=SOLOMON MAIMON=: An Autobiography. Translated from the German, with Additions and Notes, by Prof. J. CLARK MURRAY. 1 vol. Cr. 8vo. Cloth. 307 pp. $2.00.
_A life which forms one of the most extraordinary biographies in the history of literature._

George Eliot, in “Daniel Deronda,” mentions it as “that wonderful bit of autobiography—the life of the Polish Jew, Solomon Maimon”; and Milman, in his “History of the Jews,” refers to it as a curious and rare book.

_Prof. Murray’s good fortune in bringing to light the “Maimon Memoirs,” together with the increasing popularity of his “Handbook of Psychology,” has attracted the attention of the intellectual world, giving him a position with the leaders of thought of the present age. His writings are at once original and suggestive._
