Thy name is truth; a social novel. [18-]. 3 v. VT423 "Its writer is a young Irish lady,and the book is 'racy of the soil.' She has studied men, women, and things, with quick intelligence, keen appreciation, and the ready sympathy that gives the last vivifying touch to the characters portrayed and the scenes depicted. There is a heroine who is as individual, and as independent as any of Mr. Henry James's analytical, young females, but worth a score of them by reason of her wholesomeness, her godliness, and her contentment; a hero who is a good fellow, full of talent, and honest of purpose; and a villain quite manifestly concocted, and not a bit like a real, live villain." - Spectator, Nov. 3, 1883.

"The fault charged upon Austin's great work on jurisprudence is, according to Professor Clark, that' Austin considers political societies only at an advanced period of their existence, and denies the name of law to that which has been keeping them together for ages, because it does not square with his own logical conception." The fault charged upon the historical school of jurists, is that they live in the past, dwell exclusively upon that which was, and lose sight of that which ought to be.' Professor Clark's object appears to be to connect the labours of Austin with the labours of the historical jurists."- Athenæum, Dec. 27. Collingwood, W. G.

"What one misses most in these letters is instinct, intensity, vividness. They are the letters of slow, and somewhat too sweet reflectiveness, out of which the vi. vacity of strong personal impression seems to have vanished altogether. Taken as a whole this 'Life' leaves us with the impression of a lofty mind of singularly feeble instincts, and singularly amiable sentiments, - somewhat slow and elaborate in its movements, and almost artificially judicial in its attitude towards every new intellectual claim.

"This short treatise has a value in inverse proportion to its length. The discussion last summer at Concord concerning immortality gave Mr. Fiske an opportunity for claiming that Darwinism instead of degrading, elevates man, that theism and the belief in immortality rest on more solid foundations than ever. He aflirms that the Darwinian theory, properly understood, replaces as much theology as it destroys. Mr. Fiske's reasons for belief in immortality are not new. But his conclusions are striking, because reached by a comparatively untrodden path. If criticism were to be made

...

it would be directed towards the view taken of the actual processes of evolution. It may be questioned also whether geology and biology have yet come to so explicit an agreement concerning time as Mr. Fiske's quiet assumption would imply. But these criticisms do not touch the rea! purpose of the book. Its value will be found in the reassurances it may bring to those who cannot deny many of the conclusions of evolution, yet who fear its effects on religious beliefs, and also in the evidence it affords, that the spiritual in man is su preme, and must be recognized from whatever side the approach may be taken." - George Harris in the Andover review, Jan.

The history of the diplomacy of the eighteenth century is, therefore, of the greatest importance, and it is the point on which least light has been thrown. For others than students of diplomatic history the chief interest of the volume will be found in its portraits of the Austrian statesmen and the foreign ambassadors at Vienna, which are sketched for the instruction of the departing envoys.
