The manner and customs prevailing at the time, the style of dress, the tone of thought, the religious sentiments of the people, both High and low, both Egyptian and Hebrew, are depicted with much care.

Collins, C: H. From Highland Hills to an emperor's tomb; episodical, reflective, and descriptive. Cin., Rob. Clarke and Co., 1886. 6344 p. il. D. cl., $2.

An interesting account of a trip from " Highland Hills," Hillsboro, Ohio, to Europe, the Emperor's tomb being that of Napoleon I. The author digresses frequently into the realms of fancy, and gives much quaint and unconventional information of the places visited, In an epilogue he gives a description of Mackinaw Island, a sketch of Father Marquette, and some reflections on Chattanooga and Lookout Mountain.

They have been collected in a volume not because the author attaches undue importance to them, but because he ventures to think that they throw light on two singularly interesting episodes in the

Scene, a large estate on the north-eastern coast of Eng Land. Agatha, the heroine, lives with her blind grandmother. Suddenly a telegram tells of Lord Vanecourt's appearance. He is flying from creditors, and hopes to get hold of the family diamonds. The plot is startling, but well conceived. After much tribulation Agatha marries Leonard, a cousin from India. Two or three of the characters are almost new, even to old novel-consumers.

Whether society should recognize a couple who, after being divorced, become reconciled, agree to forget their past difficulties and re-marry, is the question Mr. Collins tries to solve. The "evil genius" who makes all the mischief is the mother-in-law, who feels it is her duty to epen her daughter's eyes to her husband's admiration for the governess. The governess' history takes up a good space in the opening chapters, and is full of interest. Her father is tried and found guilty of deliberately causing the loss of his ship in order to gain possession of a large package of diamonds, The trial, the unsuccessful attempt to find the stolen diamonds, the girl's helpless condition, and so on are all told with the detail Mr. Collins has made specially his own. There is much dramatic power shown in the narrative.

Gabriel Compayré, one of the most distinguished educators in France, was born Jan. 2, 1843, at Albi, southern France. He lectured for many years at the universities of Pan and Poitiers, and issued a number of works on philosophical, social, and political questions. The present work is one of his most important, and, according to the translator " represents very nearly the ideal of the treatise that is needed by the teaching profession of this country. It goes back to education in antiquity and among the Greeks and Romans, the early Christians, and the Middle Ages, and thence down through the various epochs, noting prominent teachers, and educators, and philosophers, and giving an account of their methods and theories. PestaTozzi and Froebel come in for a good share of attention, while the educational methods of to-day are fully described.

The descriptions of the Jesuit rule of the day, and of the various plans of Louis XIII. and Charles I. to get supreme control of the new colonial possessions, are historically correct. The author gives copious foot-notes referring to his authorities, and his chief aim is to interest his readers to study up the subject for themselves.
