Chapter CCXII: Conclusion (4)

Three whole chapters have been added to this work by the
American editor--one on the sonnet, one on the _rondeau_ and
the _ballade_, and a third on other fixed forms of verse; while
he has dealt freely with the English author's text, making
occasional alterations, frequent insertions, and revising the
dictionary of rhymes.

=STUDIES IN THE LIFE OF CHRIST.= By the Rev. A. M. FAIRBAIRN,
D. D., Principal of Airedale College, Bradford, and author of
"Studies in the Philosophy of Religion and History." 12mo.
Cloth, $1.50.

CONTENTS: The Historical Conditions--The Narratives of the
Birth and Infancy--The Growth and Education of Jesus; His
Personality--The Baptist and the Christ--The Temptation of
Christ--The New Teacher; the Kingdom of Heaven--Galilee,
Judea, Samaria--The Master and the Disciples--The Earlier
Miracles--Jesus and the Jews--The Later Teaching--The Later
Miracles--Jericho and Jerusalem--Gethsemane--The Betrayer--The
Chief Priests--The Trial--The Crucifixion--The Resurrection.

"These 'Studies in the Life of Christ' are not exhaustive and
critical discussions on the Gospel history, but are simply
attempts at orientation--at reaching points of view from which
the life of Christ may be understood and construed.... The
author sends the volume forth in the hope that it may help to
make the Person it seeks to interpret more real, living, and
lovable, to the men of to-day."--_From Preface._

"Professor Fairbairn's thoughtful and brilliant sketches. Dr.
Fairbairn's is not the base rhetoric often employed to hide want
of thought or poverty of thought, but the noble rhetoric which
is alive with thought and imagination to its utmost and finest
extremities."--Rev. SAMUEL COX, _in the Expositor_.

"We can scarcely describe the depth and truthfulness and power
of his teaching as given here. From the beginning to the end,
with not more than two or three exceptions, what the author says
is more than satisfactory. The volume is one more suited for
study than for mere reading; and yet, as regards the matter of
style, it is fully equal to Canon Farrar's popular delineation,
while, as regards wisdom, it is vastly superior to it."--_The
Churchman._

"These 'studies' are admirable. They are evangelical and modern,
and in thought and style of expression are strong, clear, and
fresh. They do not ignore the objections and arguments of
skeptics, but clearly Christ is to the author more than a mere
mental abstraction."--_The United Presbyterian._

=THE PRINCIPLES OF THE LAW: An Examination of the Law of
Personal Rights, to discover the Principles of the Law, as
ascertained from the Practical Rules of the Law, and harmonized
with the Nature of Social Relations.= By A. J. WILLARD. 8vo,
cloth, $2.50.

"A calm, dignified, able, and exhaustive treatise of a subject
which is of great importance to every one. Mr. Willard first
discusses the nature and origin of rights, obligations, and
powers of fundamental social law and institutional law. He
then expounds the science of law and defines the nature of all
species of obligations and contracts. A general view of rights
and powers is then brought forward, and a consideration of their
special functions, as, for instance, the use of air and water
and the principles of individual sustenance. The doctrine of
individual redress and protection is thoroughly examined, and a
long and interesting discussion follows of nuisances, wrongs,
and injuries. The characterization of dueling and the pithy and
convincing way in which its absurdity is shown are admirable.
The treatment of the subject is so clear and logical, so simple
and scholarly, that it deserves the highest praise. It is a
work such as Aristotle might have written, had he lived in this
latter day."--_Philadelphia Press._

"This is a philosophical and logical book peculiarly appealing
to scholars or lawyers who love to linger rather with legal
cause and worldly effect than reported cases or legal principles
applied to events. The author was formerly a member of the New
York bar, and lately Chief-Justice of South Carolina."--_New
York World._

"The author takes the practical rules as they exist; he concerns
himself only with their motive and harmony. He aims at treating
jurisprudence somewhat as Emerson, Darwin, Spencer have written
on ethics, nature, society."--_New York Times._

=THE ELEMENTS OF ECONOMICS.= By HENRY DUNNING MACLEOD, M. A., of
Trinity College, Cambridge; Lecturer on Political Economy in the
University of Cambridge. In two volumes. Vol. I. 12mo, cloth,
$1.75.

"Mr. Macleod's works on economic science have one great
merit, they belong to the class of books that assist inquiry
by setting their readers thinking. The views they set forth
are not only often valuable in themselves, but they are the
generative cause of ideas which may also be valuable in their
readers. His books, moreover, are written in the proper way.
The subject is divided carefully in accordance with the
opinions held by the author; all classifications when made are
adhered to, and the descriptions and definitions adopted are
admirable from his point of view, and in some cases from a wider
stand-point."--_The Statist._

"The author attempts to establish an exact science of economics
on a mathematical basis--to establish 'a new inductive science';
and he presents what he calls 'a new body of phenomena brought
under the dominion of mathematics.'"--_New York World._

"Deserving of study and thorough examination."--_Boston Post._
