"The present series," the editor announces, " is intended to be a guide to the inner geography of Europe." The books of which it will be made up will be selected because they present with freshness and variety the different aspects of continental feeling, and because they are both amusing and wholesome. This is a realistic story of the Exodus, in which the scenery through which it moves is minutely described. The author's

Egyptian studies and researches throw new light

on the Biblical narrative.

FOTHERGILL, CAROLINE. Diana Wentworth : a novel. Harper. 12° (Harper's Franklin sq. lib., new ser., no. 658.) pap., 45 c.

"A story of a young girl, who on the death of her father is not content to accompany her mother to the home of rich relatives, but prefers to gain her own livelihood in perfect independence. She leaves her native England, and goes to a remote part of Russia to act as governess. While there she meets casually a young English engineer, who came from a neighborhood not far from her own. He has sprung from the humblest origin, but by dint of hard work and by the superior mind that nature has given him he has risen to a place of responsibility and trust. The young governess is well born, and the social disparity between the two is marked; but the story, as it develops, brings out the affinity that exists between noble characters, however wide apart their social station may be. This affinity in this case ultimately joins these two people together for life, though in the meantime many interesting episodes engage them both. It is a well-written and interesting story." -Boston Commonwealth.

LOWELL, ROBERT. New priest in Conception Bay. New ed. Roberts. 12° $1.50.

This book, when it first appeared some years ago, attracted many readers of the more thoughtful sort, who found in its story and delineation of character not only force and earnestness, but a rare quality of beauty. The author, Mr. Lowell, possessed every advantage in writing about the people of Newfoundland. He was appointed to the charge of Bay Roberts in 1843 (Peterport in this novel), and while carrying on that mission he was obliged to undergo all the privations and anxieties that a severe famine in the island entailed upon all the inhabitants. His heroic motives and his scientific knowledge both had a free field, and earned him heartfelt gratitude from government and people, but his own health suffered for long after. Many of the characters and incidents of The new priest' are supposed to have been drawn from life. They are at any rate true to humanity and to the spirit of an isolated existence in which the very deprivations seem to intensify the grasp of the homely single men and women upon the loves, hates, and beliefs they possess."-The American.

MASON, E. L. Hiero-Salem, or the vision of peace. Cupples. 12° $2.

The expression of the philosophies of the hero, Daniel Heem, is evidently intended by the author to typify the present confused phases of the national life on the question of marriage and divorce. The hero emphasizes his conviction that all confusion of state, church, and society arises from inharmonious family relations, and that these are caused by defective and inharmonious character, in which he certainly touches a great truth. The law of the home, as presented in Hiero-Salem,' is this: Each individual is an ideal and an identity and has a part to execute in life characteristic of his own identity. But when needful, the individual may unite with others for the creation of the greatest good to the greatest number.'”—Boston Traveller. MATTHEWS, BRANDER. A family tree, and other stories. Longmans, G. 12° $1.25.

"Mr. Matthews is one of our younger writers, but one from whom we hope better things than he has yet accomplished. He has an alert and Vigilant intellect; he has admirable critical qualities, as he showed in his Theatres of Paris' and 'French dramatists of the nineteenth century,' and he has a genuine talent for story-telling, as we remember from his earlier attempts in this direction, when he worked in concert with Mr. H. C. Bunner (of Puck) and Mr. George H. Jessop. Writing by himself, as in the present collection, he has, we think, done better than ever before. In A family tree,' for example, we have a theme

which would have charmed the elder Hawthorne, whose treatment thereof, while it would doubtless have been more subtle and poetic, could not have been more powerful. We have in Memories' a tale which Poe might have been proud to own, but to which he could not have imparted its touching human interest; and we have (to name nothing else) in his Scherzi and Skizzen' four fantasies which Jean Paul might have written, if he could have forgotten Tristram Shandy.' Mr. Matthews is bright, original, incisive; he writes good, clear, elegant English, and, unlike so many of his clever compeers, he has a future. He has given us stories to read, and to return to." -Mail and Express.

In The lost Inca' we have one of those stories which have become rather common of late years, the central idea of which is the discovery or rediscovery of some lost or unknown region. The lost Inca, supposed to have perished in a great earthquake and tidal wave, turns up in a secluded valley on the South American coast, where he and his companions had been carried by a subterraneous current. The supposed writer of the tale finds his way there in the same manner, and with the aid of a staff of Spanish engineers the lost Inca does a great many wonderful scientific things, invents new and tremendous artillery, puts down a great rebellion, and acts generally in a highly advanced, not to say supernatural, manner. There is much ingenuity in the novel, but it suffers, as all such stories do, from the remoteness and alien character of the interest."-N. Y, Tribune.

PORTER, D. D. Arthur Merton: a romance. Appleton. 12° pap., 50 c.

Admiral Porter has laid the scene of his ro

mance in England. It tells of a most unhappy marriage, brought about by fraud and deceit. A young girl loves a man of her own age and station, but they are both poor, and are waiting hopefully for the time when they may prudently marry. Mr. Merton, a rich manufacturer, swears he will win this girl, and finally does so, after ruining her lover's good name, and driving him to Australia. Arthur Merton is the issue of this marriage. He in his turn is the victim of an enemy, and is thrown into prison for theft. At the end of the book the truth about all parties is brought out, after a good deal of skilful detective business. SCHUBIN, OSSIP, [pseud. for Lola Kürschner.] Erlach Court; from the German by Mrs. A. L. Wister. Lippincott. 12° $1.25.

At Erlach Court, amidst German surroundings and ill-assorted couples, Stella Meineck meets the Baron Rohritz. The Baron feels more than a passing fancy for the girl, but the intermeddling of a guest at the Court prevents his declaring himself. Stella also plays at cross-purposes, and their by-play is the chief element in a good German novel.

THIUSEN, I. A far look ahead; or, the Diothas. 2d ed. Putnam. 12° pap., 50 c.

Appeared six years ago. "An exceedingly wellwritten book, and those who object to the socialism which is so deftly expounded in Looking backward' ought to find comfort in A far look ahead.' The author urges that 'to become the well-fed slaves of an irresistible despotism, with its hierarchy of walking delegates, seems hardly the loftiest conceivable destiny for the human race.' In the régime depicted by him, the individual, although coöperating with his fellows in a carefully arranged system of productive employment, retains his individuality almost as fully as under the present order of things.”.

and progress of their peculiar doctrines, are related in this volume with more fulness and fairness than probably by any previous writer. Following the plan adopted from the first in this historical series, Mr. Bancroft has given serious consideration to both sides of the question. The story as told in the text is from the Mormon

gandpoint, and based entirely upon Mormon authorities, while in the notes, running side by side with the subject-matter in the text, is given in full all the anti-Mormon arguments and counter-statements. The story is rich in light and shade-in moving incidents, intolerance, crime, persecution, lawlessness; and deeds of vengeance. In the estimate of Brigham Young's character, it will surprise readers to find he is not set down either as a knave or a hypocrite-" if a bad man, he was still a great man, and the evil that he did was done with an honest purpose." Chapters are devoted to the commerce, agriculture, stock-raising, manufactures, and mining of Utah, also to its political, educational, and social institutions. 27 pages of authorities.

The extracts are not only from Stanley's letters, but from those of other members of the expedition which left England in January of 1887, to rescue Emin Bey from the hordes of the Mahdi and the young King of Uganda. This little compilation trenches in no way upon the important history of the expedition Mr. Stanley has in hand.

ALLEN, GRANT. Falling in love; with other essays on more exact branches of science. Appleton. 12° $1.25.

[ocr errors]

Mr. Allen's knowledge of the topics with which he deals is not to be questioned, and if his essays do not find readers it will not be through any lack in attractiveness of style. Mr. Allen himself assures us that he prefers his science like his champagne- dry; but that is merely a personal idiosyncrasy, and in this volume he undertakes to give the public sundry samples sweetened to suit the taste. The opening essay on 'Falling in love' is a stern arraignment of meddlesome fathers and managing mammas, and a justification of marriage for love as the highest known form of the selective animal instinct. terity, evolution, mimicry in the lower animals, hibernation, the habits of primitive man, the exot

A dictionary of quotations in prose from American and foreign authors, including translations from ancient sources. Crowell. 8° $2.

In 1883, the same compiler published A dictionary of quotations from the poets." This work is a companion volume. The compiler has allowed herself a wide range in collecting these prose quotations. Besides the standard writers and classics, writers almost unknown to "literature" have been drawn upon, because some one of their utterances in addresses or newspaper articles have seemed sufficiently graceful or original to justify their preservation. Altogether there have been brought together more than six thousand extracts, wise thoughts of famous men, shrewd sayings, apothegms, epigrams, utterances in "lyric prose," the precious fruit of intellect and genius. Five hundred and fifty-three authors and translators are represented. Their sayings are grouped under 841 heads, and there are 1238 cross-references. Although the work is alphabetical under topics, there is a topical index, an analytical index, a chronological table, and a list of authors and translators.

Everybody who has a fondness for out-of-door life must relish the essays on "Birds-songs about Worcester," by the late Harry Leverett Nelson. Mr. Nelson-who died on the threshold of a promising professional career was neither a philosopher nor a poet; he was, however, a careful and intelligent observer of the fields and woods and the birds that haunt them. He had the faculty of learning much from a casual stroll along a highway or across a meadow, and what he saw and heard he describes in language whose simplicity is its charm. Not many persons of Mr. Nelson's ability have the patience to devote the necessary time and care to a study calling for a thorough training both of eye and ear. This

POLITICAL AND SOCIAL. BIRNEY, W. James G. Birney and his times; the genesis of the Republican party, with some account of abolition movements in the South before 1828. Appleton. 12° $2.

"A disposition seems to have been manifest on the part of certain reviewers of the abolition period to attempt to praise William Lloyd Garrison by detracting from other Abolitionists whose work was, though perhaps not so conspicuous, certainly as effective as his. In view of this fact the public will read with interest a volume entitled James G. Birney and his times,' by William Birney, ex-Brevet Major-General, United States Volunteers. James G. Birney was one of the most potent factors in the early days of abolitionism, and twice he was nominated as the Presidential candidate of the party which afterwards developed into the Republican party and effected the overthrow of slavery. Born in the South and himself a slave-holder, he was in a position, as but few Abolitionists were, to measure the real strength of the slave-holding power and to realize the means necessary for its overthrow. He differed radically from his Northern coadjutors in that he believed that the best way of overthrowing slavery was through political power. The final issue proved the soundness of his position. The book is a thoroughly interesting one.' -Boston Commonwealth.

For use in high schools and academies. In preparing a text-book for students of fifteen, sixteen, or seventeen years, the author has not thought it necessary to make the work childish. It is no "primer of political economy " which is offered, but a substantial course of study. The chief characteristics are: a clear arrangement of topics; a simple, direct, and forcible presentation of the questions successively raised; the avoidance, as far as possible, of certain metaphysical distinctions which the author has found perplexing to students of even a greater age; a frequent repetition of cardinal doctrines; and a liberal use of concrete illustrations, drawn from facts of common experience or observation.
