This New Issue of Lamb's Complete Works
Contains

A volume of Letters and Essays collected for this edition by
the industry of, and arranged with much taste and skill by,
J. E. Babson, Esq., of Boston," who literally knows Lamb
by heart."

In Mr. B.'s preface to this additional volume he says:

"Other writers may have more readers, but none have so many true, hearty, enthusiastic admirers as he... With all lovers and appreciators of true wit, genuine humor, fine fancy, beautiful imagination and exquisite pathos, he is a prodigious favorite. Indeed, there is something-a nameless, indescribable charm-about this author's productions which found many admiring readers in his life-time, since his death captivates and enravishes his readers, and though Lamb his fame and popularity have increased greatly.... For years I have been hopefully and patiently waiting for somebody to collect these scattered and all but forgotten articles of Lamb's.... Without doubt, all genuine admirers, all true lovers of the gentle, genial, delightful Elia,' to whom almost every word of their favorite author's inditing is 'farsed with pleasaunce,' will be mightily pleased with these productions of his inimitable pen, now first collected together."

These Memoirs, which hitherto have appeared in costly 8vo volumes, are now published at a much lower price, to correspond with the De Rémusat 12mo volume.

For

The object of Professor Huxley's new book is to afford an opportunity to students to commence the study of zoology by means of a careful verification of nearly all that is known concerning a single animal, the common crayfish. The book is termed an "Introduction to Zoology," whoever will follow its pages, crayfish in hand, and will try to verify for himself the statements which it contains, will find himself brought face to face with all the great zoological questions which excite so lively an interest at the present day."

"In this instalment of 'The Principles of Sociology,' Mr. Herbert Spencer gives us a monograph complete in itself, of moderate length, and on a subject which affords considerable literary opportunities. The opportunities have been well used, and it needs no historical enthusiasm for primitive humanity to find the book as entertaining as it is instructive... The leading idea which Mr. Spencer develops and illustrates all through the book is that, in the early history of society and institutions, form has gone before substance."-Saturday Review.
