MANCHESTER UNIVERSITY PUBLICATIONS.
ANATOMICAL SERIES.
No. I. STUDIES IN ANATOMY from the Anatomical Department of the
University of Manchester. Vol. iii. Edited by ALFRED H. YOUNG, M.B.
(Edin.), F.R.C.S., Professor of Anatomy. Demy 8vo, pp. ix, 289, 23
plates. 10s. net. (Publication No. 10, 1906.)
"All the papers contained in the volume are real additions to the
knowledge of the subject with which they deal. For three of the studies
Prof. Young is either in part or wholly responsible, and he is to be
congratulated on the vigour shown by the Manchester School of
Anatomists."--_Nature_.
"This work affords admirable evidence of the virility of our younger
British Universities. It is a notable addition to an already notable
series."--_Medical Review_.
"This forms the third volume of the Studies in Anatomy issued by the
Council, and contains contributions of considerable interest. The volume
is well printed and bound. It speaks well for the activity of
investigation at Manchester."--_Lancet_.
"The volume is well got up and is evidence of the continuation of the
excellent work which has been carried on for so long a period, under
Professor A. H. Young's supervision, and has been encouraged and
stimulated by his own work."--_British Medical Journal_.
"Throughout the papers, careful research and accurate observation are
manifested, and they will repay careful perusal. To the Anatomist,
as well as the practical physician or surgeon, they will prove
valuable."--_Edinburgh Medical Journal_.
CELTIC SERIES.
No. I. AN INTRODUCTION TO EARLY WELSH. By the late Prof. J. STRACHAN,
LL.D. Demy 8vo, pp. xvi, 294. 7s. 6d. net.
(Publication No. 40, 1908.)
"The Grammar as a whole is of course a very great advance on the pioneer
work of Zeuss; Dr. Strachan had fuller and more accurate texts to work
with, and possessed a knowledge probably unsurpassed of the results of
recent progress in Celtic philology, which he himself did so much to
promote."--Professor Morris Jones in the _Manchester Guardian_.
"To Welshmen anxious to study their native tongue in a thorough and
scientific manner Dr. Strachan has here furnished an invaluable
manual."--_Aberdeen Free Press_.
"An Irishman cannot but envy the University of Manchester; long since
there should have been a University for Celtic Ireland, rearing scholars
to work at these things that largely belong to Ireland--to her interest
and to her honour--and to produce works as solid in scholarship and as
nobly turned out in material form."--_The Freeman's Journal_.
"The work is an excellent introduction to the study of early Welsh. We
can strongly recommend it to Welsh students; it is undoubtedly a work
which no student of Celtic literature can afford to be without."--_North
Wales Guardian_.
"The work is destined, of course, to become the text-book in early Welsh
wherever taught."--_Western Mail_.
CLASSICAL SERIES.
No. I. A STUDY OF THE BACCHAE OF EURIPIDES. By G. NORWOOD, M.A.,
Assistant Lecturer in Classics. Demy 8vo, pp. xx, 188. 5s. net.
(Publication No. 31, 1908.)
"The interest of Mr. Norwood's book, which ... is a very welcome
addition to the bibliography of Euripides, and a scholarly and
interesting piece of work, displaying erudition and insight beyond the
ordinary, lies in the way in which, by applying Dr. Verrall's methods
... he first shows up difficulties and inconsistencies, some of which
have hardly been noticed before ... and then produces his own
startling theory, which he claims is the great solvent of all the
perplexities."--_Saturday Review_.
"Unless very strong evidence can be produced against Mr. Norwood's view,
it must be accepted as the true solution of the problem.... Mr. Norwood
is generally clear, and abounds in illuminating thoughts. He has added a
full bibliography (running to twenty-three pages) of writings on
Euripides, and for this every scholar will offer his sincere thanks....
He has done a very good piece of work."--_Athenæum_.
"This volume forms the first of a Classical Series projected by the
Manchester University, who are to be congratulated on having begun with
a book so original and full of interest.... It is admirably argued, and
is instinct with a sympathetic imagination. It is, at the very least, an
extremely able attempt to solve a very complex problem."--_Manchester
Guardian_.
"Mr. Norwood demonstrates on every page his scholarship and knowledge,
and gives proof of much painstaking research. The treatise is as
valuable as it is interesting."--_Manchester City News_.
"It is a most ingenious theory, and a reviewer whom it has left
unconvinced is all the more bound to give his testimony to the
consistent skill, learning, and independence of judgment with which it
is presented. The book ... strikes us as the product of vigorous and
independent thought."--_Times_.
"Mr. Norwood's learned and ingenious argument."--_Westminster Gazette_.
"Mr. Norwood's proposed solution, though novel, is extremely
plausible."--_Sheffield Daily Telegraph_.
"Lovers of Euripides may not be convinced by his subtle argument, but
they will certainly find his book suggestive and stimulating."--_Daily
News_.
"Mr. Norwood's book has even in the eyes of a sceptic the considerable
merit of stating the hypothesis in a very thoroughgoing and able manner,
and at least giving it its full chance of being believed."--Professor
Gilbert Murray in the _Nation_.
"L'interprétation de M. Norwood est certainement très ingénieuse; elle
est même très séduisante."--_Revue Critique_.
ECONOMIC SERIES.
No. I. THE LANCASHIRE COTTON INDUSTRY. By S. J. CHAPMAN, M.A., M. Com.,
Stanley Jevons Professor of Political Economy and Dean of the
Faculty of Commerce. Demy 8vo, pp. vii, 30. 7s. 6d. net.
(Publication No. 4, 1904.)
"Such a book as this ought to be, and will be, read far beyond the
bounds of the trade."--_Manchester Guardian_.
"There have been books dealing with various phases of the subject, but
no other has so ably treated it from the economic as well as from the
historical point of view."--_Manchester Courier_.
"The story of the evolution of the industry from small and insignificant
beginnings up to its present imposing proportions and highly developed
and specialised forms, is told in a way to rivet the attention of the
reader ... the book is a valuable and instructive treatise on a
fascinating yet important subject."--_Cotton Factory Times_.
"Highly valuable to all close students."--_Scotsman_.
(GARTSIDE REPORT, No. 1.)
No. II. COTTON SPINNING AND MANUFACTURING IN THE UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA. By T. W. UTTLEY, B.A., Gartside Scholar. Demy 8vo, pp. xii.
70. 1s. net. (Publication No. 8, 1905.)
"Mr. Uttley is to be congratulated on the performance of a not
altogether easy task, and his book, in conception and execution, appears
to fulfil admirably the intentions of the Trust."--_Manchester Courier_.
"The writer gives ample details concerning wages and other features
connected with typical mills ... and the information thus gathered is of
interest and value to the factory operative as well as the student and
economist."--_Cotton Factory Times_.
"Mr. Uttley describes how he visited the mills in various States in a
very systematic and detailed manner. Altogether the report makes an
admirable and welcome collection of information, and will be found on
many occasions worthy of reference."--_Textile Mercury_.
(GARTSIDE REPORT, No. 2.)
No. III. SOME MODERN CONDITIONS AND RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN IRON AND
STEEL PRODUCTION IN AMERICA, being a Report to the Gartside
Electors, on the results of a Tour in the U.S.A. By FRANK
POPPLEWELL, B.Sc., Gartside Scholar. Demy 8vo, pp. vi. 119. 1s. net.
(Publication No. 21, 1906.)
"The American methods of iron and steel production are described, from
the practical as well as the statistical side."--_Manchester Courier_.
"Mr. Popplewell writes clearly and well, and he is to be congratulated
upon having carried his task through in so entirely a satisfactory
manner."--_Manchester City News_.
"America's progress in iron and steel is more wonderful than any bald
statistics of production with which we are so familiar can indicate. How
that progress has been effected--effected under labour, transport and
other difficulties--Mr. Popplewell tells us in an interesting and keenly
intelligent review."--_Manchester Guardian_.
"A minute observation of detail ... characterises the whole
work."--_Iron and Coal Trades Review_.
"Mr. Popplewell gives a clear exposition of the results of
specialisation in production, of the development of ore-handling
machinery, and of the general use of the charging machine, features that
characterise American practice. He shows, too, that the colossal
blast-furnace with huge yield due to high-blast pressure, regardless of
consumption of steam and boiler coal, is giving place to a blast furnace
of more modest dimensions....
"The impression derived from reading Mr. Popplewell's report is that
many of the most striking developments, admirable as they are, were
designed to meet special wants, and are not necessarily applicable in
Great Britain."--_Nature_.
"The book has its interest for the educationist as well as for the
manufacturer."--_Scotsman_.
"A chapter of special interest to British consumers is one devoted to
the consideration of raw materials."--_Glasgow Herald_.
(GARTSIDE REPORT, No. 3.)
No. IV. ENGINEERING AND INDUSTRIAL CONDITIONS IN THE UNITED STATES. By
FRANK FOSTER, M.Sc., Gartside Scholar. Demy 8vo, pp. ix. 106. 1s.
net. (Publication No. 22, 1906.)
"The report under review is of very great interest to those connected
with the manufacturing branch of engineering in this country,
many of whom will have to relinquish their preconceived notions
regarding American methods, if Mr. Foster's conclusions are to be
accepted."--_Electrical Review_.
"The book altogether is very readable, and one we can heartily recommend
to all interested in the economics of engineering."--_The Practical
Engineer_.
"Mr. Foster's observation of facts is fresh and interesting ... the
technical side of his report exhibits much care."--_Manchester
Guardian_.
"The book is well worth reading."--_Iron and Coal Trades Review_.
"There is much in the book which will be new to English readers, even to
those who have studied the reports of the Moseley and other recent
'commissions.'"--_Belfast News Letter_.
No. V. THE RATING OF LAND VALUES. By J. D. CHORLTON, M.Sc. Demy 8vo,
pp. viii. 177. 3s. 6d. net. (Publication No. 23, 1907.)
"A timely and temperate treatise on a subject of growing
interest."--_Pall Mall Gazette_.
"The writer is learned, intelligent, progressive, fair and
lucid."--_Progress_.
"The facts and deductions are well put."--_Western Mail_.
"Chapters upon the scheme of the Royal Commission (minority
report)--'Building Land,' 'The Future Increase of Land Values,' 'The
Municipal Bill,' and others ... set forth with clearness and detail some
of the many interesting and difficult subjects in connection with
valuation, rates and rating."--_Estates Gazette_.
"Mr. Chorlton has made a contribution to this interesting controversy
which is worthy of the serious attention of all persons interested in
the subject."--_Local Government Chronicle_.
"The arguments for and against this proposed reform in the taxation of
land have never been more fairly and freely stated."--_Liverpool Daily
Post and Mercury_.
"Mr. Chorlton deals clearly and concisely with the whole subject of
rating and land values."--_The Standard_.
"The impartiality and candour of Mr. Chorlton's method are beyond
dispute, and his book will repay careful study by all who are interested
in the question, from whatever motive."--_Westminster Gazette_.
"The first half of this book deserves to become a classic ... is one of
the best books on a practical economic question that has appeared for
many years. It is not only scientifically valuable, but so well written
as to be interesting to a novice on the subject."--_The Nation_.
"This thoughtful and judicially expressed treatise."--_Manchester City
News_.
"A very businesslike and serviceable collection of essays and notes on
this intricate question."--_Manchester Guardian_.
(GARTSIDE REPORT, No. 4.)
No. VI. DYEING IN GERMANY AND AMERICA. By SYDNEY H. HIGGINS, M.Sc.,
Gartside Scholar. Demy 8vo, pp. xiii. 112. 1s. net.
(Publication No. 24, 1907.)
"The book will ... make a valuable addition to the technical literature
of this country."--_Tribune_.
"The work is one which ... should receive the attention of
those who desire a general view of the German and American dyeing
industries."--_Textile Manufacturer_.
"A perusal of the work leads us to the conclusion that much useful work
is being done by the Gartside scholars, which will give these young
men an excellent insight into the working conditions of various
industries."--_Textile Recorder_.
No. VII. THE HOUSING PROBLEM IN ENGLAND. By ERNEST RITSON DEWSNUP,
M.A., Professor of Railway Economics in the University of Chicago.
Demy 8vo, pp. vii. 327. 5s. net. (Publication No. 25, 1907.)
"Mr. Dewsnup's book is most valuable as it provides all essential
information on the subject."--_Standard_.
"All those who are interested in this question, no matter what their
economic predilections, may ponder with advantage Professor Dewsnup's
pages."--_Newcastle Daily Chronicle_.
"The study brings together so weighty an array of facts and arguments
that it cannot but prove instructive and suggestive to all classes of
economists interested in its subject."--_Scotsman_.
"Professor Dewsnup's view of the whole problem was stated in 1903, in a
form which won the Warburton Essay Prize at the Manchester University.
Now revised and brought up to date, his valuable work has taken
permanent form."--_Westminster Gazette_.
"Professor Dewsnup's book on the housing problem consists of three
distinct parts, each of which is a valuable contribution to economic
science. In Part I, Professor Dewsnup tries to give a clear and definite
account of the evil with which authorities in England are called upon to
cope. Avoiding all special pleading and all evidence of the sensational
kind which is apt to give a false idea of the extent and intensity of
the evil of overcrowding, he does not on the other hand fall into the
error of minimizing the evil.
"In Part II, Professor Dewsnup gives a most excellent and well-digested
summary of the legislation which has been passed by Parliament since
1851 to cope with the evils of overcrowded houses, and of overcrowded
areas.
"In Part III, the strictly informational and statistical work of the
previous parts is utilized by the author to support his own conclusions
as to the best methods of dealing with the problem of overcrowding.
"Whether or not the reader agrees with Professor Dewsnup in the
conclusions he draws from his data, every student of economics must be
grateful to him for the accuracy and care which have gone into the
collection and arrangement of his material."--_The American Political
Science Review_, vol. iii, No. 1, February, 1909.
(GARTSIDE REPORT, No. 5.)
No. VIII. AMERICAN BUSINESS ENTERPRISE. By DOUGLAS KNOOP, M.A.,
Gartside Scholar. Price 1s. 6d. net. (Publication No. 30, 1907.)
"The book is calculated to give a clear and accurate description,
essentially intended for the general reader," and the author has quite
rightly eliminated everything of a technical character, giving his theme
both the simplicity and the interest that are required.... The work
might well have been doubled in length without any loss of interest....
Invaluable as a text-book."--_The Economic Journal_.
"Should on no account be missed, for it is a very good attempt at a
survey of the enormous field of American business in the true and
judicial spirit."--_Pall Mall Gazette_.
"Readable, informing, suggestive--full of interest for men engaged in
almost every department of commercial life."--_Manchester City News_.
"A report of the general conditions of industrial work in the United
States, together with a most instructive review of the education of the
business man in their commercial universities."--_Manchester Daily
Dispatch_.
"The report is full of information, and is suggestive
throughout."--_Liverpool Post_.
"Concise, business-like and informative, it emphasises the difference
between the economic positions of England and of America, and cannot but
prove instructive to anyone interested in its subject."--_Scotsman_.
"From the point of view of an intelligent observer and collator,
trained, alert, well-informed, bringing his mind to bear on the
fundamental elements of commercial progress and success, it would be
impossible to estimate it too highly."--_Belfast Northern Whig_.

Scholar. Pp. xiv. 137. 1s. 6d. net. (Publication No. 41, 1908.)
"Concise, business-like, and furnished with some valuable papers of
statistics, the report will prove well worthy of the study of anyone
specially interested in this subject."--_Scotsman_.
"In this short book a considerable amount of useful information has
been condensed, and one feels that the research has been fully
justified."--_Birmingham Post_.
"We congratulate the author upon a very readable and painstaking
production."--_Nature_.
"... The reviewer says unhesitatingly that this Gartside Report ... is
the best all-round book on industrial electro-chemistry that has so far
come to his notice."--_Electro-chemical and Metallurgical Industry, May,
1909_.

"An instructive and suggestive volume, containing much that is likely to
be helpful to those engaged in the textile, dyeing and chemical
industries of Britain."--_Manchester City News_.
"Well informed, well systematised, and written with businesslike
precision, it deserves the attention of everyone interested in its
subject."--_Scotsman_.
"For a good general account of the chemical industry on the Continent we
think this report, so far as it goes, to be an excellent one and
is, moreover, unlike many works on the subject, interesting to
read."--_Chemical Trades Journal_.
"Clearly and intelligently handled."--_The Times_.
No. XII. UNEMPLOYMENT. By Prof. S. J. CHAPMAN, M.A., M.Com., and H. M.
HALLSWORTH, M.A., B.Sc. Demy 8vo, pp. xvi. 164. 2s. net paper, 2s.
6d. net cloth. (Publication No. 45, 1909.)
"On the whole, the authors offer a solid contribution, both as regards
facts and reasoning, to the solution of a peculiarly difficult and
pressing social problem."--_Cotton Factory Times_.
"... deserves the attention of sociologists."--_Yorkshire Post_.
"... reproduces in amplified form a valuable set of articles, giving the
results of an investigation made in Lancashire, which lately appeared in
the _Manchester Guardian_. By way of Introduction we have an
examination, not previously published, of the Report of the Poor-law
Commission on Unemployment. There is a large accompaniment of
Charts and Tables, and indeed the whole work bears the mark of
thoroughness."--_Guardian_.

Switzerland, Denmark, and France, have been contributed by other

"... gives a record of what the principal nations are doing in the
prolongation of school work. It is invaluable as a _corpus_ of material
from which to estimate the present position of the world--so far as its
analogies touch Britain--in 'further education,' as the phrase
is."--_The Outlook_.
"The most comprehensive book on continuation schools that has yet been
issued in this country."--_Scottish Review_.
"Professor Sadler has produced an admirable survey of the past history
and present condition of the problem of further education of the people
... but apart from his own contributions, the bulk of the work, and its
most valuable portion, consists of material furnished by teachers and by
organisers of schools in various parts of England and Scotland, by
officials of the Board of Education and the Board of Trade, and by local
education authorities."--_Manchester Guardian_.
"This is a book which counts. It is a worthy treatment of an
all-important subject, and he who wishes his country well must pray that
it may be read widely.... I should be glad to think that I have said
enough to send many readers post-haste to buy this invaluable
treatise."--L. J. Chiozza Money, M.P., in the _Daily News_.
"This book will for many years remain the standard authority upon its
subject."--_The Guardian_.
"It is indeed a remarkable compilation, and we hope that its circulation
and its usefulness may be commensurable with its conspicuous
merits."--_The Schoolmaster_.
"The whole question is discussed with an elaboration, an insistence on
detail, and a wisdom that mark this volume as the most important
contribution to educational effort that has yet been
made."--_Contemporary Review_.
"The subject of the work is one that goes to the very heart of national
education, and the treatise itself lays bare with a scientific but
humane hand the evils that beset our educational system, the waste of
life and national energy which that system has been unable in any
sufficient degree to check."--_The Spectator_.
"It is a treasure of facts and judicious opinions in the domain of the
history and administration of education."--_The Athenæum_.
"The volume represents an immense service to English education, and to
the future welfare and efficiency of the nation."--_Educational Times_.
No. II. THE DEMONSTRATION SCHOOLS RECORD. No. I. Being Contributions to
the Study of Education from the Department of Education in the
University of Manchester. By Professor J. J. FINDLAY. 1s. 6d. net.
(Publication No. 32, 1908.)
"This volume marks a new departure in English Educational literature....
Some very interesting work is being done and the most valuable part of
the book is the account of the detailed methods which have been employed
both in the regular teaching in the schools and in the efforts to foster
the corporate interests of the children and their parents. These methods
are often exceedingly suggestive, and may be studied with advantage by
these who do not accept all the theories upon which they are
based."--_School_.
"Professor Findlay and his skilled and experienced collaborators give an
interesting account of the uses of the demonstration classes, the nature
and scope of the work done in them, and the methods adopted (as well as
the underlying principles) in some of the courses of instruction."--_The
Athenæum_.
"The book gives an instructive account of the attempts made to correlate
the subjects of school instruction, not only with each other, but also
with the children's pursuits out of school hours.... The problem
Professor Findlay has set himself to work out in the Demonstration
School is, How far is it possible by working with the children through
successive culture epochs of the human race to form within their minds
not only a truer conception of human history, but also eventually a
deeper comprehension of the underlying purpose and oneness of all human
activities?"--_Morning Post_.

"We cordially recommend this most workmanlike, and extremely valuable
addition to pedagogic literature."--_Education_.
"Miss Dodge has much of interest to say on the limitations and defects
of history-teaching in girls' schools, but the real contribution of this
book is its revelation of how the history lesson can be made a living
thing."--_Glasgow Herald_.
"Gives a clear and detailed account of two well-organised schemes of
historical teaching in Germany."--_School World_.

M.A., D.Lit., Special Lecturer in English Literature and Tutor for
Women Students; Warden of the Hall of Residence for Women Students.
A series of brief studies dealing with the conditions amidst which the
profession of literature was pursued under Elizabeth and James I. It
treats of their relations with patrons, publishers, and reading public,
and with various authorities exercising legal control over the press;
and discusses the possibility of earning a sufficient livelihood, in
this period, by the proceeds of literary work. Pp. xii. 221. 5s. net.
(Publication No. 49, 1909.)
"... scholarly and illuminating book. It opens a new series in the
Manchester University publications, and opens it with distinction. A
more elaborately documented or more carefully indexed work need not be
desired. The subject is an engrossing one; and, although the author has
aimed rather at accuracy and completeness than at the arts of
entertainment, the result remains eminently readable."--_Manchester
Guardian_.
"A really valuable addition to the literature dealing with the
period."--_Daily Telegraph_.
"Quite interesting to the general literary reader as well as to the
special student for whom, perhaps, it is directly meant. We are always
ready to read of the Elizabethan age in authorship, and it loses none of
its attractions in Miss Sheavyn's hands."--_Daily Chronicle_.
"A series of studies that will be valuable to everyone interested in the
history of literature."--_Daily Mail_.
"She has done her work with remarkable thoroughness, and cast a strong
and searching light into many dark corners of the Elizabethan literary
world."--_Birmingham Post_.
"A close and scholarly study of an aspect of literature in a period
which amply repays investigation.... Dr. Sheavyn is a faithful
historian, with a keen sense of the human side of things, and her book
is entertaining as well as informative."--_Newcastle Daily Chronicle_.
"Is interesting and valuable."--_Daily News_.
"A notable and interesting volume.... The material has been carefully
gathered from a close scrutiny of contemporary literature and literary
gossip, and has been admirably handled throughout. There is not a dull
chapter in the book."--_The Scotsman_.

"Patient and enlightened scholarship and a sense of style and
proportion have enabled the writer to produce a work at once solid and
readable."--_English Historical Review_.
"A welcome addition to the literature of English local history, not
merely because it adds much to our knowledge of Manchester and
Lancashire, but also because it displays a scientific method of
treatment which is rare in this field of study in England."--Dr. Gross
in _American Historical Review_.
"La collection ne pouvait débuter plus significativement et plus
heureusement que par un ouvrage d'histoire du Moyen Age dû à M. Tait,

(Publication No. 5, 1904.)
"Whoever has attempted to ascertain the contents of a Mediæval
miscellany in manuscript must often have been annoyed by the occurrence
of a blank space where the title of the treatise ought to be. Mr. Little
has therefore earned the gratitude of all such persons by making public
a collection of some 6,000 incipits, which he arranged in the first
instance for his private use, in compiling a catalogue of Franciscan
MSS."--_English Historical Review_.

"Mr. Hertz gives us an elaborate historical study of the old colonial
system, which disappeared with the American Revolution.... He shows a
remarkable knowledge of contemporary literature, and his book may claim
to be a true history of popular opinion."--_Spectator_.
"Mr. Hertz's book is one which no student of imperial developments can
neglect. It is lucid, fair, thorough, and convincing."--_Glasgow
Herald_.
"Mr. Hertz's 'Old Colonial System' is based on a careful study of
contemporary documents, with the result that several points of no small
importance are put in a new light ... it is careful, honest work.... The
story which he tells has its lesson for us."--_The Times_.
"Both the ordinary reader and the academic mind will get benefit from
this well-informed and well-written book."--_Scotsman_.
"Mr. Hertz has made excellent use of contemporary literature, and has
given us a very valuable and thorough critique. The book is interesting
and very well written."--AMERICAN POLITICAL SCIENCE REVIEW.

"Mrs. Humphry Ward has used all her delicate and subtle art to
draw a picture of her beloved brother; and his friend Mr. Montague's
account of his middle life is also remarkable for its literary
excellence."--_Athenæum_.
"The memoir ... tenderly and skilfully written by the 'sister and
friend,' tells a story, which well deserved to be told, of a life rich
in aspirations, interests, and friendships, and not without its measure
of actual achievement."--_Tribune_.
"This geographical sense and his feeling for politics give colour to all
he wrote."--_Times_.
"Anyone who desires a general account of the Empire under Augustus which
is freshly and clearly written and based on wide reading will find it
here."--_Manchester Guardian_.
"Nothing could be better than the sympathetic tribute which Mrs. Humphry
Ward pays to her brother, or the analysis of his work and method by his
colleague Mr. Montague. The two together have more stuff in them than
many big books of recent biography."--_Westminster Gazette_.

"Tra mezzo ai tanti libri esteri di semplici divulgazione su fatti e
figure della storia italiana, questo emerge piacevalmente e si legge
volontieri. E diverso di carattere e di trattazione. Esume ... dalla
polvere degli archivi e delle biblioteche qualche cosa che ha un valore
fresco ed interessante, un valore storico e un valore umano."--A.A.B. in
the _Archivio Storico Italiano_.
"L'introduction se termine par toute une dissertation du plus grand
intérêt, documentée à l'aide des archives vénitiennes, sur le caractère
commercial des pèlerinages, dont les armateurs de Venise assumèrent,
jusqu'au XVIIe siècle l'entreprise."--J.B. in the _Revue de Synthèse

"Casola's narrative richly deserved the honours of print and
translation. The book is a credit to its editor and to the historical
school of Manchester University."--_Morning Leader_.
"His narrative is at once simple and dignified in style, convincing and
interesting in its pictures of the conditions governing travel by sea
and land four centuries ago."--_Daily Telegraph_.
"The book is like a gallery of mediæval paintings, full of movement and
colouring, instinct with the vitality of the time."--_Birmingham Post_.
"Miss Newett's introduction is a contribution of considerable value to
the history of European commerce."--_Spectator_.
"One of the most comprehensive of the itineraries is that now
translated, an important feature of it being its full description of the
city of Venice."--_The Times_.
"One of the most delightful narratives that record the impressions of a
pious pilgrim."--_Westminster Gazette_.
"The work which Miss Margaret Newett has probably saved from oblivion is
as intrinsically interesting as it should prove instructive to the
student of history."--_Daily News_.

carefully what the archives of Venice have to say about pilgrim ships
and shipping laws, and her pages are a mine of information on such
subjects."--Dr. Thomas Lindsay in the _Scottish Historical Review_.
"This is altogether an exceedingly well-edited book and a distinct
credit to the History School of Manchester University."--_Glasgow
Herald_.
"This is a deeply interesting record, not merely of a Syrian pilgrimage,
but of Mediterranean life and of the experiences of an intelligent
Italian gentleman at the close of the Middle Ages--two years after the
discovery of America. It would not be easy to find a more graphic
picture, in old days, of a voyage from Venice to the Levant."--_American
Historical Review_.

der Herausgeber _Festchrift_, behandeln zur Hälfte ausser-englische
Themata, benutzen reichlich festländische Literatur und verraten überall
neben weiten Ausblicken eine methodische Schulung die der dortigen
Facultät hohe Ehre macht."--Professor Liebermann in _Deutsche

"Imperial history, local history, ecclesiastical history, economic
history and the methods of historical teaching--all these are in one way
or another touched upon by scholars who have collaborated in this
volume. Men and women alike have devoted their time and pains to working
out problems of importance and often of no slight difficulty. The result
is one of which the university and city may be justly proud."--The late

subjects from the beginnings of Cæsar-worship to the detention of
Napoleon at St. Helena, and they deal with them in a thoroughgoing

l'émulation que sait exercer pour les études historiques la jeune et

"All these essays reach a high level; they avoid the besetting sin of
most of our present historical writing, which consists of serving up a
hash of what other historians have written flavoured with an original
spice of error.... They are all based on original research and written
by specialists."--Professor A. F. Pollard in the _English Historical

No. VII. STUDIES SUPPLEMENTARY TO STUBBS' CONSTITUTIONAL HISTORY. Vol.
i. By CH. PETIT-DUTAILLIS, Litt. D., rector of the University of
Grenoble. Translated from the French by W. E. RHODES, M.A., and
edited by Prof. JAMES TAIT, M.A. Pp. xiv. 152. 4s. net.
(Publication No. 38 1908.)
This work consists of the translation of the studies and notes appended
by Prof. Petit-Dutaillis to his translation into French of the first
volume of Stubbs' _Constitutional History of England_. It is believed
that they will present to English students and teachers a summary of the
results of recent historical research so far as they throw light upon or
modify the conclusions expressed thirty years ago by the late Bishop
Stubbs.
"Nowhere else can the student find brought together the modern
criticisms of Stubbs, and it is a great convenience to possess them in
this slight volume."--_Morning Post_.
"In its French dress Professor Petit-Dutaillis' book has already
received a warm welcome, and this excellent translation will furnish
English teachers and students with just the kind of guidance they
require in making use of a standard text-book which is still absolutely
indispensable, and yet needs to be corrected at some important
points."--_Glasgow Herald_.
"The volume will be virtually indispensable to teachers and students of
history."--_Athenæum_.
"This task has been carefully and well performed, under the supervision
of Professor Tait, who has written a short but adequate introduction.
This little book, ought, without delay, to be added to every public or
private library that contains a copy of the classic work to which it
forms an indispensable supplement."--Dr. W. S. McKechnie in the
_Scottish Historical Review_.
"These supplementary studies impress one as a discreet and learned
attempt to safeguard a public, which is likely to learn all that it will
know of a great subject from a single book, against the shortcomings of
that book."--Professor A. B. White in the _American Historical Review_.
"C'est un complément indispensable de l'ouvrage de Stubbs, et l'on saura
gré à l'Université de Manchester d'avoir pris l'initiative de cette
publication."--M. Charles Bémont in _Revue Historique_.
"Ce sont des modèles de critique ingénieuse et sobre, une mise au point
remarquable des questions les plus importantes traitées jadis par
Stubbs."--M. Louis Halphen in _Revue de Synthèse historique_.
"Zu der englischen Übersetzung dieser Excurse, durch einen verdienten
jüngeren Historiker, die durchaus leicht wie Originalstil fliesst, hat
Tait die Vorrede geliefert und manche Note, die noch die Literatur von
1908 berücksichtigt. Die historische Schule der Universität Manchester,
an Rührigkeit und strenger Methode von keiner in England übertroffen,
bietet mit der Veröffentlichung der werthvollen Arbeit des Franzosen ein
treffliches Lehrmittel.--Professor F. Liebermann, in _Deutsche Literatur
Zeitung_.

practically unexplored field of history ... the publishers are to be
congratulated on the admirable way in which the book has been turned
out--a joy to handle and to read."--_Manchester Guardian_.
"This interesting volume is an endeavour to show that the decline of the
Greeks as a people for several centuries before and after the Christian
era was largely due to the prevalence of malaria in its various
forms."--_Glasgow Herald_.
"[The author] ... has amassed a considerable store of valuable
information from the Greek classics and other sources which will prove
extremely useful to all who are interested in his theory."--_Birmingham

to the working library of prescribers and dispensers."--_Pharmaceutical

Dispensing.' The book is written by a pharmacist expressly for medical
students, and the author has been most happy in conceiving its scope and
arrangement."--_British Medical Journal_.

full in practical detail. It is manifestly the work of one who is a
skilled chemist, and an expert pharmacist, and who knows not only the
requirements of the modern student but the best way in which his needs
may be met."--_Medical Press_.

"This interesting and valuable contribution to the history of the
Manchester University also contains several illustrations, and forms the
first of the 'physical series' of the publications of the University of
Manchester."--_The Times_.
"A record of achievement of which no man need be ashamed."--_Westminster
Gazette_.
"It is a memorial of which any man would be justly proud, and the
University of which he is both an alumnus and a professor may well share

PUBLIC HEALTH SERIES.
No. I. ARCHIVES OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH LABORATORY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF
MANCHESTER. Edited by A. SHERIDAN DELÉPINE, M.Sc., M.B., Ch. M.,
Director of the Laboratory and Proctor Professor of Comparative
Pathology and Bacteriology. Crown 4to. pp. iv. 451. £1. 1s. net.
(Publication No. 12, 1906.)
"The University of Manchester has taken the important and highly
commendable step of commencing the publication of the archives of its
Public Health Laboratory, and has issued, under the able and judicious
editorship of Professor Sheridan Delépine, the first volume of a
series that promises to be of no small interest and value alike
to members of the medical profession and to those of the laity....
Original communications bearing upon diseases which are prevalent
in the districts surrounding Manchester, or dealing with food- and
water-supplies, air, disposal of refuse, sterilisation and disinfection
and kindred subjects, will be published in future volumes; and it is
manifest that these, as they successively appear, will form a constantly
increasing body of trustworthy information upon subjects which are not
only of the highest interest to the profession but of supreme importance
to the public."--_The Lancet_.
"It is safe to say that as these volumes accumulate they will form one
of the most important works of reference on questions of public health,
and ought, at all events, to be in the library of every public
authority."--_Manchester Guardian_.
THEOLOGICAL SERIES.
No. I. INAUGURAL LECTURES delivered during the Session 1904-5, by the
Professors and Lecturers of the Faculty of Theology, viz.:--
Prof. T. F. Tout, M.A.; Prof. A. S. Peake, B.D.; Prof. H. W. Hogg,
M.A.; Prof. T. W. Rhys Davids, LL.D.; Rev. W. F. Adeney, D.D.; Rev.
A. Gordon, M.A.; Rev. L. Hassé, B.D.; Rev. Canon E. L. Hicks, M.A.;
Rev. H. D. Lockett, M.A.; Rev. R. Mackintosh, D.D.; Rev. J. T.
Marshall, D.D.; Rev. J. H. Moulton, D.Litt.
Edited by A. S. PEAKE, B.D., Dean of the Faculty.
Demy 8vo, pp. xi. 296. 7s. 6d. net. (Publication No. 9, 1905.)
"The lectures, while scholarly, are at the same time popular, and
will be found interesting and instructive by those who are not
theologians.... The entire series is excellent, and the volume deserves
a wide circulation."--_Scotsman_.
"This is a very welcome volume.... All these lectures were delivered to
popular audiences, yet they are far from superficial, and will be found
of great value to busy pastors and teachers."--_Christian World_.
"The lectures themselves give a valuable conspectus of the present
position of Theological research.... They are, of course, not addressed
to experts, but they are exceedingly valuable, even when allowance is
made for their more or less popular form."--_Examiner_.
"The whole volume forms a very important and valuable contribution to
the cause of Theological learning."--_Record_.
"This is a most interesting and valuable book, the appearance of which
at the present moment is singularly significant.... But it is impossible
in a brief review to indicate all the treasures of this rich volume, to
read which carefully is to be introduced to the varied wealth of modern
Biblical scholarship."--_Baptist_.
"The writers of these lectures do not attempt to offer more than samples
of their wares: but what is given is good, and it may be seen that
theology without tests is destitute neither of scientific value nor of
human interests."--_Athenæum_.
