[blocks in formation]

First, Second, and Third Series, 1849-1867, bound in One Volume, facility of reference being secured by having the edges differently coloured, as in the Post-Office Directory.

"An index to a book of miscellaneous character is what a key is to a lock. The casket may contain articles of almost infinite value; there may be in it something you have long missed, or the very paper you especially desire to find. Turn you the key and know' is the advice of Shakespeare. If there be no key or, being one, you have it not, you must remain unsatisfied. Just so with Notes and Queries. The contents of the Third Series are multifarious, there being few subjects of literary inquiry which are not touched upon in some of the 10,000 or 15,000 articles it contains. To grope through the whole is next to impossible, and, therefore, inquirers will be grateful for the General Index just issued, which will enable them at once to turn to the part of the volume which they desire to consult. But what the publisher calls the United General Index,' in which the indexes to the three series are bound in one volume (facility of reference to each index being assured by having its edge differently coloured, as in the divisions of the PostOffice Directory), may be called a master key, since it opens the door to information upon some 50,000 different headings, relating to almost every conceivable subject. So that, even to those who do not possess Notes and Queries, this United General Index will prove a very useful library companion."-Times, Jan. 13, 1869.

Corner of Chancery Lane.

"The production of Note-paper of a superior kind has long been the subject of experiment with manufacturers, but until lately no improvement could be made on that in general use, and therefore it was looked upon as certain that extreme excellence had been attained; but this conclusion did not seem satisfactory to Messrs. PARTRIDGE & COOPER, of Fleet Street, who determined to continue operations until some new result was attained. Sheer perseverance has been rewarded, for they have at last been able to produce a new description of paper, which they call CLUBHOUSE NOTE, that surpasses anything of the kind in ordinary use. The new paper is beautifully white, its surface is as smooth as polished ivory, and its substance nearly resembles that of vellum, so that the writing thereon presents an extraordinary clearness and beauty. A steel pen can be used upon it with the facility of a goose quill, and thus one great source of annoyance has been completely superseded." -Sun.

ENGLAND RENDERED IMPREGNABLE by the practical Military Organization

and efficient Equipment of her National Forces; and her Present Position, Armament, Coast Defences, Administration, and Future Power considered. By H. A. L., "The Old Shekarry." With Illustrations. 8vo, 218. "Space precludes us from following throughout his elaborate scheme "The whole question of national defence is dealt with, and in many of army reorganization, for which the book itself must be consulted; cases the ideas put forth are both practical and suggestive." suffice it to say that, while some of his ideas are perhaps in advance of United Service Gazette. public opinion, most of them are well worth the attentive consideration "Another book called forth by the inefficient state of our armaments. of our administration."-Morning Post. The writer gives his views on many points, with practical suggestions as to the constitution and organization of our regular and reserve forces. But the chapters to which the Old Shekarry's' hunting experiences give especial value are those in which he describes the most efficient rifle and the best kit for actual campaigning."-Globe.

"We are glad to see that Mr. Sargent and Mr. Dallin select their models from a more extended range of Greek and Latin authors than boys at school or undergraduates at college usually consult.......................The volume, we may honestly say, is the most original and valuable work of its kind in existence."-Globe.

DICTIONARY of DOCTRINAL and HISTORICAL THEOLOGY. By Various

Writers. Edited by the REV. JOHN HENRY BLUNT, M.A., F.S.A., Editor of "The Annotated Book of Common Prayer." 1 vol. imp. 8vo, 42s.; half bound in morocco, 52s. 6d.

"Infinitely the best book of the kind in the language; and, if not the best conceivable, it is perhaps the best we are ever likely to see within its compass as to size and scope. Accurate and succinct in statement, it may be safely trusted as a handbook as regards facts, while, in our judgment, this second part still maintains the character we gave the first, namely, of showing most ability in its way of treating the more abstract and metaphysical side of theological questions. The liturgical articles also in this part deserve especial mention. The book is sure to make its way by sheer force of usefulness."-Literary Churchman. "We know no book of its size and bulk which supplies the informa

tion here given at all, far less which supplies it in an arrangement so accessible, with a completeness of information so thorough, and with an ability in the treatment of profound subjects so great. Dr. Hook's most useful volume is a work of high calibre, but it is the work of a single mind. We have here a wider range of thought from a greater variety of sides. We have here also the work of men who evidently know what they write about, and are somewhat more profound (to say the least) than the writers of the current Dictionaries of Sects and Heresies." Guardian.

SERMONS. By Henry Melvill, B.D., late Canon of St. Paul's, and Chaplain in

Ordinary to the Queen." New Edition. 2 vols. crown 8vo, 58, each. "Canon Melvill's sermons were all the result of real study and genuine reading, with far more theology in them than those of many who make much more profession of theology."-Literary Churchman.

"Sound learning, well-weighed words, calm and keen logic and

solemn devoutness, mark the whole series of masterly discourses, which embrace some of the chief doctrines of the Church, and set them forth in clear and Scriptural strength."-Standard.

A DOMINICAN ARTIST: a Sketch of the Life of the Rev. Père Besson, of the

Order of St. Dominic. By the Author of " The Life of Madame Louise de France," &c. Crown 8vo, 98. "The author of the Life of Père Besson writes with a grace and daire..... Certainly we have never come across what could be more refinement of devotional feeling peculiarly suited to a subject-matter strictly termed, in the truest sense, the life of a beautiful soul.' The which suffers beyond most others from any coarseness of touch. It author has done well in presenting to English readers this singularly would be difficult to find the simplicity and purity of a holy life' graceful biography, in which all who can appreciate genuine simplicity more exquisitely illustrated than in Father Besson's career, both before and nobleness of Christian character will find much to admire and little and after his joining the Dominican Order under the auspices of Lacor- or nothing to condemn."-Saturday Review. By the same Author.

THE LIFE of MADAME LOUISE de FRANCE, Daughter of Louis XV. Known

as the Mother Térèse de St. Augustin. Crown 8vo, 68.

"The life of Madame Louise de France, the celebrated daughter of Louis XV., who became a religieuse, and is known in the spiritual world as Mother Térèse de St. Augustin. The substance of the memoir is taken from a diffuse life, compiled by a Carmelite nun, and printed at Autun; and the editor, the author of Tales of Kirkbeck,' was prompted to the task by the belief that at the present time, when the spirit of religious self-devotion is so greatly reviving in the Church of England, the records of a princess who quitted a dazzling and profligate Court to lead a life of obscure piety will meet with a cordial reception. We may remark that, should the event prove otherwise, it

will not be from any fault of workmanship on the part of the editor." Daily Telegraph.

"The annals of a cloistered life, under ordinary circumstances, would not probably be considered very edifying by the reading public of the present generation. When, however, such a history presents the novel spectacle of a royal princess of modern times voluntarily renouncing her high position and the splendours of a Court existence for the purpose of enduring the asceticism, poverty, and austerities of a severe monastic rule, the case may well be different."-Morning Post.

ANCIENT HYMNS from the ROMAN BREVIARY. To which are added,

Original Hymns. By RICHARD MANT, D.D., sometime Lord Bishop of Down and Connor. New Edition. Small 8vo, 5s.

THE PSALMS. Translated from the Hebrew. With Notes, chiefly Exegetical.

By WILLIAM KAY, D.D., Rector of Great Leighs; late Principal of Bishop's College, Calcutta. 8vo, 12s. 6d.

"Unless we are much mistaken, this handy volume will turn out one of the most serviceable, if not the most serviceable help to the understanding of the Psalter, which recent years have brought into our hands. Dr. Kay reads the Psalter simply as a Christian scholar, anxious by the aids of all legitimate rights to elucidate the meaning of the text. To our mind, his notes are models. They will not approve themselves to readers who want little sermonets on every verse, telling them what to feel and think, and saving them all trouble in the process. ST. JOHN CHRYSOSTOM'S LITURGY.

of "Sketches of the Rites and Customs of the Greco-Russian Church.'

They are terse to a degree, bristling with references, and indicating rather than working out their conclusions. We have tested them in a few important cases, and can answer for the exceeding pertinence of every word and reference and the thorough serviceableness of each note in clearing up the obscurities in question. Scholarly caution against over-statement, precision, and a vast command of Old Testament illus tration characterize the book throughout, and not a little doctrinal insight as well."-Literary Churchman.

These editions are undertaken with the concurrence of Mr. Hallam's representatives, who consider that a great injustice has been done to his literary character by the reprint of the obsolete editions after they had been superseded by the author's own careful revision, enriched by inany supplemental notes, containing the results of his latest researches. DR. WM. SMITH has therefore undertaken to prepare both works, for the use of sturlents, incorporating the author's final corrections, which are copyright, and cannot be used in ALEXANDER MURRAY's reprints nor in any other edition but those published by John Murray.

BENEDICITE; OR, THE SONG OF THE

THREE CHILDREN. Being Illustrations of the Power, Beneficence, and Design manifested by the Creator in His Works. By G. CHAPLIN CHILD, M.D.

"Taking the hymn 'O all ye works of the Lord. bless ye the Lord,' as the motive of his book, and taking each verse as the title and subject of a chapter, the author has culled from the whole range of science and natural history such facts as illustrate the power and wisdom and goodness of the Creator. It is a happy idea, very well carried out. We strongly recommend the book, especially for intelligent young people." Church Builder.

"A book marked by great beauty and simplicity of style, as well as scientific accuracy. It will satisfy the man of science while it charms and instructs the more general reader by its eloquence and variety of illustration. Such books raise and ennoble the mind of the reader by familiarizing it with the wonders of the earth and heavens, and imbuing his whole spirit with the glory of the Architect by whose Almighty word they were called into existence."-Quarterly Review.

"One of the most charming books of its kind that we have ever met with. The Astronomical chapters are models in their way; thoroughly untechnical and, we should think, extremely intelligible to persons who have had no mathematical training."-Literary Churchman.

"This is no common book. Dr. Child exhibits the innumerable testimonies of nature to the power, wisdom, and goodness of God. Full of important scientific facts, and pervaded by devout religious feeling, the book is an admirable example of the great service which eminent learning may do the cause of truth."-English Independent.

German View of the French Revolution.

Now ready, with Index, complete in 4 vols. 8vo, 48s. A HISTORY OF EUROPE DURING THE FRENCH REVOLUTION; drawn up for the most part from Unpublished Papers and Documents in the Secret Archives of Germany. By HEINRICH VON SYBEL, Professer of History at the University of Bonn. Translated from the third German edition by WALTER C. PERRY.

"Mr. Von Sybel has proved himself to be an historian of no ordinary penetration and learning. The work is an able and comprehensive review of the causes that led to the French revolution and operated generally during its progress; it contains a full and excellent account of the internal state of France at this crisis, and it has the special merit of disclosing completely, and in a great degree, for the first time, the attitude of the Continental Powers from 1789 to 1793."-The Times.

"Von Sybel's book is the first and only real history of the French revolution we have had. He has seriously and conscientiously attempted to present to us, in the judicial dignity of philosophical history, the causes and character of this great explosion which shook and changed the world. We feel that the causes and relations of events have been thoroughly investigated and philosophically estimated. The result is, that the inner life of the French people, in its relations to other nations, is thoroughly traced and laid bare to us." British Quarterly Review.
