MODERN

THEORIES

IN

PHILOSOPHY

AND RELIGION. By JOHN TULLOCH, D.D., LL.D., Principal of St Mary's College in the University of St Andrews; one of her Majesty's Chaplains for Scotland. Octavo, 15s.

"The volume throughout can be regarded with pleasure as an able and vigorous, though not exhaustive review of many of the most prominent schools of philosophy which have each claimed in our day the monopoly of truth-Comte, with his positive Positivism; Schopenhauer and Hartmann, with their pleasant assertion of most dismal Pessimism; Arnold, with his charming dilettanti Arnoldism, which has dethroned divine grace to promote the suave reign of human graces; Tyndall, with his evangel of science and potency of matter; Kant redivivus with his categorical imperative; and Hegel with his splendid transcendentalism. Truly a strange medley, but an interesting study withal; and in Principal Tulloch's pages there will be found a clear, fair, and able treatment of those antagonist phases of opinion, combined with that force of expression and literary power which he uniformly shows."-Scotsman.

GRANITE CRAGS.

The Yo-Semité Region

CALIFORNIA. By C. F. GORDON CUMMING, Author of 'Fire Fountains,' 'A Lady's Cruise in a French Man-of-War,' 'At Home in Fiji,' &c. Illustrated with 8 Engravings. In One Volume, 8vo. 16s.

"The careful as well as eloquent description of the character of every part of the valley, the wonderful grandeur and diversity of form in cliffs and peaks and waterfalls, and their varying aspect in morning and evening, in spring and summer, in flood and drought, forms a vivid and no doubt accurate picture, very different from the impressions of a passing tourist."-Athenæum.

[ocr errors]

"This pleasant book.......We put down the book hoping that this abrupt end may augur the speedy appearance of another volume as amusing and instructive as 'Granite Crags.' The photo-engravings are not the least attractive part of the book."-Pall Mall Gazette.

"She gracefully does the honours of this strange world of giant waterfalls and trees, depicts with graphic pen and brush the savage grandeur of the granite precipices, with the gleaming teeth of the snowy sierras as background of the picture, and introduces us to some of the grim humours of the digger's camp and the ranchman's station." -Scotsman.
