and an expansion of theological and doctrinal questions. There is nothing new in the book, either in matter, treatment, or arrangement; it is merely a restatement of the essential facts of the period. Nevertheless, the author's work is not without merit, for his style is lucid and his presentation interesting. It was of course impossible, in the limited space at his disposal, for Mr. Walker to cover every detail of the Reformation, yet he has succeeded in conveying a very fair impression of the intellectual and religious side of the movement. This has been done for all European countries save England, for which a separate volume in the series is reserved. There is a noticeable impartiality of treatment in the inevitable comparison between the principal reforming leaders, though the author falls in line with modern church writers in ascribing to Melanethon a liberality and efficiency not commonly attributed to him by political and socialistic students. These latter more frequently find his actions not in harmony with the elevated and non-partisan character of his writings, and criticize him for very apparent inconsistencies. Mr. Walker's book is very readable, and will be of service for handy reference.

An interesting account of

Doubtless the horrors of the Chinese capital during the recent murderous the siege of Peking. protest against European aggression are not likely to divest even the most pronounced Christians present of the old Adam that is in them. Still, it is difficult to see why the Reverend William Alexander Parsons Martin, D.D., LL.D., lately president of the Chinese Imperial University and a mandarin of the second class, should have clad himself in heavy marching order, repeating rifle and all, and posed before an American camera for the frontispiece to "The Siege of Peking" (Revell),

announced by the publishers as "the first to tell the story," and the outbreak it describes as "the most unique event in history." Dr. Martin says the siege was the act of the imperial government of China itself, and he breathes the threats against the Chinese, innocent and guilty alike, which have made us wonder recently if Islam and Christendom are not exchanging their places in respect of the manner of tenets and propaganda. There is nothing in Dr. Martin's work to show what has been done by the Christian Powers to provoke the attack, though he admits it was not "wholly unjustifiable." His account is a mixture of the old "Trust in God and keep your powder dry," which has proved so efficacious upon other occasions in the history of the American people, and is interesting, even though it does not make the most of its opportunities to describe the horrors of the siege.

really valuable work, filled with illustrations and maps as it is, is noteworthy among its kind for the sympathy it shows for the natives. There is no attempt at literary expression in the book, but its plain, matter-of-fact manner is more praiseworthy than much fine writing and false patriotism. The hand-book fills a need, and will be useful and valuable to all who would know something of the island that has played so prominent a part in the world's history, and has changed so vastly American policy and traditions.

The art of translating.

on

Teachers and translators of foreign languages will find in Professor Herbert C. Tolman's little book "The Art of Translating" (B. H. Sanborn & Co.) much sound doctrine and helpful suggestion agreeably presented. It is plainly inspired by Cauer's" Die Kunst des Uebersetzens," a practical little manual designed for the use of teachers of the classics, which we would like to see translated into English, Professor Tolman's work being in no sense a translation or an adaptation of it. Professor Tolman also acknowledges his debt to Professor W. G. Hale, to whom, he justly adds, "more than to any other American scholar we owe the practical method of reading Latin now so generally adopted." Professor Tolman's eighty odd pages are replete with the marks of ripe scholarship, and reflection bred of practical experience, and they are 80 brightened with epigram and extract that the reader is lured on pleasantly from chapter to chapter forgetful of the didactive purpose of the author.

Pictures of Shakespeare's country.

There is nothing pleasanter in its kind that we know of than a leisurely jaunt through leafy Warwickshire, rich in shrines and scenic allurements, and as a good pictorial substitute, or preparative, for such a jaunt we take pleasure in calling attention to John Leyland's copiously illustrated thin octavo volume entitled "The Shakespeare Country " (Scribners' Importation). The work is essentially a picture-book, though the plates are accompanied by the indispensable quota of descriptive text. Mr. Leyland is to be unreservedly complimented on his selection of subjects for illustration, and the plates are of good quality mechanically.

BRIEFER MENTION.

Volumes VII. and VIII. of "The World's Orators "

(Putnam), edited by Dr. Guy Carleton Lee, have just been received. The first of these volumes completes the section devoted to Englishmen, and includes ten examples, from Erskine to Gladstone. The other volume, edited with the assistance of Dr. Franklin L. Riley, is devoted to American secular oratory of the eighteenth century. Thirteen men are represented, among them being Otis, Hancock, Warren, Henry, Hamilton, Washington, and Samuel Adams. Ten of the thirteen have portraits. Two more volumes will complete this dignified and valuable work.

The third volume of Professor A. B. Hart's " American History Told by Contemporaries," published by the Macmillan Co., covers the period 1783-1845, and has for its subject "National Expansion." We are glad that this work is nearing completion, because it is of the utmost value to teachers of history in our schools and colleges, and cannot too soon be placed within their reach. The volumes are of such generous dimensions that they really serve to illuminate the subject, which cannot be said of some of the scrappy source books that have recently appeared. There is little benefit to be got from the study of source material unless a large amount of it is made accessible to the student. It requires to be delved in, rather than read consecutively.

Not librarians alone, but private collectors of books as well, will find in Mr. Ainsworth Rand Spofford's "Book for All Readers" (Putnam) a helpful guide in many perplexing matters, and a safe informant upon many subjects that must be of interest to all who live among books and use them intelligently. The twentyseven chapters of this volume are simply packed with pertinent facts relating to their several subjects; such, for example, as bindings, book plates, pamphlets, cataloguing, copyright, and most of the subjects that concern the professional librarian. The product of ripe experience, the work is trustworthy, and has, besides, no little charm of manner.

Four new volumes in Messrs. Silver, Burdett & Co.'s "Silver Series" of English texts for schools provide the following material: Ruskin's "Sesame and Lilies," edited by Miss Agnes S. Cook; Tennyson's "Lancelot and Elaine" and "The Passing of Arthur," edited by Mr. James E. Thomas; Goldsmith's "The Traveller " and "The Deserted Village," edited by Mr. Frederick Tupper; and Arnold's "Sohrab and Rustum," with other poems, edited by Mr. Joseph B. Seabury.

NOTES.

"A Life in Song," a volume of poems by Mr. George Lansing Raymond, is issued in a second edition by Messrs. G. P. Putnam's Sons.

Longfellow's "Giles Corey of the Salem Farms" is published, with stage directions, by Messrs. Houghton, Mifflin & Co. in their "Riverside Literature Series."

"The Principles of Vegetable-Gardening," by Mr. L. H. Bailey, is still another of the series of books upon agricultural and horticultural subjects that this indefatigable writer has been producing during the past few years. It is published by the Macmillan Co.

A new edition of Mr. Robert S. Barrett's "Standard Guide to the City of Mexico," is published in the city with which it is concerned by the Modern Mexico Publishing Co. It seems to be an excellent practical handbook, besides being made attractive by a profusion of illustrations.

Mr. Charles L. Bowman, New York, publishes a new edition of "Hints for Home Reading," edited by Dr. Lyman Abbott. The contents include a series of papers by such men as C. D. Warner, H. W. Beecher, F. B. Perkins, Mr. H. W. Mabie, Dr. E. E. Hale, which are followed by a classified “ Book Buyer's Guide."

A re-issue of "Madame, a Life of Henrietta, Daughter of Charles I., and Duchess of Orleans," by Julia Cartwright (Mrs. Henry Ady), first published in 1894, is imported by Messrs. E. P. Dutton & Co. This care

fully written biography of a singularly attractive and unfortunate princess, with its lesson of courage and patience and cheerfulness, is at all times welcome both to the student and to the general reader, and is none the worse for that tone of perhaps somewhat excessive eulogy which attests the writer's interest in her theme.

"Notes on Speech-making" and "The Philosophy of the Short-Story," both by Professor Brander Matthews, are two small and readable books published by Messrs. Longmans, Green, & Co. The contents of both have before been printed in other forms, but we are glad to have them in the present convenient shape.

“Brush and Pencil," of Chicago, which has come to occupy a place distinctively its own among American art journals, has absorbed "The Collector and Art Critic" of New York, and the latter publication will hereafter cease to exist. "Brush and Pencil" is now edited and owned by Mr. F. W. Morton, and under his supervision the magazine has of late shown marked improvement in appearance and matter.

The map reproductions of Mr. B. F. Stevens of London have for years been well known. Of special value to Americans and all interested in American history is his latest reproduction, "Fac-simile of the Unpublished British Headquarters Map of New York and Environs, 1782." The map is made from the original drawing in the War Office, London, and is in 24 sheets which can be joined and mounted as a whole for wall use, or kept separate in portfolio form. But 100 copies are printed, and are offered on subscription only, by Messrs. B. F. Stevens & Brown, London, England.

A German edition of an American scientific monograph is not often met with, although this compliment to sound scholarship is not undeserved by a good many of our recent academic productions. Such an honor has recently been paid to Professor John H. Huddilston, and we have just received (Freiburg i. Br.: Fehsenfeld) a handsomely-printed brochure entitled "Die Griechische Tragödie im Lichte der Vasenmalerei," in which we promptly recognize the substance of a monograph published in English two or three years ago. The translation is by Fräulein Maria Hense.

Fitzedward Hall, one of the greatest of American philologists and Oriental scholars, died on the first of February, at his home in Marlesford, England. He was born in New York, in 1825, and was educated at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and Harvard College. In the latter institution he was a classmate of Childs, Lane, and Mr. C. E. Norton. An unexpected trip to India in search of a runaway brother, proved a turningpoint in his life, and enlisted him in the ranks of orientalists. He remained in India until 1862, occupying various government posts, returning only for a vacation in 1859, when Oxford made him a D.C.L. For seven years, he made his home in London, where he served in various capacities as professor, librarian, and examiner. In 1869, he removed to Marlesford, where the rest of his days were spent. Here he completed his edition of the "Vishnupurana," and began the series of works on English philology by which he is best known to English and American scholars. His services to the "New English Dictionary" and to the "Dialect Dictionary" were very great, and were given with no other thought than that of advancing the science to which his life was devoted. Readers of THE DIAL will remember the many contributions with which he has enriched its pages, and will join with the many thousands of scholars who deplore his death.
