Though the war has long been ended, and the negro freed, the North and South are still disunited. The author starts from these premises. The negro, he insists, is the cause. He reviews his past and present, points out his opportunities, and shows how he has failed to realize the expectations his best wishers have had for him. The prejudice against him which is not dispelled even when he is improved by education, is a natural race-prejudice, the writer believes, which nothing can ever remove. He is not dying out, but increasing at a rate that already makes him a. dominant factor in many Southern States. If permitted to exercise the political rights the late war, secured him, the result, he believes, would be another civil war. He is no apologist of slavery, but he does not want the negro in this country. His remedy is a wholesale exportation by the government of the negro race to Africa or some other country.

His philosophy renders him totally unimpressionable, but a woman dies for him and with him and they are buried together in a cave. After seven years a brother adept from Bombay recalls him to life, but finding he has given up the doctrines of theosophy he stabs him with a golden needle. The plot is complex and shows skilful workmanship. A useful lesson is taught in a bright, attractive way.

She has considerable musical ability, and the opportunity is offered her, by a kind and wealthy relative, to come to the city and begin her career. She succeeds very well, and grows into a strong and noble character. Her experiences during this period of her education are very interesting.

Milan of the fifteenth century with its fêtes, fights, intrigues, astrology, murders, loves and adventures, furnishes the environment for Sforza, the ruling Duke of Milan. The story deals with the invitation of French intervention in Italy by Sforza. Chevalier Bayard also plays an important part. The romantic element is skilfully handled.

Mention is made of Stephen Hopkins, Governors Carver and Bradford, John Alden, Mary Chilton, Priscilla Mollines, Rose and Myles Standish, and other names famous in New England's annals; but the interest centres in Myles Standish's deeds of prowess, and the quaint, sweet love-story of Priscilla and John.

N. Y. Macmillan & Co., 1889. c. 18+337 p. D. cl., $1.50. In Paris, in 1874, was published Prosper Mérimée's Lettres à une inconnue. It was an event in literature, the volume creating a sensation and inspiring an interest which it has never lost. To-day it is quoted as one of the classics of modern French literature. The letters covered a period of thirty years, breathing at first love, afterwards friendship. It was never known to whom they were addressed. It was believed, however, the unknown correspondent was a real person and not a creature of the imagination. The present volume, said to be from the pen of a brilliant American woman, supplies the other side of the correspondence-the letters written by the "unknown." They are such as a clever, cultured, loving woman might write separated hopelessly from one she loved. *Avery, Adeline B., and Finch, Julie E.

The matter is essentially that presented to his classes in the University of Illinois for a number of years past, a considerable part having been used in the form of a blue-print manuscript text-book. It is now published for the greater convenience of his own students, and with the hope that it may be useful to others. The author believes nearly all of the matter to be entirely new, as he knows of no work which treats of any considerable part of the field covered. The object has been to develop principles and methods and to give such examples as iflustrate them, rather than to accumulate details or to describe individual structures. The following are the subjects: Pt. 1, The materials; 2, Preparing and using the materials: 3, Foundations; 4, Masonry structures. Appendix, Specifications for masonry. 11 *Baker, Ja.

Handbook of psychology: senses and intellect. N. Y., H: Holt & Co., 1889. c. 12+343 p. O. cl., $2.25. The science of psychology is in a state of such enthusiastic and productive specialism, that the author hopes no book will meet the requirements of higher education for more than a generation. "The present volume is the first part of a general view of the mind in its three aspects, the Emotions and Will being treated separately in a second volume which I hope to publish in the near future. By throwing the more difficult and abstract points of discussion into smaller print in the text, I have endeavored to draw a line of demarcation for a more general or a more detailed course of instruction. The Further problems for study,' at the end of each chapter are intended to indicate partially unexplored fields in which students may engage themselves in an original way."- Preface.

Balzac, Honoré de. Bureaucracy (Les employés); or, a civil service reformer; tr. by Katharine Prescott Wormeley. Best., Roberts Bros., 1889. c. tr. 333 p. D. hf. mor., $1 50. "The book is a most careful and exact study of the French civil service of Balzac's time, and it possesses special interest for Americans in the contrasts and parallels which are inevitably suggested by it. Given institutions resembling one another in fundamental form and principle, and there must be resemblances also in their manner of working. It is the seamy side of politics that is here analyzed, the obvious purpose of the author having been to expose the evil influence exercised upon government and public affairs by the growth of an army of office-holders in whom self-interest had killed patriotism, and who, by their incessant intrigue, often paralyzed wholesome and reformatory measures, especially all such as tended to simplify and cheapen the transaction of the public business."-New York Tribune. Balzac, Honoré de. Cousin Pons; tr. by Philip Kent. N. Y., F: Warne & Co., 1889. 4+ 314 p. D. (Library of continental authors, no. 7.) pap., 35 c. Balzac, Honoré de. Louis Lambert; tr. by Katharine Prescott Wormeley; with an introduction by G: F: Parsons. Bost., Roberts Bros., 1889. c. tr. 155+258 p. D. hf. mor., $1.50. In Louis Lambert' all sensual emotion is banshed. We have in this book the study of a great soul encased in a feeble body, wearing out its vehicle, destroying by its vehement manifestation the possibilities of an earthly career, and finally exhausting the organism through which it functions to sucl: an extent that insanity is diagnosed. But it is sufficiently evident to those who bear in mind the scope and drift of Balzac's general plan, that Louis Lambert was not intended to be accepted as a madman, save by those who find it too much trouble to look below the surface, even for truths best deserving research. Balzac in the Comédie Humaine' has studied in turn all types; those below the average level; those upon it; and lastly those above it. Of these latter Louis Lambert is the representative. In him body is subordinated to spirit."-New York Daily Tribune. |
