the principles of genetics, the remainder of the book presenting the argu- ments-in the light of that exposition and added data- against the racist viewpoint. The book is a valuable addition to the growing body of literature which, it is to be hoped, will eventually serve to bring about the widest possible dissemination of the scientifically established facts concerning the nature of "race."

"The Harvard Irish Survey, inaugurated and directed by Prof. E. A. HOoroN, was a five-year research programme investigating the physical anthropology, the sociology, and the archaeology of Ireland." . . . . "The Stone Age excavations were directed by Dr. H. L. Movius, and the present volume is his report and observations on the results of that work. It embodies a consideration of Late-Glacial and Early Post-Glacial chronology in Ireland, Great Britain, and Scandinavia, a study of the natural environment of Stone Age man in Ireland, and comprehensive treatment of the results of excavations of six sites."

The self-enforcing "thou-shalt-nots" which anthropolo- gists describe by the noun "taboo," are in this volume exhaustively presented and discussed by Dr. HUrrON WVEB- STER. The taboos dealt with are those which are, or were, to be found in preliterate societies. Dr. WEBSTER has mar- shaled the evidence in considerable detail, and has thus filled an important gap in the literature of cultural anthropology. Detailed references and notes follow each chapter, and there is a good index. M.F.A.M.

Malin, James C. JOHN BROWN and the legend of fifty-six. xii+794 p. (Memoirs of the American Philosophical Society, vol. 17). Philadelphia, American Philosophical Society, 1942 ($5.00).

'This book, by a well known American historian, is a critical study of the problem of the JOHN BROWN legend, one of the major folk stories of the American people. It is therefore not a biography of JOHN BROWN but a pene- trating analysis of old and new historical evidence throwing a brilliant searchlight on BROWN'S charactcr and his role in the anti-slavery movement. It has its origins largely in the Kansas troubles of 1856 which contributed so much to the national folklore associated with the name of JOHN BROWN." MALIN'S work is a major contribution to the fundamental problems: How are legends created, how do they grow? G.S.

Mowat, R. B.; Slosson, Preston. History of the English-speaking peoples. xi+577 p. New York, Oxford University Press, 1943 ($4.00).

This admirable book deserves to be widely read on both sides of the Atlantic and by English-speaking peoples everywhere. Appropriately enough, written by an English- man and American, by the late Professor R. B. MOWAT and by Professor PRESTONF SLOSSON, the book serves to illuminate for each of them the history and relations of the peoples embraced under the term "English-speaking." As such the book not only represents a contribution towards mutual understanding, but it also represents a real, though somewhat-even necessarily--generalized, integration of the history of these peoples. It is extremely readable, fas- cinatingly interesting, and vastly informative. The many original maps included in the volume constitute a valuable feature of a book which cannot be too highly recommended. There is an excellent annotated bibliography, and a full index. M.F.A.M.

Prunieres, Henry. A new history of music. In-

troduction by Romain Rolland. xv+413 p. New York, The Macmillan Co., 1943 ($5.00).

Translated from the French and edited by EDWARD LocKSPEISER, M. PRUNIEiREs history of music begins with the Middle Ages and ends with MOZART in the eighteenth century. The fact that this is the first comprehensive history of its sort written by a Frenchman lends the work an added interest, for the French viewpoint has not been prominently represented in the musical historiography and criticism of this century.

M. PRUNIERE has spent a lifetime in the study of his subject, and his mastery of it is reflected in the ease with which he writes, and which, thanks to his translator, carries through in the translation, for while scholarly and learned this is a delightfully readable book, which will be appre- ciated by the amateur and the student alike. Much original research is incorporated in the text, and there are 143 musical examples. There is a bibliography of 17 pages and a good index. M.F.A.M.

"Taboo and its concepts have played an important part in the growing of language. We have sought to indicate the effect of primitive thought on such phenomena as euphemisms, words of self-contradictory meanings, the plural of majesty, the 'polite' modes of address and figures of speech generally. We thus hope to have indicated part of the profound debt that modern man owes his primitive ancestors."

Mack, Edward C. Public schools and British opinion since 1860. xii+5 11 p. New York, Columbia University Press, 1941 ($3.75).

Subtitled "The relationship between contemporary ideas and the evolution of an English institution," this is an excellent anthropological study of the relationship between the English public school and the making of English upper class opinion. Thoroughly impartial, attractively and knowl- edgeably written. Mr. MACK helps us to see realistically, objectively, and clearly why so many men in high places in England behave as they do. We have heard a great deal about "the old school tie." Here is a scholarly analysis of it which could hardly be bettered. M.F.A.M.

Sherbon, Florence Brown. The child. Second edition. xx+755 p. New York, McGraw-Hill Book Co., 1941 ($3.50).

This is unqualifiedly the best book which the physician could recommend to anyone in the least interested in the child. The whole field of the growth and development of the child is dealt with in a masterly, authoritative, and readable manner, and what is most important, in a very practical style. The book will be found most useful by the intelligent mother, and the father who wishes to be a good parent. There are 188 illustrations, excellent bibliographies, and a full index. As a text for a course for future parents this book could not be bettered; it is to be highly recommended. M.F.A.M.
