Piercing to the true significance of the moral that really underlies these legends, the two poets we have named draw forth the genuine worth that lies at the core of their story; and, by their treatment of it, making its manifestation their first object, they attain a freshness beyond that of many modern writers, while they gain a unity in their work which earlier bards failed to achieve."

Our author, though his regard for the wellfare of the people is equally undoubted, does not share the sympathetic optimism of Mr. Monier Williams with regard to their religion. He writes from a standpoint somewhat markedly neutral and unembarrassed; his deductions from the phenomena with which his Indian career has made him familiar are worked out with equal caution and acuteness, in a clear, fresh, incisive style which is very attractive, though with occasionally an ultra-Socratic familiarity of illustration." næum, Nov. 25, 1882.

"Dr. Martineau seems chiefly attracted by his purely metaphysical power and grasp, and criticises with unflagging interest one abstract conception after another, without apparently realizing that there is no school of Spinozistic metaphysicians needing to be convinced or confuted. This able little volume is to be recommended as a help to those who wish to study Spinoza for themselves rather than as an account of his doctrines dispensing from such study. The criticism is suf ficiently candid not to mislead those who have the text before them; but those who do not care to undertake this labour had better be content with unprejudiced ig norance, or commit themselves to the more sympathetic guidance of Mr. Pollock." - Edith Simcox in the Academy, Oct. 28, 1882. "In this biography we find the old felicity and subtlety combined with a dramatic narrative, which we had not formerly seen in the works of Dr. Martineau. He has been able to weave all the correspondence of Spinoza into the texture of the biography, and he has dwelt in detail on the order in which Spinoza's works were com. posed, so that we are enabled to trace the growth of his system.

Such jests, such liquor, such good fel. lowship are things of a golden past, and will nevermore be included in the fortune of man. The new generation knows them not, and would not greatly care for them if it did. Nowadays Bohemia makes money and cultivates a reputation, and is skilled in the metrical forms of France, and takes a quiet cup of tea at its club. In the presence of a Bohemia of this sort- staid, prim, ambitious, a trifle pedantic- the Bohemianism of these Reminiscences' assumes an aspect at once antiquated and pathetic, as of a dodo in some modern farmyard, as of a megatherium in the Zoological Gardens." - Athe naum, Sept. 9, 1882.

Baron von Reumont ... gives us sketches of all Gino's friends and acquaintances, political and liter ary; he makes a valuable contribution to Italian literary history.
