The present volume is issued in compliance with suggestions coming from both sides of the Atlantic. Several of the essays it contains appeared originally in publications not easily accessible, yet embody results of the highest value to students of the New Testament, whether in its textual or its historical aspects. Besides the elaborate discussions of debatable textual questions, room has been found for a few of those papers in which Dr. Abbot addresses general readers in a style alike lucid, attractive, and authoritative. Abbot, Willis J. Battlefields of '61: a narrative of the military operations of the war for the Union up to the end of the Peninsular campaign; il. by W. C. Jackson. N. Y., Dodd, Mead & Co., [1889.] c. 10+356 p. il. and map, O. cl., $3. It is the first period of the war, "of measuring strength," of which the author tells the story. Beginning with the bombardment of Fort Sumter, and ending with the disastrous failure of General McClellan's Peninsular campaign, it comprehended many notable victories for both Federals and Confederates. The story is told in the same popular, graphic style as "Blue jackets of '61," "Blue jackets of 1812," and "Blue jackets of '76," by the same author. *Abbott, Austin.

Mr. Abbott's field of observation was again New Jersey, of whose wealth of living creatures he told us so many interesting things in "A naturalist's rambles about 'home." Again he describes the inhabitants of the fields and waters, finding new specimens and new traits of former specimens, with which to embellish his articles, He writes as only an enthusiastic lover of the animal kingdom can write, and displays a minute observation and patience that is quite marvellous. The twelve chapters are named from the twelve months, each embracing the characteristic features of the time of year. Some of the chapters have already been printed in Harper's Young People, The American, the Popular Science Monthly, and Garden and Forest. Abbott, Lyman. Signs of promise: sermons preached in Plymouth pulpit, Brooklyn, 18879. N. Y., Fords, Howard & Hulbert, 1889. C. 3-301 p. D. cl., $1.50.

Then Geoffrey meets his fate in Alexia, the fair granddaughter of an old fisherman, who has been carefully educated by some Sisters of the Anglican Church.
