Begins with a brief summary of the religious persecutions in the old world which led to the colonization of Massachusetts, and gives a detailed history of that Puritan Commonwealth and of the development of the different sects, which in their turn were all persecuted by the parties in power. The Antinomians, the Anabaptists, the Quakers, the Witches, etc., etc., and their special doctrines are clearly described. A full history of the founding of Harvard College and its influence on the thought of that day and of our own are given. The authorities consulted are given in foot-notes to vouch for each statement. The work shows how amidst hardship and apparent failure Massachusetts "slowly achieved her civil and religious liberty, and conceived that constitutional system which is the root of our national life."

Adams, Mrs. Leith, [Mrs. Laffan.] Geoffrey Stirling: a novel. Phil., J. B. Lippincott Co., 1887. 397 P. D. hf. cl., 50 c.

The main incident is a crime which impoverishes a a great many people, causes much sorrow, and puzzles the worthy people of Beeklington for a number of years, when a clever woman discovers that the author of this deed has lived in their midst, loved and respected for a number of years. This discovery profits her little, as Geoffrey Stirling's death makes her revengeful plans a failure.

Alexander, Archibald. Some problems of philosophy. N. Y., C: Scribner's Sons, 1886. 4+170 p. S. cl., $1.

C.

The author is Professor of Philosophy in Columbia College, New York City. In his labor of instructing different minds he is brought to realize the difficulty of explaining satisfactorily such problems as: The problem of the ultimate nature of matter; the problem of the origin of organic being; some difficulties connected with any doctrine of the ego; unconscious mental states; the problem of physiological psychology; reason in contradiction to reason; the relation of belief to knowledge; the problem of human will; the immortality of the soul; the feeling of obligation and moral knowledge; is Hedonism equivalent to pessimism? the ethical conflict; the doctrine of a first cause; the infinite; God and the principle of right; the atheistic meaning of pantheism; and the doctrine of cause and effect. The style is clear and attractive.

Barr, Amelia E. The squire of Sandal-side: a pastoral romance. N. Y., Dodd, Mead & Co., [1887.] c. '86. 342 p. D. cl., $1.

The scene is laid in an old manor-house situated at the foot of Seat-Sandal mountain in the Cumberland valley. The story has no depth of plot; the interest for the most part centres in the quaint romance of Charlotte Sandal and Stephen Latrigg, and the incident which made Stephen "Squire of Sandal-side." The characters are supposed to have lived in Wordsworth's time and Miss Barr introduces him in the story.

The descriptions of Dorothy's home life with her adored brother and their tutor, who is a clergyman of learning, with a taste for good wines and the theatre, is true to nature and to history. Dorothy loves a Papist lord, but refuses to marry him because she is a Protesant. Her short love story, her devotion to her family and the tutor's devotion to her, make a novel of great merit.

The scene of this novel is laid in a flourishing Western city on Lake Michigan. The "golden justice" is a statue erected on the roof of the City Hall by David Lane, a thriving business man, who was Governor of the State at the time the building was put up. In this "justice" was hidden a paper confessing a crime committed by Lane, which had great influence upon the lives of his only daughter and her faithful lover, Paul Barclay. How this paper came into the hands of Barclay gives occasion for the description of a Western tornado. The details of elections, labor unions, newspaper management, theories of divorce, factory discipline, etc., in the growing West, add great interest to the story.

The object of the present work is "to give some idea of a school or period of literary history as well as space and the character of the classes for which the book is intended will permit." The selections are in French, and are intended for those who have already been made acquainted with the ordinary grammatical difficulties of the French language. The notes are confined almost exclusively to the explanation of literary and biographical questions. The introduction indicates the various lines of influence and phases of the romantic school, which, the editor says, "under the guidance of the teacher and with the aid of the list of works to consult, the student can investigate more fully at his leisure."

Curtis, G: Ticknor. Creation or evolution? A philosophical inquiry. N. Y., Appleton, 1887. c. 19+564 p. D. cl., $2.

A strong interest in the modern doctrine of animal evolution, and a careful study of the works of Darwin and Herbert Spencer, resulted in the author writing the present book." The result," he says, "of my study of the hypothesis of evolution is, that it is an ingenious but delusive mode of accounting for the existence of either the body or the mind of man; and that it employs a kind of reasoning which no person of sound judgment would apply to anything that might affect his welfare, his happiness, his estate, or his conduct in the practical affairs of life."

The author is now Professor of Systematic Theology in Yale University, and he dedicates his book "To the students who in successive classes have been under my instruction in philosophy and theology in Bowdoin College and in Bangor and Yale Theological Schools." He explains his reasons for writing this work in his introduction: "While the reasons for believing in God and seeking first his kingdom are always in essence the same, the apprehension of them by men of successive generations must vary in accordance with the progress of knowledge and civilization and the changing condition,opinions, and development of man. Hence in every generation the claims of God in Christ to the faith and service of man must be examined anew." Eighteen-page index. *Heart (The) of the weed: poems.

Lee, Edmund. Dorothy Wordsworth the story of a sister's love. Dodd, Mead & Co., 1887. 226 p. D. cl.. $1.25.

A pleasantly written sketch of one of the most charming figures in literary history. Dorothy Wordsworth (born 1771), the "sole sister of the poet, one year his junior, was his life-long friend and companion, the inspirer of much of his best work, and a real factor in the revival of English poetry. Many of her brother's poems

are dedicated to or mention her, and she was the friend of Mary and Charles Lamb, De Quincey, and of all the Lake poets. She died five years after her brother, in 1855. The author has written this delightful book, because, except for the sketch in Prof. Shairp's "Tour in Scotland," no separate memorial of her existed. Poems and extracts from her journals are included.

The author has endeavored to present the most recent information relating to the subject, at the same time not overlooking important truths established by past experience. Having been actively engaged in practice for upwards of thirty-four years, and nearly two-thirds of that time a medical teacher, he has studied to write a book which will be alike useful to students and practitioners. The work contains a number of handsomely executed engravings, some of which are original and a number which he claims have never before appeared in any American treatise on the subject.

Pt. 2 treats of methods of teaching the various subjects usually taught in primary and grammar schools, including many topical outlines which have been tried in the school-room and found helpful. Pt. 3 contains plans of organization, with reference to schoolbuildings, apparatus, reference-books, classification, programmes, etc. It also treats of the means of moral training and school government.

His sole aim seems to have been to collect within the same cover, either in condensed form or through the medium of illustrative extracts, the opinions of the philosophers, the seers, and the teachers of the past and present, from Kapila to Leconte de Lisle, regarding the object and purpose of life. That it is negation his book seems to prove in spite of himself. Like complement, it is pessimistic throughout. Completed with "The philosophy of disenchantment," of which it is the a bibliography.

JOURNALISTIC NOTES.

THE FOREST AND STREAM PUB. Co. announce a new periodical, the Audubon Magazine, to be printed in the interest of the Audubon Society

for the Protection of Birds.

PROFESSOR WILLIAM JAMES, of Harvard College, will occupy the first place in The Popular Science Monthly for February with an unusually readable paper on "The Laws of Habit." A very clear explanation, on physiological grounds, of the way in which habits come to involve all the functions of the organism, growing with its growth, and hardening into permanency as it matures, makes this article valuable reading for youth and for those who have the care of the young.

A NOTABLE illustrated article in the February The likenumber of Scribner's Magazine will be nesses of Cæsar," by Mr. J. C. Ropes. For years Mr. Ropes has been collecting photographs of the head of Julius Cæsar, as it appears in the busts and statues of him. The article is a description of this unique collection, and is finely illustrated with reproductions of the most striking portraits among the number. Mr. T. S. Perry will contribute to the same issue a short paper on "Russian Novels," a subject of unusual interest at the present time.
