Tolstof is the well-known Russian author, and the writer of My religion." The present story, which Mr. Dole has so admirably translated and finished with an interesting introduction, was written by him in 1875 It is a most realistic transcript of fashionable life in Moscow, with all its vices and follies fearlessly laid bare. Anna Karénina is the wife of a high official, a man much older than herself and of few attractions, whom she has married, or rather been married to, without any pretence of love She meets a brilliant young officer in society, and a mutual love, with which both are inspired, is the beginning of her downfall. Her course after she leaves her husband for her lover is painful in the extreme-one humiliation after another, finally driving her to suicide. This is a mere outline of the leading motive.

It was written between 1852 and 1855, and was only intended as the beginning of a great novel, covering his whole career, that as yet has not been completed.

Townsend, G: Alfred, [" Gath," pseud.] Katy of Catoctin; or, the chain-breakers: a national romance. N. Y., Appleton, 1886. 2-567 p. D cl., $1.50. Scene is laid in Maryland and around Washingtor This historical novel opens in October, 1859, just before John Brown's raid. The details of that expedition are given, and the death of John Brown vividly described. The election of President Lincoln, the civil war, the murder of Lincoln, the death of John Wilkes Booth, the trial of Mrs. Surratt, and all the leading events which led to and followed the emancipation of the slaves, have been cleverly used to make a story of great merit. Katy of Catoctin is a young, innocent girl, a descendant of the Pennsylvania Dutch, who becomes engaged to the hero after very short acquaintance and remains faithful to him throughout his troublous career. In the descriptions of life among the Tunkers, of natural scenery, and in the study of the characters of John Brown and John Wilkes Booth, Mr. Townsend shows his great versatility and strong English to great advantage. Quotations from the press of those days are skilfully worked into the plot. "Townsend, L. F. Hand-book upon church trials. N Y., Phillips & Hunt, 1889. 75 p. D pap., 25 c. Townsend, Virginia T.

The previous biographies that we have had of him have represented him as utterly corrupt, or have endeavored to prove him a much-slandered man, and very near to perfection, morally. Mr. Traill has chosen a middle course, and aimed to show that he was at least no worse than his contemporaries. His estimate of the earl is summed up in the following paragraph: "Ambition and contentiousness, the love of conflict and the love of power, were the dominant impulses of his career and the all-sufficient explanation of his conduct. He quitted Charles I. for the Parliament, because he saw the avenues of advancement closed against him in the King's service.

O. cl., $3.50: cl. back, $2.50; Roxburgh, $5. Apollonius was a contemporary of Jesus; it was claimed that he was divinely conceived, and that he came with a revelation as the Saviour of humanity; his written lite tells of miracles performed by him in Greece, and of a religion preached by him advocating a morality and virtue far in advance of his age. Mr. Tredwell furnishes a most interesting biography of him based upon the narrative of Philostratus. Its special aim is to show that the main facts in the history of Apollonius are as well attested a the life of Christ. Great care has been taken to describe the people and the countries through which Apollonius travelled as they were in his day; his philosophy, his religion, and his system of ethics are given as they came from his own lips. A prominent feature of the work is the bibliographical references. The work is handsomely printed by De Vinne has broad margins and uncut edges. *Trench, R: Chenevix. The study of words. N. Y., J: B.
