Huxley and William Jay Yeomans. 1 volume, llmo. Cloth, 3"8psges. Price t'J. "My friend and teacher, Professor Huxley, having been tur a considerable time engaged In the preparation of an elementary work on Physiology, at such brief intervals as he could snatch from his laborious scientittc researches, and it having been suggested to him that its republication in this country might be desirable, ha con titled the early sheets of the work to rat , to make such additions of matter and modifications of form as might be thought proper to adapt it to the circumstances and requirements of American education. This I have done to the best of my judgment by contributing eight chapters to the present edtion: the tirst.on the relation of Physiology to the other sciences; and the last seven, forming ' art 1 1 , which treats briefly of general Hygiene, or the application of the principles of Physiology to the art of preserving health. I have also numbered the paragraphs of the work continuously, prefixed headings to them, and appended a set of questions to the wbi le. My own additions to the volume have been made id response to a growing demand that the subject ot Hy.it'tw, in both its bodily and mental aspects, shall receive increasing attention in general education.

Gentlemen: I have great pleasure in certifying that I have tried your Grand, Square and Upright Pianos, and find, them equal.if not superior, to any in this country.

Wishing you all the suooess which you so highly deserve, I am, airs, Yours, very truly, S. THA1.BEBO. Translation fbom theIFbench. After having played on the Piano of Messrs. Knabe & Co., It is Impossible not to bear testimony to their qualities, which have acquired for them the eminent reputation which they enjoy. The Pianos of their manufacture, on which I have played, are exceedingly remarkable for their qualities of tone. The Bass is powerful, without harshness, and the upper notes sweetj clear and harmoniously mellow, (chrystalin,) and I do not hesitate to express in regard to these instruments my entire satisfaction, and to declare that they are equal, if not supenor, to the best manufactured in Europe or this country by the most celebrated makers. L. M. GOTTSCHALK. Messbs. Wm. Knabe & Co. Gentlemen: I cannot but congratulate VOU UDOn the immensa nrmrrpfu Rnri improvements which you continually make on your Pianos, which, in my opinion, rank among the very best in the country. M.

Gentlemen: Havingre-cently bad opportunities of testing both your new scale Grand and Square Pianos, it 0rm me great pleasure to state that I have found them to combine all the qualities to make a Piano as perfect as possible, and unsurpassed by any that I have seen either in this country or Europe. For great power and roundness of tone, combined with that peculiar sweet and singing quality, so often found wanting in Pianos, they are really unsurpassable, and in touch every thing that can be desired by the most brilliant player. Wishing yon every success, I remain, Yours truly, C. ANbCHUTZ. Messbs. Wm. Knabe ft Co.

Their superior quality of tone, combining great. deDth and powerful volume, with a rich and peculiarly Clear Km! .,. WbU, t.notlM will, inagiv: elasticity of touch and action, render them superior to the other instruments, which rarely if ever combine those most essential requisites.

E. mu:io, Musioal Director of the Italian Opera. Messbs. Wm. Knabe ft Co. Gentlemen : It gives me great pleasure to testify to the real excellence of your pianos. So many of my brother-artists have given you the highest encomiums, that nothing remains for me but to indorse them.
