agriculture, religions and social conditions, and contemporaneous
European history.

“The volume is on the whole an interesting result of much labour,
written with considerable vigour and insight, and summing up better
than any other work yet produced the various phases and aspects of
that surprising development—the birth of a new race.”

=Channing, Edward.= History of the United States. 8v. v. I, Planting of a nation in the New world. **$2.50. Macmillan.

Volume I., of a history of the United States which is designed to
trace as one unbroken development the founding of the thirteen
colonies by immigrants, mainly from England, the achievement of
independence from English control, the Union under the Constitution,
the growth of the United States, territorially and socially, and the
final welding of the American people into a great nation. The present
volume carries the account down to 1660. At the end of each chapter
have been placed for advanced students in history technical
discussions and bibliographical matter.

“In scholarship the work easily leads any other attempt of the kind.
The style is clear, pleasing and admirably simple. If it lacks the
literary flavor of some of the more popular histories, there is the
compensating charm of deep knowledge and plain-spoken truth. The only
adequate estimate of this work is to state frankly that it stands in
the forefront of scholarly efforts to tell the history of this
country.” C. H. Van Tyne.

=Chapman, Edward Mortimer.= Dynamic of Christianity. **$1.25. Houghton.

This study of the vital and permanent elements in the Christian
religion takes the stand that an effort to reconcile science and
religion would be “like an attempt to harmonize the fact of sunrise
with the joy of walking and working in the light.” “The inevitable
conclusion of his study is the conviction of the truth and value of
Christ’s own doctrine of the spirit as the imminent and resident force
in the universe, the ground of phenomena, physical and spiritual.”
(Pub. Opin.)

“In the first place, its style is excellent, possessing the easy
dignity of true culture, and the simple directness of a finished
instrument of English expression; in the second place, the book shows
wide reading in the modern literature of religious experience and
criticism. Mr. Chapman’s philosophy is not solid enough, and his
history is totally inadequate.”

Cincinnati southern railway (The): a history; edited by Charles G. Hall.

A novel municipal experiment is recorded in the history of the origin,
construction and financial organization of this railroad. As early as
1836 the need of a railway between Cincinnati and the South was felt
so strongly that at a mass meeting held in Cincinnati one million
dollars was subscribed for the enterprise. Before anything definite
could be accomplished, the Civil war came and checked all such
projects. After many delays, authority was secured from the
legislature of Ohio as well as from those of Kentucky and Tennessee,
and in 1873 the actual work of construction began, necessary funds
being lent by the trustees from their own pockets. In July, 1877, the
first division of the road was opened for business. Millions of
dollars were raised by the sale of bonds, and the road is at present
in the possession of the Cincinnati, New Orleans and Texas Pacific
railway co. as lessee, while the Cincinnati Southern holds the legal
title for the city of Cincinnati. The lease expires in 1906.

A pathetic story of a Quaker maid, living the quiet life of the
Friends and all but betrothed to a serious minded young neighbor. A
dashing southerner and his frivolous sister come into the peaceful
community, the sister to prove to the stern young Quaker that he has
his frailties, and her brother to win the heart of the little Quaker
maid. There is a description of a visit to their southern plantation,
and then comes the war—and heart break and disaster. An Anglican
minister and his devoted wife add humor to the story.

by all means go back to his old humorous methods.”

“The familiar principle that the proper design of punishment is

to the problem of retribution. Mr. Clarke works out a Biblical
doctrine that aims to avoid the objections made severally to the
theories of endless retribution, annihilation, and universalism.
Substantially, it is a purgatorial scheme. In this the Biblical
antithesis to ‘salvation’ is not ‘damnation’ but ‘judgment,’
corrective as well as punitive.”—Outlook.

religious education is the “genuine mingling of a developed life in
the interests and occupations of an undeveloped life.” (Bib. World).
The best field for religious training is in the home, where the most
free and natural relations exist. It is by revealing a sincere and
self-sacrificing attitude toward life that a religious influence can
be exerted.
