Anthropological Miscellanea and New Books. 147

"The Relations of Mind and Brain." By Henry Calder- wood, LL.D., Professor of Moral Philosophy, University of Edin- burgh. 3rd edition. (Macmillain, 1892.) 8vo. pp. 551. The object of the work, as stated in the preface to the first edition, is to ascertain what theory of mental life is warranted on strictly scientific evidence. The order followed is to consider, ,first, the latest results of anatomnical and physiological research as to the structure and functions of the brain; second, the facts in human life unaccounted for by anatomical and physiological science, and requiring to be assigned to a higher nature. On the side of Mental Philosophy, it must be recognised that analysis of con- sciousriess ca,nnot be regarded as affording a complete survey of the facts of personal life. On the other hand, it is clear that the known facts connected with cerebral action do not include famliliar phases of mental activity. If we allow ourselves to be engrossed with physiological investigations as to brain, we restrict our attenticGn to a single class of facts, and become unable to take a view of human life as a totality. The whole range of evidence must be traversed, if we are to secure a harmonious representation of the constitution of human nature. The titles of the chapters are:-Relations of philosophy and science; structure of the brain; the nerve system as dependent on the great nerve centre; localisation of functions in distinct portions of the brain; com- parison of the structure and functions of brain in lower and higher forms of animal life; results of anatomical and physiological in- vestigations; animal intelligence; personal experience as con- nected witb action of the sensory system; experience as connected with motor activity; retention of acquisition-memory; use of speech; action and reaction of body and mind; weariness, sleep, and r4ncorqsciousness; brain disorders; the higher forms of mental activity; summary of intellectual results; hypnotism. The work is fully illustrated and well indexed.

"Masks, Heads, and Faces," with some considerations re- specting the rise and development of art. By Ellen R. Emerson. (A. and C. Black, 1892.) Svo. pp. 312. The authoress considers that " The original purposes of the mask were religious and serious. Their object, like the earliest form of the drama, was the manifestation--the incarnation-of the gods. Rite and formula carefCLlly guarded them; reverence for their indwelling 'breath,' animating both mask and wearer, preserved them. Not
