MAY IRWIN'S HOME COOKING. Illustrated by Francis Brook Farley. 268 pp. 8vo. Frederick A. Stokes Co. Miss May Irwin, whose appearance certainly justifies the conclusion that she is fed well, has compiled a cook book based on personal experiences, accompanied by brief remarks on the May-Irwin-stage style, followed by an occasional comic illustration, sometimes cribbed bodily, but often preserving some little touch of suggestion or neat phrase which relieves the book from the routine habit of the literature of the cuisine.

ONE HUNDRED AND ONE CHAFING DISH RECIPES. Compiled by May E. Southworth. 93 pp. Indexed. 12mo. Paul Elder & Co.

PHILOSOPHY AS SCIENTIA SCIENTIARUM, AND A HISTORY OF CLASSIFICATIONS OF THE SCIENCES. By Robert Flint. 340 pp. 8vo. Charles Scribner's Sons. Nearly forty years ago Professor Flint began his work at Edinboro University. This volume contains his lectures upon the relation of the sciences. The work was repeatedly announced, but never appeared, though an important part of it was published in the Presbyterian Review in 1885. It is an endeavor first to show that with sympathetic philosophy a science of sciences is possible, and, second, to review historically the attempt in this direction from Plato to the present time. The first half of the book to Kant deals almost altogether with the metaphysical classification of the sciences. From the time of the French encyclopaedists, represented by De Tracy, covering the last century and a quarter, the material rather than the mental relations of the sciences begins to grow important. The close of the book treats particularly of the science of man. PHYSIOLOGICAL ECONOMY IN NUTRITION. With special reference to the minimal proteid requirements of the healthy man. An experimental study by Russell H. Chittenden. 478 pp. 8vo. Frederick A. Stokes & Co. SCIENTIFIC FACT AND METAPHYSICAL REALITY. By Robert Brandon Arnold. 360 pp. 8vo. The Macmillan Co. The main object of this work, says the author, may be described as the fruits of efforts to bring the development of science into touch with the point of view of metaphysical thinking. The present work deliberately introduces details and illustrations, derived from science, but not fact, considered with refer ence to its bearing on such scientifical problem. The entire field is covered by this ambitious attempt from the relations of science and metaphysics, to God and the Absolute, with a closing chapter on criminology. |
