' Immanuel Kant, seine geographischen und anthropologischen Arbeiten.' [The concluding article of this series. In it Gerland expounds and gives a very destructive criticism of Kant's Natural History of the Heavens. It is quite wrong to speak of a Kant-Laplace hypothesis, or to describe Kant as the founder of modern cosmology. Kant's treatise is, in its main tenets, inspired by Wright's earlier work ; and, owing to its inherent defects, necessarily remained without important influence. Its value and significance are chiefly personal and philosophical. Gar- land concludes by consideration of Kant's later geographical and anthro- pological treatises.] M. Runze.

Stuttgart, Ferdinand Enke, 1906. Bd i., Heft 1, M. 5. This is the first appearance of a periodical which aims at being the special literary organ of those who are scientifically active about questions of aesthetics, of whom there are a goodly number in Germany, and, one would hope, an increasing number in English-speaking countries. The present part contains ten sheets, and we are promised four parts per annum, of eight to ten sheets each, to constitute a volume. The Prospectus promises very good things, and, if the publication main- tains the standard it has set itself in its first number, it is not likely to complain of want of support, and may look forward to the prosperous career which we heartily wish it. The number contains the following articles: Theodor Lipps. 'Zur " asthetischen Mechanik ".' [Shows how certain simple lines proceed freely, or with innate necessity, from certain forces, tendencies, activities, etc. The aesthetic impression pro- duced by these lines is due to the synthesis of the feeling of these forces, etc., and this or that line is to be employed only where the thought of such forces, etc., has meaning.] Konrad Lange.
