Forlong's Short Studies, royal 8vo. 663 pp. cloth, 28s 1897

"We record with pleasure the publication of Major J. G. R. FORLONG's Short Studies of the Science of Comparative Religions. The wide and long experience of the author, combined with the practical points of view which he has adopted, is certainly destined to bear fruit in the field of comparative mythology and religious belief. The present volume, which consists of amplifications of certain encyclopædia articles on religious terms, rites, and

symbolisms is virtually an epitome of religions, particularly those of Asia. It is intended for the general reader rather than the specialist, the former of whom will find here good representative extracts from the religious literature of the Asiatic nations, and a brief digest of their main tenets and beliefs. A number of illustrations and several excellent maps that are invaluable in such studies accompany the text."-The Open Court, September, 1897.

Greek Church (Sacred Books of the):

BOOK OF NEEDS of the Holy Orthodox Church, done into English, by G. V. SHANN, 18mo. (pub. at 78 6d sewed), sd. 28 6d; cloth, 38 6d

Comprises the special Prayers of the Greek Church for all periods and events of life, including such as illustrate the manners and customs of the Eastern Christians.

"Book of Needs" is an exact English rendering of a Russian Church Office Book,

1894

which, outside the Mass, regulates the ordinary life of Christians of the Eastern Rite; and as such, is very interesting to that considerable number of "AngloCatholics" who are desirous of intercommunication" with the Eastern Orthodox Church.

11 BRADFORD (William) History of the Plimoth Plantation, containing an account of the voyage of the "MAYFLOWER," reproduced in facsimile from the original MS. with an introduction by JOHN A. DOYLE, folio, cloth 1896

"THE LOG OF THE MAYFLOWER.-To the Editor of the Times. Sir,-It may probably interest your correspondent, Mr. Howard Evans, and others if we mention that, by the kind permission of the Bishop of London, we published last year a photozincographic facsimile reproduction of the Bradford MS. "The "Mayflower" Log,' which is now to be restored to the United States.

"Our reproduction was, by arrangement, limited to 350 copies; but some copies are still to be had through the usual channels.

[ocr errors]

·

"Governor Bradford's MS. is insufficiently described as The "Mayflower" Log.'
It contains the log and the names of those who sailed in that vessel; but far more,
also, than this it covers a period of forty years, from 1606 to 1646. For the life of
the fugitives (from Scrooby) while in Holland, and for the negotiations which brought
about their emigration to America, it is the only authority.' For the early struggles
of the Pilgrims in New England it is our main authority. And for the political and
economical history of the colony during the years when its corporate and organic life
was a-making Bradford is our only witness.' The title chosen by Governor Bradford
himself for the MS. is Of Plimoth Plantation.'-WARD AND DOWNEY."
The Times, April 5th, 1897.
