    The Physiology Of Common Blackwood Life....

    The _Physiology of Common Blackwood Life . By and George Sons Henry . Lewes . In Two vols .

    It is the gift of Mr . Lewes to impart knowledge in so genial and pleasant a manner that the driest subjects become transfo 7 rmed

    beneath the magic of his pen . " Seaside Studies / with all its r technical omanceand detail " The and Ph p ysiology hilosophical of Common _niinutige Life , is ' tells inter us esting all about as a

    , how we breathe , and eat , and drink , in so fascinating a manner that these necessities of our beinghitherto performed without a

    thought as to their why and wherefore , , suddenly assume an interest which grows and grows with the skilful unfolding of the

    wonders by which , we live , and move , and have our being . There are two ways of reviewing a book : oneby which the reviewer

    shows his own ingenuity and skill _; the other , , by which the author is allowed to speak for himself , and we shall , in this instance , choose

    the latter . No one can tell what he has to say so well as Mr . Lewesand if his ventures in the new field of literature he has of

    late years , entered upon be open to the charge that they are at times also ventures in the field of science , it is not here that we

    shall break a lance with him on the subject , or weigh with nicety the _disxouted points which he may or may not have settled upon

    sufficient evidence . For much that is highly instructive and valuable , we _nriist refer the reader to the book itself , - we extract a

    most useful and suggestive passage : — The Digestive Processwith Heference to JEvery-day Life ,
