"The strongest point in Finlayson's criticism of Mr. Drummond's theory of spiritual biogenesis is his demon. stration that the New Testament contains so many dif ferent metaphors for describing conversion that to confine one's self to the figure of the creation of life alone, is to fall into a serious error. He quotes the passage 'Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light;' and continues Here the man who is spiritually dead is actually called upon to arise out of his death. Such an exhortation may well caution us against turning metaphors into laws. This sentence contains in brief the gist of the whole criticism of Mr. Drummond's book.". Spectator, Oct. 31.

Such a study Miss Lyall has giv en us. The golden days are the days of Charles II., and those days when they were at their darkest, just before the end of the King's reign when the surface goodnature which had looked like real kindness of heart had worn off, and revealed the cruel nature beneath.

"Ce livre est curieux et mème amusant. M. de Martel a enterpris de faire connaître le degré de confiance que M. Thiers mérite comme historien; il emploie un moyen très simple; il met en face des dires de M. Thiers les documents que l'auteur de l'Histoire du Consulat, et de l'Empire,' a consultés ou prétendu consulter; il conclut que à tout instant M. Thiers écrit exactment le contraire de ce que contiennent les pieces.... Peut-on dire que, malgré tant de défauts, tant de rapidités et d'à peuprès, M. Thiers ait été un historien fantaisiste?' Après tout, son œuvre est énorme; elle embrasse une vaste pé. riode pleine de grands événements de toute sorte, et dans ce vaste recit auquel manquent trop souvent les recherches exactes et minutieuses, circule néanmoins l'esprit général des choses. Blâmons les détails, regrettons que les menus faits ne soient pas toujours fidelement preséntés, mais l'ensemble demeure, l'ensemble est animé du souffle de cette intelligence que M. Thiers regardait comme la qualité essentielle de l'historien. et on y trouve en outre, selon un mot de Sainte-Beuve, ce don de narrer que n'ont pas bien des esprits intelligents." A.
