The Puritan in England and New England. By Ezra Hoyt Bington. Octavo, pp. 446. Boston: Roberts Brothers. $2.

This is a scholarly contribution to our knowledge of the social and religious life of the New England forefathers. It contains a list of authorities, and is well indexed. The introduction was written by the Rev. Alexander McKenzie, D.D.

Money and Banking Illustrated by American History. By Horace White. Paper, 12mo, pp. 498. Boston: Ginn & Co. 50 cents.

The able exposition of the currency question by Mr. Horace White, the financial editor of the New York Evening Post (reviewed in our February number), now appears in a cheap edition. It deserves the serious attention of all students of the questions of which it treats, as probably the best and clearest defense of the gold standard yet brought out in this country. Many of Mr. White's views are diametrically opposed to those set forth by General Walker in his book on international bimetallism, which we reviewed in August. Both books should be read by every intelligent voter. The Monetary and Banking Problem. By Logan G. McPherson. 12mo, pp. 140. New York: D. Appleton & Co. $1.

Mr. McPherson's recent articles on money and banking in Appleton's Popular Science Monthly, with several added chapters on other phases of the subject, have been brought out in a neat and convenient volume. The author's point of view is nearly the same as that of Mr. Horace White, but he speaks with less confidence of the infallibility of gold as the ultimate standard.

America and Europe. A Study of International Rela

tions. I. The United States and Great Britain, by David A. Wells. II. The Monroe Doctrine, by Edward J. Phelps. III. Arbitration in International Disputes, by Carl Schurz. 12mo, pp. 128. New York: G. P. Putnam's Sons.

This volume includes three important papers called out by the discussion resulting from the Venezuelan episode. The contribution of Mr. Wells is a reprint of his article in the North American Review for April, 1896, with much additional matter; that of Judge Phelps is an address which he delivered before the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences, and that of Mr. Schurz is an address at the Washington Arbitration Conference, April 22, 1896.

Assessment Life Insurance. By Miles M. Dawson. 12mo, pp. 135. New York: The Spectator Company. $1.50.

A clear and comprehensive discussion of the methods employed by insurance companies operating on what is known as the assessment plan. The history of such companies in the United States is impartially reviewed; neither of the opposite extremes in the warfare between assessment and old line" insurance systems is supported by Mr. Dawson, but an insight is afforded into what the assessment system really is, what mistakes have been made by its advocates in the past, and how it may be conducted with safety in the future. The book is a useful and original contribution to our knowledge of the subject.

Leading American Exchanges. Issued by Clapp & Co., Bankers and Commission Merchants. Quarto, pp. 360. New York.

Messrs. Clapp & Co., bankers and commission merchants, have issued their third annual souvenir book, covering the business of leading American exchanges in 1895. The letters of this firm deal with all facts that either directly or indirectly affect prices, and their comments are so brief and pointed and so well supported by figures and facts that no thinking business man can afford to be without this weekly visitor. The book is a reproduction of the weekly letters of 1895, and with them are given forty illustrations of prominent

commercial and government buildings, each of which is accompanied by a condensed history of the business done by the exchange or the department of government occupying the building shown in the picture. Hardly any question can be asked by any person in regard to bonds, stocks, grain, provisions, cotton, wool, coffee, gold, silver or other United States products that is not statistically answered in this book, and the tables are so well arranged that in very small space they generally tell the whole story for ten or twenty years past. The information about cotton is especially comprehensive.

BIOGRAPHY.

Story of the Hutchinsons (Tribe of Jesse). By John Wallace Hutchinson. With an introduction by Frederick Douglass. Two vols., octavo, pp. 495-416. Boston: Lee & Shepard. $5.

The history of the famous Hutchinson family of singers is already well known to many of our older readers. A generation back almost everybody in the North knew about the Hutchinsons and had heard them sing. Frederick Doug. lass, who just before his death wrote an introduction to these volumes, had known the family from the beginning of their career as concert singers. Other prominent anti-slavery leaders were closely associated with the Hutchinsons during many years. These facts add to the interest of the narrative which has been written by the sole surviving brother. Both volumes are liberally illustrated.

Frances Mary Buss and Her Work for Education. By Annie E. Ridley. 12mo, pp. 399. New York: Longmans, Green & Co. $2.25.

As in some sense a pioneer in the movement for the higher education of women in old England, Miss Buss held a place not unlike that once occupied by Mary Lyon in New England. This memorial volume gives a particular account of each of the educational enterprises with which Miss Buss was connected. (She died in 1893.)

Pope Leo XIII. By Justin McCarthy.

12mo, pp. 160.

New York: Frederick Warne & Co. $1.25. Justin McCarthy contributes to the "Public Men of Today" series a sketch of Pope Leo XIII. The book is writtten in Mr. McCarthy's easy, journalistic style, and in a thoroughly appreciative spirit.

RELIGION.

Social Meanings of Religious Experiences. By George D. Herron. 18mo, pp. 237. Boston: Thomas Y. Crowell & Co. 75 cents.

This little volume contains six lecture-sermons, so called, delivered by Dr. Herron first in Chicago and later at the Shawmut Church in Boston. The titles of these discourses are: "The Affections as Social Energies," " Economics and Religion," The Leadership of Social Faith," "Repentance unto Service," Material World and Social Spirit," and "The Appeal of Redemption to Progress." Dr. Herron's thought, the general tenor of which is familiar to most of our readers, is clothed in graceful and vigorous English. His utterances bear reading as well as hearing.

Patmos; or, The Unveiling. By Rev. Charles Beecher. 12mo, pp. 323. Boston: Lee & Shepard. $1.50.

An able exposition of the Apocalypse of St. John. "It is an unveiling of the difficult book of Revelation, and it is accomplished with the skill and genius which belong to the Beecher family. The early portion of the book sets forth the environment of the Apostle, the nature of the vision, and the literalness of the Apostolic descriptions. The author then proceeds to give a specific interpretation of the symbols in the light of history. The speculative portions cannot fail to command attention, the descriptions being beautiful in the extreme."

Eden Lost and Won: Studies of the Early History and Final Destiny of Man Taught in Nature and Revelation. By Sir J. William Dawson. New York: Flem ing H. Revell Company. $1.25.

These papers by Dr. Dawson originally appeared in the Expositor, and were written for the avowed purpose of calling in question the validity of what is known as the higher criticism" applied to the Hebrew Bible. The author's point of view is that of a scientist who believes that the books of the Old Testament have a peculiar value and significance to the student of nature, and who therefore exercises a jealous care for their preservation. He seems to think that they are in danger of destruction at the hands of the historical and literary critics, and that the scientists who are believers in revelation must come to the rescue. Whatever Dr. Dawson has to say as a geologist will surely receive respectful attention, but his claims to authority as an expert on ancient Hebrew texts are hardly entitled to consideration in these days of specialization.

INDUSTRIAL AND TECHNICAL WORKS.

The Mineral Industry, Its Statistics, Technology and Trade, in the United States and other Countries, to the end of 1895. Vol. IV. Octavo, pp. 886. New York: The Scientific Publishing Company. $5.

We can add little to what we have said in former years regarding the value and importance of this work. The fact that it is the statistical supplement of the Engineering and Mining Journal, under the same editorship as that authoritative periodical, should be sufficient to commend it to the scientific and commercial world. As a book of reference it is unsurpassed in its field.

Press-Working of Metals. By Oberlin Smith. Octavo, pp. 276. New York: John Wiley & Sons. $3.

A practical manual of the subject prepared by an experienced mechanical engineer. The volume contains more than four hundred plates, which are helpful to an understanding of the text and are particularly well executed. The Magnetic Circuit in Theory and Practice. By Dr. H. du Bois. Translated by Dr. Atkinson. Octavo, pp. 380. New York: Longmans, Green & Co. $4.

The author of this treatise delivered a lecture on the same subject during the International Congress of Electricians, at Frankfort, in 1891. The present volume has been prepared in response to a very general demand for a systematic and critical account, from the physical point of view, of important developments in this branch of electrical science. The book aims chiefly to summarize the most recent experimentation and inquiry. Previous development is considered only briefly.

Guns and Cavalry: Their Performances in the Past and their Prospects in the Future. By Major E. S. May, R.A. 12mo, pp. 220. Boston: Roberts Brothers. $1.25.

A series of suggestive chapters on modern gunnery written by an expert in that branch of military science. The book is illustrated with portraits of famous cavalry and artillery commanders, and by plans of battles. Animal Symbolism in Ecclesiastical Architecture. By E. P. Evans. 12mo, pp. 375. New York: Henry Holt & Co. $2.

The first thought naturally suggested to the unregenerate mind on taking up a book of this kind is the reflection that some writers manage to have a great deal to say about very slight subjects, and this is likely to be followed by a sensation of amazement that in these latter days any of them can find time to say it. In this instance, however, the author, far from claiming to have exhausted his apparently narrow theme, intimates repeatedly that he has only fairly begun its elaboration, and yet his book is a revelation of the possibil

The Scenery of Switzerland and the Causes to which it is Due. By the Right Hon. Sir John Lubbock, Bart., M.P., F.R.S., D.C.L., LL.D. 12mo, pp. 400. New York: Macmillan Company. $1.50.

Many of the questions most likely to occur to the Alpine tourist of geological proclivities are answered in this book by Sir John Lubbock, who many years ago was associated with Huxley and Tyndall in their explorations, and has since passed many vacation days in the Alps. The book is illustrated with more than one hundred and fifty diagrams and an excellent map of Switzerland. The exposition of Alpine geology is complete, lucid and entertaining. Familiar Trees and Their Leaves, described and illustrated by F. Schuyler Mathews. With over 200 drawings by the author, and an introduction by Prof. L. H. Bailey of Cornell University. 12mo, pp. 330. New York: D. Appleton & Co. $1.75.

Professor Bailey very aptly describes the class of readers to whom this book chiefly appeals. They are not botanists, who trace the veins of the leaf, count the seeds in the pod, and study the structure in the wood, but rather persons who desire to know the tree in its entirety. "They want an easy and personal method of apprehending it. They have no desire to discover or record scientific facts. They are not of the analytical turn of mind. They simply want an introduction to the trees whom they meet." Such an introduction is furnished in this book by Mr. Mathews, whose earlier work, "Familiar Flowers of Field and Garden," has performed a like service for the lovers of flowers. Mr. Mathews has been described as an artist who sees form and color without the formality of the scientist," but this is not saying that his work is in any sense inaccurate or lacking in fidelity to truth. Four-Handed Folk. By Olive Thorne Miller. 16mo, pp.

201. Boston: Houghton, Mifflin & Co. $1.25.

Mrs. Olive Thorne Miller has been known for some time as an enthusiastic and sympathetic interpreter of bird life. In venturing among the quadruped creation she finds an equally entertaining group of subjects. Some of the "fourhanded folk" about whom she discourses are strange creatures to most boys and girls-or to older people, for that matter and her descriptions of their antics are intensely interesting. Kinkajous, lemurs, marmosets and various kinds of monkeys are among the pets whose doings she narrates.

DRAMA AND CRITICISM.

Magda, a Play in Four Acts. By Hermann Sudermann. 16mo, pp. 161. Boston and New York: Lamson, Wolffe & Co.

It is not often nowadays that a drama, however successful on the stage, can be published to advantage in book form, but Herr Sudermann's " Magda " is decidedly one of the exceptions. The play is strong and forceful throughout, the characters reminding one forcibly of Ibsen and peoplethe more so since the author's style is not unlike that of the great Norwegian dramatist.

"Magda Schwartze," who has been driven from her

father's house on her refusal to marry the pastor, whom he has selected for her, returns to her native town as a famous singer. She meets there von Keller, the father of her child, whom she has not seen since she was poor and starving, but who has meanwhile become a pillar of the church in his native city and is an intimate friend of her father's. Old Lieutenant-Colonel Schwartze has never been quite sane since his daughter's flight. After being with difficulty induced to receive her, he at length discovers he: relations with von Keller, and is on the point of challenging him as the only way to wipe out the blot on his honor when von Keller offers to marry Magda. She finally consents, fearing that a refusal would kill her father, but when von Keller declines to acknowledge the child for fear of ruining his prospects she drives him from her. Her father insists that she shall keep to her word, and she then tells him in her desperation that von Keller was not "the only one in her life," which strains his overwrought brain to the breaking point and he dies. The ending is hardly satisfactory, but there is a wealth of dramatic feeling in the work, which explains its popularity on the stage. Herr Sudermann may congratulate himself on having fairly reached a pinnacle of fame, since the druggists this year are dispensing a “Magda" soda-the compound of coffee and chocolate which shocked the singer's family on her return.

The Epic of the Fall of Man. A Comparative Study of Caedmon, Dante and Milton. By S. Humphreys Gurteen, M.A., LL.D. Octavo, pp. 449. New York: G. P. Putnam's Sons. $2.50.

Mr. Gurteen's present volume is strictly what it declares itself to be a comparative study of Caedmon's and Milton's treatments of the "Fall of Man." He has included the Inferno of Dante only "to bring out, in still bolder relief, the strong and weak points" in each and does not permit himself to be diverted into the innumerable by paths which beset the way of the writer on Anglo Saxon topics, owing to the great amount of territory still unexplored. An introductory chapter on the study of Anglo-Saxon leads up to a sketch of the life and times of Caedmon, and after an analysis of "The Fall of Man," the various themes in the Anglo-Saxon poem are carefully and minutely compared with the corresponding portions of "Paradise Lost." The critical comparison is of great interest. Mr. Gurteen thinks the two poems "sufficiently similar" "to indicate a common origin," yet unlike enough to prove that Milton could have been only slightly influenced by his predecessor's work. An excellent original translation of Caedmon's poem from the Junian manuscript is appended to the volume, with some very interesting notes. Not the least attractive part of the work is the series of illustrations-fac-similes of the manuscript illuminations; they are amusingly archaic and show strikingly that pictorial art was of much later birth than poetic.
