cannot fail to attract the particular attention of scholars, and to open a new

translation by a reference to the original.

schools of philosophy-and is Pantheistic in its character.
When we
consider that the busy intellect of mankind has been engaged upon
metaphysical inquiries for thousands of years, and that no advance has been
made in real discovery, the teaching of the Bhagavad Gita is as valuable
now as it ever has been, and offers a study as attractive as any other which
exists for the student of the History of Religions.

Genera.

;

"Amongst the Invertebrata mention must be particularly made of the division Mollusca, the most copious of all, to which is devoted more than half the plates of the Atlas. The part is more particularly noteworthy, for, firstly, the full treatment of the Pteropod mollusks, in which the anatomy is fully exposed of every genus of this group, still so little known to naturalists; secondly, a similar comprehensive description of the Hetoropoda of Lamarck thirdly, the complete Anatomy of the Nudibranchiate Mollusca (Phlebentera) whose curious organization has excited already such numerous comment and observation. Still more, this section contains the anatomical description of several almost unknown genera, and a great number of species equally remarkable. The exact configuration of the animals forms an important feature of the Atlas."

"Catlin-one of the most admirable observers of manners who ever lived among the aborigines of America."-Humboldt's Cosmos, Vol. II, p. 602 (Bohn's Edition).

"A work of extraordinary interest and value; we need not recommend it to the world, for it is beyond all praise."-Athenæum.

"Mr. Catlin is the Historian of the Red Races of mankind; of a world fast fading away, and leaving hardly a trace or a wreck behind. With his pen and pencil he has brought the existence of these wild and uncivilized beings so vividly before our eyes, that we seem to have accompanied him in his wanderings, seen them, mixed with them, and impressed the recollection of their forms and features, their costume, strange customs, feasts, ceremonies, religious rites, wars, dances, sports, and other modes of life, distinctly upon our minds."--Literary Gazette.

This is a work of great interest for all Oriental Scholars and Comparative Mythologists.

Sir William Jones describes this work as containing "more recondite
learning, more entertaining history, more beautiful poetry, more ingenuity
and wit, indecency and blasphemy, than he ever saw collected in a single
volume." It contains an account of the old Persian, the Brahmin, the
Buddhist, the Christian, the Sufi, and the Mohammedan religions, with their
various sects; as well as a statement of their doctrines. It is most valuable
for its exposition of the Zoroastrian creed, as this is based on ancient Zend
works now entirely lost.

"This Broad Stone of Honour' is not only sui generis, but is in suo genere opus magnum. It may not attract a host of readers from the east and west, but it will-nay, it has become a part and parcel of the imperial literature of England, and is a work which no Englishman of culture would willingly let die. We will not use the hackneyed phrase, and say that it is a work which no gentleman and scholar should be without. We are well aware that many men to whom neither name can be refused will find themselves unable to sympathize with much that is in it. But this we will say, that if we found a copy of the "Broad Stone of Honour' on the bookshelves of a man whom we did not know, we should look with confidence upon this alone as good primâ facie evidence that the owner was a scholar and a gentleman."-The Spectator, January 5, 1878.
