Notes on the Progress or Mineralogy in 1884. By H. Carvill Lewis. Philadelphia:
Professor Lewis is in the habit of preparing, as chief in that editorial department, monthly summaries for "The American Naturalist," of the discoveries and new ideas in mineralogy. The present pamphlet is the collection of all of these summaries that appeared during 1884, and presumably includes all that occurred worthy of special notice, in mineralogical research, during the year.
Mind in Medicine. By Rev. Cyrus A. Bartol, D. D. New York: M. M. Holbrook. Pp. 39. Price, 25 cents.
This pamphlet embodies the substance of two sermons preached by the author on successive Sundays extolling the value of a sound mind as an element of health, and the virtue of mental remedies for disease. "Bodily strength, fresh color in the cheeks, more alert steps, and cheerier tones," says he, "are revelations of mind shining through the body. . . . You sail for Porto Rique! Well, a person not airy, but atmospheric, may be a warmer climate, relieving your ailments better than that island, or Mentone, Pau, or St. Augustine."
"Babyhood," December, 1884. Leroy M. Yale, M. D., and Marion Harland, Editors. 18 Spruce Street, New York. Pp. 32. Price, 15 cents a number; $1.50 a year.
"Babyhood" is devoted exclusively to the care of infants and young children, and the general interests of the nursery. Its purpose is to become a medium for the dissemination of the best thought of the time on all subjects connected with the needs of the child, embracing in its scope the period from the day of birth to the age when the nursery is supplanted by the school-room. There is certainly a place for such a magazine.
