Notes on the pictures of Holman Hunt, exhibited at the rooms of the Fine Art Society, 1886. Russell, Col. F. S. The Earl of Peterborough and Monmouth, C: Mordaunt; a memoir. 2 v. "Colonel Russell does not confine himself either to the Spanish campaigns or the military career of his hero. He has sought to paint Lord Peterborough as a whole, and to bring before us as accurately as pos sibly his individuality. This book gives an insight into his whimsical and complex character, details of his romantic life, and the singular combination of audacity and prudence, of careful preparation and extemporized devices, which made him one of the best partisan lead. ers of any age or country. Its chief fault is that it rather overlays biography with history."— Athenæum, Apr. 9.

Rutherford, M., pseud. The revolution in Tanner's Lane; ed. by R. Shapcott.

"The writer, or, as he prefers to call himself, the editor, of the Autobiography of Mark Rutherford' has the good fortune, which he well deserves, to be remem. bered by appreciative readers from one to another of his rare books. His work is striking and powerful, and in many respects it stands apart from that of most of his contemporaries. The heart of the book is not in the outward adventures of a man, but in their effects on his mind and soul, in the marvelously true, clear, and and simple delineation of mental things." Athenæum, Apr. 16.

Samuels, Capt. S: From the forecastle to the

"Captain Samuels tells his story as he sailed his ships, in a straightforward, energetic, business-like way, which at once wins the reader's confidence, and holds it to the end. Short of the chronicle of Baron Munchauson's adventures, we do not recall any book which records so many disastrous chances, moving accidents by flood and field, and hair-breadth 'scapes as are here written down by this Yankee descendant of the vik. ings."- - Lit. world, Apr. 16.

Geometrical psychology; or, the science of representation; an abstract of [his] theories and diagrams by L.. S. Cook. "Mr. Betts's idea is to the following effect. You may represent anything by lines and curves. But particu lar lines and curves represent some things much better than other things, and in fact, given a line or a curve, or a collection of lines and curves there will be something of which it is truly and naturally representative. For instance, a dotted circuit represents 'abstract consciousness or bare ego.' An ordinary line from the centre, the ego, outwards,' represents perception. These discoveries represent the beginning of Mr. Betts's idea. When the principle is once grasped, it requires only attention and some knowledge of mathematics, with a constant adherence to the principles that all activity is polar, that all life is male or female, and that all the world is either east or west, to make a perfectly accurate symbological picture of any soul, body, or other thing concerning which you have or require any inform ation. Mr. Betts's life-work has consisted in the preparation of some two score of diagrams, for which Miss Cook has written the letterpress." - Saturday rev., Apr. 2.

"We do not believe that any one will be able to form a conception of the peculiar charm of these folk-songs from the English renderings in this volume. The author herself seems to be conscious of this, for she says: I wish it therefore understood that I consider my rendering entirely in the light of a rimed vocabulary,' not as poetry. When regarded from this point of view, the book has considerable merits. The choice of poems

Her account of the war in Alsace-Lorraine collated from abundant contemporary sources is given with vigour, a fine spirit of convic tion, and an abundance of romance and picturesque detail.

"Though the direct bearings of the arguments contained in this essay,' Mr. Spencer says, are biological, the argument contained in its first half has indirect bearings upon psychology, ethics, and sociology. My belief in the profound importance of these indirect bearings was originally a chief prompter to set forth the argument, and it now prompts me to reissue it in permanent form. In the first half, after describing his original seceptance of the Lamarckian doctrine of evolution, and the enlarged view of the factors of evolution, that was the consequence of the publication of the Origin of species,' he goes on to ask whether the process brought into view by Darwin, taken alone, accounts for organic evolution, as is now supposed by many naturalists. The answer is that utterly inadequate to explain the major part of the facts as is the hypothesis of the inheritance of functionally-produced modifications, yet there is a minor part of the facts, very extensive though less, which must be ascribed to this cause."- Mind, April.
