“Dr. Hickson ranks as the naturalist-historian of Malay Archipelago, and is an undoubted authority on corals and the general fauna of tropical seas.  But he is more than a naturalist—­he is an ethnologist and a folklorist of high value.  This work is a valuable, conscientious, and pleasantly written addition to the libraries of all who, with ’Childe Harold,’ ‘converse with Nature’s charms, and view her shores unrolled.’  The maps are of especial value.”—­Daily Telegraph.

THE PHYSIOLOGY OF INDUSTRY;

BEING AN EXPOSURE OF CERTAIN FALLACIES IN EXISTING THEORIES OF
ECONOMICS.

By A.F.  MUMMERY and J.A.  HOBSON.

Crown 8vo. 6s.

“This is one of the most remarkable contributions to the economic controversy lately seen.  The authors set themselves out as antagonistic to most of the received theories, and especially to controvert Mill’s position that ’saving enriches, and spending impoverishes the community along with the individual.’  The argument is full of acute observation, and the industrial process, as we may call it, is exposed to a careful scientific dissection....  The volume is eminently readable and valuable.”—­North British Economist.
