"The book proceeds from a man of ability, a scholar and reasoner, whose discussions are conducted in a judicial method. He writes like an earnest seeker after truth, looking around at all particulars pertaining to his inquiries, and following up every question to its proper end. We have been struck with his complete mastery of the literature. He knows well all German and Dutch books relating to the criticism of the New Testament, as well as the English ones. His scholarship, indeed, is appa

more formidable assailant of orthodoxy could well be imagined. Whenever the history of Christian theology in the nineteenth century shall be written, a place of honour will belong to the anonymous author of 'Supernatural Religion.' .... Before entering on the details of the book, it is simple justice to the author to say that his acquaintance with the critical literature of his subject is as nearly as possible exhaustive.....

"Mrs. Craik is always delightfully pure, and healthful, and elevating, and she succeeds in teaching us almost without our knowing it. My Mother and I.' a passage out of the family life of the Picardys, is simply exquisite in this respect. It is astonishing how by sheer delicacy the authoress can make so much of so little..... We regard it as very exceptional, and worthy to take the place of much that passes for clever, and striking, and powerful in current fiction." British Quarterly Review.

"Purity of style, delicacy of thought, and graceful English."-Echo. "My Mother and I' is well worthy of the author of 'John Halifax, Gentleman,' and will certainly add to her well-deserved reputation, and increase the debt of gratitude which is owed to her by the women of this generation."-Literary World.

"A charming and pathetic story, which deserves not only to be read but to be remembered. Thousands have read it from month to month, and thousands more will read it in its entire shape."-Glasgow News. "A touching, noble tale; rich in shrewd thought, strong character, and tender feeling."-Freeman.

"To readers who feel bored in these hot summer days with threevolume novels and sensational plots, it will be welcome news that this fresh, graceful romance is told within the compass of a single volume, and that it deals for the most part with the every-day incidents in the quiet, unobtrusive career of two ladies. The great charm of the book consists in the author's treatment of the characters of Elma and her mother."-Leeds Mercury.

SIGNOR CAMPANELLA'S AUTOBIOGRAPHY.

MY LIFE, and WHAT I LEARNT

IN IT: an Autobiography. By GIUSEPPE MARIA CAMPANELLA. Demy 8vo. with Portrait, 148.

"The autobiography is written in admirable English, and with much vivacity and force. The contrast of the quiet, placid, old-world life, which is described in the first book, with the turbulent and sorrowful scenes through which the story passes to its close, have all the effect of literary art. It is no exaggeration to say that we have found the book most interesting merely as a story, apart from the new glimpses it gives behind the stirring scenes of the Italian Revolution." Daily News.

"My Life, and what I Learnt in It,' is likely at this time to prove of special interest. The author, Signor G. M. Campanella, passed his novitiate in a monastery in the South of Italy. Thence he was called to Rome as Cantatore Cappelano Pontefico. He soon, however, laid himself open to suspicion on account of his known Liberal views, which were not to be tolerated at the Papal Court. He was banished from the Eternal City, and 'recommended' to return to his Neapolitan convent. A brief time of hope was then dawning for Italy, to be overclouded, however, by disappointment. It was the year of revolutions, 1848; the Italian people rose in arms to drive out the foreigner that bad so long held the northern part of the peninsula in thrall. A Neapolitan battalion of volunteers was raised, and Signor Campanella accompanied these troops to Venice in the capacity of chaplain. Here he became acquainted with the well known General Pepe and the patriot Daniele Manin. The author relates his singular monastic experiences, tells of the Sistine Chapel choir, and ends with a personal narrative of the exciting scenes witnessed during the liberation of Italy. The book promises to be of unusual interest."-Court Journal.

THREE. Translated by FRANK LEE BENEDICT and J. HAIN FRISWELL. [Ready on the 14th. "Victor Hugo does not stand in need of pleading on his behalf. He has obtained the widest popularity in Europe...... His poetic sense of tenderness, beauty, strangeness, and sublimity is supreme, and in expression he is at the present day unrivalled......To conclude, 'Ninetythree' is a representation of the civil war in La Vendée, performed by a company of types that are superbly inflated by the breath of an eminent and humane poet, whose prose has the quality of song."

GREYLANDS. | ROUGH HEWN. By Mrs. Day, Author

[blocks in formation]

"A better written novel we have not read for a long time, or one more enjoyable. The highest tribute of praise, perhaps, that can be easily paid to the book and the writer is to say, that with few characters, and not many incidents, it 18, nevertheless, a novel of surpassing interest and unquestionable originality. It is altogether one of exceptional merit."-Scotsman.

"In Mrs. Compton Reade's able and vigorous novel we are indeed transported to fresh woods and pastures new' in being introduced to life in a Dorsetshire farmhouse rather more than half a century ago. This novelty is in itself a great attraction; though if Mrs. Reade can paint other scenes and characters as well as she has the gentle and dreamy Tryphena Fouke, the wicked and brutal old farmer her father, and crusty and despotic, though really good-hearted, Aunt Rachel, to say nothing of the Rev. Acts Latchet, the Methodist pastor,' we shall always be glad to meet her, whithersoever she chooses to carry us."

Small

Thus ends the narrative of Edward Crewe, and whether it will realize the author's expectations, as recorded in the preface, and be carried forth on loan by dainty ladies' from the circulating libraries, we cannot undertake to say. Our own opinion is, that it is more of a boy's book than a lady's; but then the boys must be very old boys indeed, or they will not always catch and appreciate the writer's flashes of individuality, his philosophical fun, and his numerous remarks by the way, in which experience gets the better of his story-telling.)
