Nebula to Man. By Henry R. Knipe. (J. M. Dent

and Co. 21s. net.)—We cannot honestly say that we think that Mr. Knipe has done well in putting his scientific story of the evolution of man into the form of verse. The highest praise that we can give to this is to say that it is simple and intelligible, that it bears no resemblance to the ornate rhetoric of the elder Darwin in his " Loves of the Plants." The illustrations are very interesting and instructive.
