A new work by Mr. Darwin has just been announced, the appearance of which will be awaited with much interest by the community. In this the conclusions arrived at in regard to species will be applied particularly to man. The work, to be published next year, will consist of three parts: first, the descent of man; second, the sexual selections; and third, the expression of emotions. In the third subject we shall have the result of numerous inquiries which Mr. Darwin has been making for some years, through circulars distributed by him, as to how far man is endowed with muscles solely for the purpose of expressing emotion; how far the same expressions prevail among the different races of man; and in what manner the different animals exhibit their emotions.
