Chapter VI: Appendix: Bibliography of Tobacco

For the benefit of those readers who may feel interested in this subject, the following list is added, of the principal works which have been written on the effects of tobacco. The older ones have, of course, little scientific value, yet they are often interesting and suggestive. They usually made the best use of the science of their time, which is more than can be said of some of the later treatises.

RECENT PUBLICATIONS

OF

LEYPOLDT & HOLT.

451 Broome St., N.Y.

(_Copies sent by mail, postpaid, on receipt of the price._)

Taine's Italy.

(Rome, and Naples.) Translated by JOHN DURAND. A new edition, with
corrections and an index. 8vo. Vellum cloth. $2.50.

"One of the most powerful writers of the day--to our own taste,
indeed, the most powerful--the writer of all others who throws
over the reader's faculties, for the time, the most irresistible
spell, and against whose influence, consequently, the mental
reaction is most violent and salutary. * * * His style,
literally translated (and Mr. Durand is very literal), makes
very natural English. It has an energy, an impetus, a splendor
to which no words of ours can do justice. * * * Finally, we
cannot help laying down our conviction that M. Taine's two
volumes form a truly great production; great, not in a moral
sense, and very possibly not in a philosophical, but appreciably
great as a contribution to literature and history. One feels at
moments as if, before this writer, there had been no critics, no
travellers, observers, or æsthetic inquisitors."--_Nation._

"No one who has studied art, or speculated on history, or
cultivated a love for the beautiful, or allegiance to the true,
can help finding rare instruction and delight in Taine's
'Italy.'"--_Boston Transcript._

The Myths of the New World.

A Treatise on the Symbolism and Mythology of the Red Race of
America. By DANIEL G. BRINTON, A.M., M.D. 8vo. Vellum cloth,
$2.50. Large-paper edition (only fifty-six copies printed), $6.00.

"Dr. Brinton is probably the first American who has specially
treated the subject of Indian mythology in a thorough and
scholarly way. * * * * The philosophical spirit in which it is
written is deserving of unstinted praise, and justifies the
belief that, in whatever Dr. Brinton may in future contribute to
the literature of Comparative Mythology, he will continue to
reflect credit upon himself and his country."--_North American
Review._

A Psyche of To-day.

By Mrs. C. JENKIN, author of "Who Breaks Pays." $1.25.

"After opening the pretty volume of this story, we did what a
newspaper reviewer rarely finds time to do with a book to be
"noticed"--read it through without stopping, from title-page to
_finis_. * * * It is a book to be welcomed in any home."--_N.Y.
Times._

"A capital novel of modern French life and society. * * *
The writer's method of composition, so bright, crisp, and
suggestive, adds greatly to the effect of her wit, observation,
and sentiment."--_Boston Transcript._

In the Year '13.

A Historical Tale. By FRITZ REUTER. Translated from the
Platt-Deutsch by CHARLES LEE LEWES (son of G. H. Lewes).
16mo. Flexible cloth, $1; paper, 75 cts.

"One of the most artistic and pleasing bits of history to be
found, we think, in any literature."--_Nation._

"One of the daintiest possible of volumes. The page is
exquisite, and the binding befits it. * * * The story is full of
humor, intermingled with strains of heroism and pathos, and
sustained all the while by a noble moral of duty to man and
trust in God. Of all the queer German tales which we have read,
this is one of the queerest."--_New Englander._

Mozart. A Biographical Novel.

From the German of HERIBERT RAU, by EDWARD ROWLAND SILL. Cloth,
gilt, $1.75; plain, $1.50; paper $1.00.

"A succession of beautiful pictures from the life of the
sensitive and impassioned artist.... The work has the charm of
actual adventure and incident, without the usual waxen formality
of the historical romance. The description of European social
life, especially the German domestic sketches, are brilliant and
often delightful. Mr. Sill has evidently engaged in the
translation not as a task, but as a labor of love, and has
admirably succeeded."--_N.Y. Tribune._

"A story full of insight and artistic sympathy--a beautiful
memorial and tribute to the life, the trials, the triumphs,
andthe memory of genius; and, besides all this, has the
charm of afascinating narrative and the value of a genuine
memoir."--_Boston Transcript._

"A book of rare and absorbing interest."--_Hours at Home._

MRS. JENKIN'S NOVELS.

_Just ready._

Madame de Beaupré.

By Mrs. C. JENKIN, author of "A Psyche of Today," "Who Breaks
Pays," etc. 16mo. $1.25.

_In preparation._

"Once and Again." "Cousin Stella."

_Recently Published._

A Psyche of To-day.

By Mrs. C. JENKIN, author of "Who Breaks Pays." $1.25.

"After opening the pretty volume of this story, we did what a
newspaper reviewer rarely finds time to do with a book to be
'noticed'--read it through without stopping, from title-page to
_finis_. * * * It is a book to be welcomed in any home."--_N.Y.
Times._

"A capital novel of modern French life and society. * * *
Thewriter's method of composition, so bright, crisp, and
suggestive, adds greatly to the effect of her wit, observation,
and sentiment."--_Boston Transcript._

"Displays great delicacy of feeling and perception of character,
and is written in an admirable style."--_Springfield Republican._

"A charming Novel."--_Philadelphia Press._

Two novels worth reading.--_Nation._

"Who Breaks--Pays." By the author of "Cousin Stella," "Skirmishing," &c. 1 vol., 12mo. Cloth. Price, $1.25.

"'Who Breaks--Pays,' is a love tale, told with exquisite pathos
and poetry. There is a freshness and originality about the
book which give it a place among the standard works of the
day."--_Publishers' Circular._

"One of the most interesting stories we have ever read. It is a
love tale, but most unlike the trashy stuff published as such,
and worthy the reading of intellectual people."--_Boston
Saturday Evening Gazette._

Skirmishing. By the Author of "Who Breaks--Pays," etc. 12mo. Cloth. Price, $1.25.

"Every page tells; there is no book-making about it--no attempt
to fill chapters with appropriate affections. Each sentence is
written carefully, and the result is that we have a real work of
art, such as the weary critic has seldom the pleasure of meeting
with."--_The London Reader._

The Annals of Rural Bengal.

By W. W. HUNTER, B.A., M.R.A.S. First American, from the second
English Edition. 8vo. Cloth. $4.

"Written with "the insight of Colonel Tod and the research of
Mr. Duff, in prose almost as good as that of Mr. Froude." * * *
If Mr. Hunter does not ultimately compel recognition from the
world as an historian of the very first class, of the class to
which not a score of Englishmen have ever belonged, we entirely
mistake our trade. * * * He has executed with admirable industry
and rare power of expression a task, which, so far as we know,
has never yet been attempted--he has given life and reality and
interest to the internal history of an Indian province under
British rule, to a history, that is, without battles or sieges
or martial deeds of any sort. * * We have given but a faint
sketch of the mass of matter in this volume, the rare merit of
which will sometimes only be perceptible to Anglo-Indians
unaccustomed to see their dry annals made as interesting as a
novel. We most cordially counsel Mr. Hunter, of whom, it is
needful to repeat, the writer never heard before, to continue
the career he has chalked out for himself."--_Spectator._

"Mr. Hunter has given us a book that not only possesses sterling
historical value, but is thoroughly readable. * * The picture of
the great famine of 1769, which did so much toward ruining the
native Bengal aristocracy, is worthy of Thucydides; and the two
chapters about the Indian Aborigines, especially about the
Santals, who astonished us so much in 1855, form a pleasing
monograph from which the reader may learn more about the origin
of Caste and the relations of the Aryan and Turanian languages,
and the connection between Buddhism and Hinduism, than from a
score of the old-fashioned 'authorities.'"--_Imperial Review._

"Mr. Hunter's style is charming; though not faultless, it is
clear, direct, thoughtful, and often eloquent; and his matter
is so full of varied interest, that, despite a few pages of
somewhat technical discussion on a question of language, his
book as a whole is fascinating to the general reader."--_N.Y.
Evening Post._

The Ideal in Art.

By H. TAINE, author of "Italy," etc. Cloth. $1.50.

"It is a classic upon its subject, and ought to be not merely
read, but mastered and made familiar by all who wish to have the
right to form opinions of their own on the productions of the
arts of design."--_N.Y. Evening Post._

(_See notices of_ TAINE'S ITALY _on another page_.)

THE NATION.

PUBLISHED THURSDAYS, IN NEW YORK.

ESTABLISHED JULY, 1865.

_One Year, Five Dollars; Clergymen, Four Dollars._

E. L. GODKIN & CO., PUBLISHERS,

No. 3 Park Place, New York.

"It fairly represents, as no other of our weekly journals does,
the best thought and culture of America."--_North American
Review._

"It appears to fill the bill presented in Captain Shandon's
Prospectus of the _Pall Mall Gazette_, as a paper published by
gentlemen for gentlemen, and appealing to the gentlemen of
America for support."--_San Francisco News Letter._

"A newspaper which has done much to show that American
journalism may attain a far higher level than that to which we
have hitherto been accustomed. It is written by men of ability
for a cultivated audience, and is free from those appeals to
popular ignorance and prejudice which deface the pages of most
of its contemporaries."--_London Pall Mall Gazette._

"A Radical journal of acknowledged power and respectability."
--_London Times._

"A paper in every respect equal to the best English journals."
--_London Saturday Review._

"The _Saturday Review_ considers the _New York Nation_ the
ablest paper in America. This is saying a great deal,
particularly as, we venture to say, the writer had not seen
one of every fifty papers published in the country. We dare,
however, say he was not very far from the mark."--_Anglo-American
Times (London)._

"I regard the _Nation_ as one of the very best of our journals.
Politically, it has no superior."--_Hon. Lyman Trumbull._

"The best journal in America; and not only so, but better, on
the whole, than any in England."--_Prof. Goldwin Smith._

ADDITIONAL TESTIMONIALS.

"I like THE NATION thoroughly, not only for its ability, but its
tone. I have particularly liked many of its critical articles,
which have seemed to me in every way superior, and level with
the best culture of the time. They have thought in them and
demand it of the reader--a very rare quality in most of the
criticism of the day."--_Prof. Jas. Russell Lowell._

"I have been a reader of THE NATION since its first publication,
and hope to continue to be till it dies, or I do.... It is a
clear, sound paper. I wish it had a million subscribers."--_Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher._

"Allow me to express my great satisfaction at the course of THE
NATION, and to wish you success."--_Judge Hugh L. Bond,
Baltimore._

"Thanks for the discrimination and courtesy which usually mark
your columns, and which permit us to hope that it will be
possible for an American newspaper to discuss principles without
violating proprieties."--_Gail Hamilton._

"I wish it success from the bottom of my heart."--_Rev. H. W.
Bellows._

"Peculiarly suitable to the wants of educators and teachers; and
hence I omit no opportunity to recommend it among my educational
friends. If I could have but one American periodical, I should
take THE NATION."--_J. D. Philbrick, Esq., Superintendent of
Public Schools, Boston._

"I am glad to know of the pre-eminent success of your journal.
It has a high rank amongst the newspapers and reviews of the day
for the firm, bold stand it has taken for the rights of man,
white or black."--_Maj.-Gen. O. O. Howard._

"THE NATION newspaper is an honor to the American press, and a
blessing to the American people."--_Rev. Calvin E. Stowe._

"I recommend your paper to all I meet with, and whenever an
opportunity presents itself."--_Jas. E. Yeatman, Esq., Pres.
West. Sanitary Com., St. Louis._

"Its independence, manly candor, and real ability so entirely
command my respect that I read perhaps with most interest those
articles which controvert my own notions."--_Hon. J. D. Cox,
Governor of Ohio._

"Amidst the hackneyed dogmatism that prevails in American
politics, the critical analyses of opinions and systems
contained in THE NATION, are very grateful to any man at all
accustomed to political thoughts."--_Hon. Thomas C. Fletcher,
Gov. of Missouri._

"I feel sure when I read it, that it is not written in the
interest of any man or clique, but in the interest of what the
editors believe to be sound doctrine, good learning and good
taste."--_Hon. Richard H. Dana, Jr., Boston._
