portions of the Bible seem more plainly errant in morals than in any other direction. There could hardly be a spiritual enigma more insoluble and confusing than the assertion that God sent pestilence to consume the people because David had unwisely numbered them. Neither of these authors seems to have the slightest apprehension that Christianity is not very closely associated with these theories, and is not likely to suffer from their failure. On the other hand, this notion of inspiration they regard as lying at the very centre of belief. It may be important to a given doctrinal system, but it has very little to do Iwith a divine life. The next two volumes are of a very different spirit. Though not offered as defenses of Christianity, they subserve that purpose more effectively than the two which precede them on our list. In "The Age of Faith" indicates an author more impressed by the new hold of men's minds on religious truth, than by the sceptical attacks which. the outworn attitudes of belief have suffered. deed, this very scepticism is often but another expression of faith. The burden of the book is the Fatherhood of God, and it is fitted to bring instruction, courage, and contentment to many minds. Dr. Bradford is an excellent example of a “ successful preacher "--both words used in their best sense - suited to the time in which he lives. Dogma plays but a small part in his volume. The iron in the smelting pot is thoroughly fused, and comes forth a glowing stream ready for the mould in which it is to be cast. The method of presentation is literary and impressional rather than philosophical. A mind and heart, warmed by the divine goodness, strive to make that goodness more tangible to man, and this with reasons that appeal to every man's life. In That the underlying philosophy does not always touch bottom is seen in the brief Introduction, which affirms two incompatible things: Revelation brought to the test of reason, and an infallible guide. fallibility cannot be a living pertinent fact to a thoroughly fallible man, whose primary dependence is his own reason. "Jesus Christ and the Social Question" is a book to which we wish to give the warmest welcome, both for its own sake, and because of the aptness of its message. It is a book of diligent inquiry and wise insight not of information but of knowledge. No one interested, both in social growth and Christianity, can afford to overlook it. It is the spirit of Christianity brought to the very world in which that most divine revelation has been made. It helps to unite the two, the mind of Christ and the wants of men, in a Kingdom of Heaven. Here is defence where alone an adequate defence can be found, in a simple exposition of the Christlike temper as a fact among the facts of this human spiritual world of whose needs we know something. It treats specifically of the teaching of Christ in connection with the family, with wealth, the care of the poor, and industrial order. If the flood of religious literature casts ashore occasionally such a volume as this, let it remain at high-water mark. Dr. Gordon is so profoundly interested both practically and speculatively in the present wide and general changes of faith as to make his words stimulating, aside from any exact agreement with his conclusions. He offers a favorable example of a deeper concurrence in the present force of our religious life than that formed in a system of belief. "The New Epoch for Faith expresses the enthusiasm with which he regards the present movements in the religious world. The last portion of the volume is occupied with a forecast of the developments which are to be anticipated in social and spiritual life; and the body of the book, with the influences which are to contribute to this growth. Chief among these influences are the broader, deeper sense of human life; the new appreciation of the true Christian temper which comes with it; the discipline of doubt; the rooting of faith in fresh soil; the better interpretation of history. Salvation is thus deeply incorporated in the human spirit, and in its spiritual unfolding. It is no more to be missed or to miscarry than are the great purpose and process of Creation. One can not anticipate many readers for "The Philosophy of Religion," though he can not fail to recognize the knowledge and industry of the author. It is a history of the doctrine of theism in England and America since the reformation. Indeed, simply as an historical sketch, it is capricious, omitting and including authors according to the interest felt in them by the writer. As a critical production, it is too fearfully analytic. Everything falls apart. There is no synthetic purpose, no pushing of conclusions to a definite result. Thus, more than ninety compact octavo pages are expended on an analysis of theism, which issues in thirteen distinct varieties, each to be presented at length in a series of writers. One must have great interest in naked facts to get pleasure out of such a presentation. This simple rehearsal of facts without handling them is to most persons wearisome and barren. JOHN BASCOM. The Italy of the artists. BRIEFS ON NEW BOOKS. A book on "Italian Cities" (Scribners), by Mr. and Mrs. Blashfield, makes us at first feel a desire for pictures; we want illustrations. This may be rather unreasonable, for we believe that the painting of cities is not exactly Mr. Blashfield's forte. Perhaps we are led astray by recollection of Mr. Pennell's drawings and etchings for Mr. Howells. These sketches (non-pictorial) are very different from those of Mr. Howells, who writes as an observing traveller, having his guide-book quite frankly in hand or in his trunk. Such a one needs pictures, and is lucky to have Mr. Pennell instead of having to depend on photographers. Mr. and Mrs. Blashfield do not themselves appear much in their book. The papers are historical and artistic, chiefly (of course) on history and art in the Renaissance. Well-worn as much about Italy has become, we have here a good deal which if not new is at least not hackneyed. Rather out-of-the-way places, Florence, of course, and Siena, but also Ravenna, Spoleto, Parma (because of Correggio), Cortona, Assisi, Mantua. Still, so much is written of Italy and read even to-day, that it is a bold hand that writes a new book. Not only Mr. Howells comes to mind, but the differing reminiscences of Mr. Hewlett with his earthwork, M. Paul Bourget and his so-called sensations, not to mention Vernon Lee's tortuous dialogues and musings among the ilex-groves and other such places. Mr. and Mrs. Blashfield do not strike a new note a good deal of the book is of the highly-colored imaginative tapestry sort of revival of the glowing and glorious life of the Renaissance centuries, and for this, we confess, we do not care. It is apt to surfeit; it is sweetness not long-drawn-out but thick-spread-on. Aside from this "word-painting," however, there is a good deal that is simpler and surer in touch, and that really gives some of the specific aspects of the time and more particularly some of the artistic qualities of the masters. Thus it is pleasant to hear that Giotto did not neglect stuffs, and paint blades of grass because he wished to glorify God, but because he was quite sincere in being as realistic as he could be and in pushing his work as far as he could go: since he was unable to paint stuffs as well as blades of grass, he omitted detail in one and inserted it in the other. This example of the way an artist looks at the thing is interesting to a generation fed on the art-criticism of moralists. There is a good deal that is interesting in the book; two volumes are a little cloying, but no one need read them all at once. Graphic pictures of East London. The Century Co. have made a handsome book of Sir Walter Besant's interesting articles on "East London," with the illustrations by Messrs. Phil May, Joseph Pennell, and L. Raven-Hill. The present volume, unlike the author's previous books on London, has little to do with history or antiquities, for the reason that the area described in it can hardly be said to have either. East London that is to say, the area lying east of Bishopsgate Street Without and north of the Thames, the region east of the river Lea, and the aggregation of now conterminous towns that were once the suburban villages called Hackney, Clapton, Stoke Newington, Stepney, etc. is virtually a modern industrial city, a swarming hive of trade and manufacture, as unlike its ancient neighbor of Westminster as sooty Glasgow is unlike the picturesque and storied congeries of wynds and courts and time-worn structures that form Old Edinburgh. The distinctive note of Sir Walter's book on East London, as compared with its predecessors on "South London," "Westminster," etc., is its human and modern interest, its close portrayal of the elements and types that the seeing eye discerns in the outwardly common and prosaic hurly-burly of toil and traffic, coarse pleasure-taking, and headlong hunt of the guinea or, alas! more often of the irreducible and indispensable halfpenny, that sums up life in the main at the East End. Sir Walter's pen is graphic, his knowledge of his theme exhaustless, and his soul is full of sympathy for the toils and sorrows, the dim-lit lives of London's workers in the rank and file; nor does the hopeless human derelict, adrift, rudderless, and bound to no haven here below, fail to win his charitable, appealing word. The pictures have the uplifting touch of art, and a word of praise must be given to the felicitous cover-design. "Manbuilding." When the author of "Man-building" (Scribner), Dr. Lewis Ransom Fiske, tells us that he "sought a title for this book which would clearly express its character," he explains without enlightening. This "Treatise on Human Life and its Forces" is composed of an introductory, a psychological, a physiological, and a sociological part. Out of this composite is supposed to emerge a potent elixir that shall arouse the talents, quicken the energies, and enlarge the opportunities of the young. The volume is in fact added to an already swollen literature without any genuine raison d'être. It is composed without insight, written without adornment or attraction, scattered through and through with vague and pointless generalities, displays a painfully weak grasp on the vital issues that are presented, and has no powers to charm, instruct, impress, enlighten, or (to add in fairness) mislead. Good intentions do not furnish a highway for profitable or attractive travel; on the contrary we are proverbially informed that paving of this kind is in use in the dwelling-places of moral failure. Neither do fervor and interest furnish the means for an intellectual success. Criticism is misdirected against such a work as Man-building"; it is sufficient to point out its negative significance, its failure to contribute anything to the information or the inspiration or the accessibility of the world's knowledge. It has, indeed, the weakly exhortative and strongly tiresome tone that we encounter when we take down from a neglected shelf a dusty volume of "moral and mental philosophy" of a half-century or more ago. Plain tales of the sea. 66 As an unvarnished account of actual life before the mast in the merchant and the naval service, we have read few books as good as Mr. Stanton H. King's "DogWatches at Sea" (Houghton). Mr. King, who sailed the brine, as boy and man, for twelve years, is now superintendent of the Sailors' Haven, Charlestown, Mass., a snug berth no doubt to bring up in after much knocking about in all sorts of ships and all sorts of weather. What we like most about Mr. King is that he is content to tell a plain Ellery Channing, Theodore Parker, Horace Bushnell, Henry Ward Beecher, and Phillips Brooks. It may be doubted whether this assignment does not lay a disproportionate emphasis upon the six preachers selected, especially in view of the ostensible purpose to show the relation of the clergy to American letters. It is, however, the preacher as such that one principally sees, although the titles of literary works, and frequently something more, are conscientiously given. A strictly literary historian would have allowed greater space to strictly literary work, and would have regarded the whole more consistently from the literary standpoint. The opening chapters call for a power to seize upon essentials, and to express them in clear and concise English, a power not always conspicuously present; but the chapters furnishing oppor tale without "penny-dreadful" trimmings, and that he does not plainly lay himself out (as even Mr. Bullen does sometimes) to "make your flesh creep, as the fat boy in Pickwick said to Mr. Wardle. Mr. King's adventures, stirring enough many of them, were of the regular kind that every sailor is bound to have if he sails long enough. He has a sensible word to say of the American deep-water ships, usually described as unmitigated "floating hells" officered by fiends incarnate. Mr. King admits that he has at times seen men wantonly abused by "bucko mates" on these vessels; but he asserts, what everyone of experience knows to be true, that the precarious rule of the half-dozen officers of a deep-water ship over the average ship's crew is in many cases only to be maintained by violence or a show of it. A sort of reign of terror has to be instituted at the start as the only alter-tunity to treat individual preachers at length are native to shirking, insubordination, and possible mutiny. Your "Christian captain" would get on beautifully with a Christian crew; but the gang that usually herds in the forecastle of a deep-water ship is anything but Christian the more shame to us for it. Mr. King's in its kind capital book is handsomely printed, and it contains four acceptable pictures after drawings by Charles Copeland. Recollections of an exile of the American Revolution. The little volume containing the "Recollections of a Georgia Loyalist" (Mansfield), by Elizabeth Lichtenstein Johnston, tells in artless style the story of the adventures and wanderings, during and after the war of the American Revolution, of the daugh ter of one of the numerous Southern families who remained true to King and Parliament after the Colonies had declared for independence. After the success of the "rebellion" was assured there was a great exodus of "Tories," for of amnesty to the vanquished there was little or no sign. The author of the "Recollections" fled first to Florida, then to Scotland, then to the West Indies, and finally to Novia Scotia, where she settled, and where her descendants now form a family of social and political note. The narrative was penned by Mrs. Johnston in 1836, when she was seventy-two. As a family memorial it is doubtless of much interest; and the general reader may find in it glimpses of a side of our early history not so familiar as it should be. The relation of the clergy to American letters. "The Clergy in American Life and Letters (Macmillan), by Rev. Daniel Dulany Addison, aims, as the preface states, mainly "to tell the story of the influence upon American life and letters of the clergy during the national era of American literature." The important qualification in the last clause accounts for the dismissal of Cotton Mather with half-a-dozen lines, and for the estimate of Jonathan Edwards in thrice as many. The plan of the book is to treat the work of a great many clergymen in four introductory chapters, and then to give a chapter each to Timothy Dwight, William generally just, appreciative, and vigorous. It is no more than fair to say that the author manifestly is dealing with a familiar subject, upon which his genuine interest and prolonged study have been industriously employed. "yarns" of the sea. An interesting series of sea "yarns" Some interesting and recollections written by Mr. Frank T. Bullen for the "Spectator' are neatly reprinted in a volume of some 380 pages entitled "A Sack of Shakings" (McClure, Phillips & Co.). "Shakings," we find, is the name given to the odds and ends of rope and canvas accumulated on sailing-ships during a voyage, which were The term formerly the perquisites of the Mate. aptly describes the somewhat miscellaneous contents of the present volume, which is, however, lifted above the average book of its class by the really magical bits of description that stud its pages. Mr. Bullen has the gift of the seeing eye and the luminous word, and there is at times a touch of something akin to genius in his writing. But we wish he would eschew dialect and the melodramatic, pitfalls into which he is somewhat prone to stray. J. Fenimore Cooper. Continued interest in J. Fenimore A new biography of Cooper is attested by the inviting little biography by Mr. W. B. Shubrick Clymer, in the series known as "The Beacon Biographies" (Small, Maynard & Co.). Of necessity considerably dependent upon Lounsbury, the author yet makes profitable use of hitherto unpublished letters, and clearly knows the nooks and corners of his subject at first hand. Within the narrow limits of his volume he finds room for an interesting account of the public disputes that embittered Cooper's latter years, in which appear the novelist's fearlessness, his love of justice, and his accuracy as a naval historian. Cooper, it appears, was usually right in his main contention, and, moreover, was sustained by the courts. He made favorable impression upon such men as Parkınan the historian, Morse the inventor of the telegraph, and Balzac of the "Comédie Humaine." His biographer shows that Cooper, despite his long unpopularity with his countrymen, was throughout a lover of America and her institutions. No one will now deny his title as creator of at least one or two wholly original characters in English fiction. Mr. Clymer does not spare Cooper's novels of lower rank, while sufficiently praising his best. The biographer's style is necessarily condensed, now and then almost blunt, sometimes picturesque, and always clear. NOTES. "The Common Sense of Commercial Arithmetic," by Mr. George Hall, is published by the Macmillan Co. A new life of Sir Walter Scott, by Professor William Henry Hudson of Stanford University, is announced by the A. Wessels Co. The Laurel Press of New York will issue at an early date a limited edition de luxe of the "Amoretti" or Love Sonnets of Edmund Spenser. Messrs. Little, Brown, & Co. publish a new edition of Mrs. Fawcett's "Life of Her Majesty Queen Victoria," with a special introduction by Mrs. Bradley Gilman. 66 Early Days in Maple Land," by Miss Katherine A. Young, is a book of readings in Canadian history for young children. Messrs. James Pott & Co. are the publishers. "Religion in Literature and Life," by the Rev. Stop ford A. Brooke, is a little book of two essays, beautifully printed at the Merrymount Press, and published by the Messrs. Crowell. Mr. Thomas Whittaker has nearly ready a new collection of sermons by Dean Farrar, entitled "True Religion." This will form the initial volume in a series of "Preachers of To-Day." A series of volumes descriptive of famous private presses is in preparation by the Kirgate Press of Canton, Pa. The first volume will be devoted to the Strawberry Hill Press of Horace Walpole. The "Modern German Literature" of Dr. Benjamin W. Wells has just been reissued by Messrs. Little, Brown, & Co. in an enlarged edition which describes the latest developments in the literature of the Empire. An "Intermediate Physiology and Hygiene," by Dr. Winfield S. Hall and Mrs. Jeannette Winter Hall, and "The New Century Primer of Hygiene," by Mrs. Hall, are recent elementary school publications of the American Book Co. Mr. George Gissing's novel, “Our Friend the Charlatan," will be issued by Messrs. Henry Holt & Co. early in the present month. The same publishers also announce a new novel by Mr. John Oxenham entitled "Our Lady of Deliverance." Mr. Wm. R. Jenkins is now the publisher of "The Complete Pocket Guide to Europe," edited by Mr. E. C. Stedman and Dr. Thomas L. Stedman. This useful book has just made its annual reappearance, revised to date, and as compact and serviceable as ever. "Some Ill-Used Words," by Mr. Alfred Ayres, is a useful manual by the author of "The Orthoëpist " and "The Verbalist.' The title is self-explanatory, and the earlier books of Mr. Ayres will commend the new one to popular favor. The Messrs. Appleton are the publishers. "A Little Book of Tribune Verse," by Eugene Field, will form the first publication of Messrs. Tandy, Wheeler & Co., a new firm of Denver publishers. The book Field to the "Denver Tribune" during the two years in will include practically all of the verse contributed by which he was associate editor of that paper. The "French Dramatists of the 19th Century," by Mr. Brander Matthews, is republished by the Messrs. Scribner in a third edition, with an added chapter on the work of the last decade of the century. This is one of the best of the many books that Professor Matthews has given us, and will be welcome in its latest form. Mr. Richard James Cross has made a selection of choice passages from the "Divina Commedia," and published them through Messrs. Henry Holt & Co. in a pretty volume with originals and English translations facing each other on opposite pages. The beginner in Dante will find this book a pleasant and serviceable pocket companion. The books of Henry Ward Beecher, hitherto published by Messrs. Fords, Howard & Hulbert, have recently been acquired by The Pilgrim Press, of Chicago and Boston. The titles include the original Plymouth Pulpit Sermons in five volumes, four volumes of later sermons, four miscellaneous works, and a life of Beecher by Mr. J. R. Howard. "Atkinson's Ganot" has been for the past quartercentury one of the most popular text-books of physics, and in its present (ninth) edition enters, we trust, upon a prolongation of its career of usefulness. The revision is by Professor H. W. Reinold, and the publishers are Messrs. Longmans, Green, & Co. "Natural Philosophy for General Readers and Young People" is the title. Messrs. D. C. Heath & Co. publish "A French Grammar for Schools and Colleges," by Professors H. W. Fraser and J. Squair of the University of Toronto. The volume includes a brief French reader and a great supply of English exercises. The same publishers also send us a volume of "Exercises in French Syntax and Composition," by Miss Jeanne M. Bouvet of the Chicago High School. The success attending Messrs. L. C. Page & Co.'s edition of the French historical memoirs of Lady Jackson has led the same firm to undertake a reprint in similar form of the English historical memoirs of John Heneage Jesse, covering the period from the beginning of the reign of James the First to the time of George the Third. The edition will comprise thirty volumes, fifteen of which will be issued this Spring. Messrs. D. C. Heath & Co. have just published two volumes of much interest, intended for supplementary reading in schools as well as for young readers outside of school. "Stories of Pioneer Life for Young Readers" is by Miss Florence Bass, and "Strange Peoples is by Professor Frederick Starr. A work of allied interest and usefulness is the volume of "Wigwam Stories," told by Miss Mary Catherine Judd, and published by Messrs. Ginn & Co. Dr. George Willis Botsford's "History of Greece " has proved one of the most satisfactory of recent textbooks, and is widely used in the best high schools and academies. A constituency is thus ready and waiting for "A History of Rome" by the same author, now published by the Macmillan Co. The work takes the student down to the time of Charlemagne, thus fitting itself to the division of the field of general history most favored by educational authorities. LIST OF NEW BOOKS.
