Dandridge, Danske. Joy, and other poems. The New York Sun says of the contents of this volume: "These productions are, metrically considered, almost faultless, and exhibit a graceful and delicate fancy, with much refinement of feeling. No recent poet has more sympathetically described the varying aspects of nature." Darnell, H: Faulkner. Philip Hazelbrook; or, the junior curate: a story of English clerical and social life. Buffalo, C. L. Sherrill & Co., 1887. c. '86. 6-287 p. D. cl., $1. A young clergyman of the English Church, the son of a rich manufacturer, to whom money is no object, becomes junior curate in St. Swithin's, a poor parish in the heart of London. The story tells of his work in detail, and gives many theories about how church work should be planned and carried out. A thread of romance connects these important facts of work among the poor and the duties of the clergy towards their parishioners.

T. cl., 50 c. Hare, Augustus J. C. Walks in Paris. N. Y., G: Routledge & Sons, [1888.] 5+532 p. il. D. cl., $3. To the numerous travellers and readers who have made use of Mr. Hare's interesting guide-books the plan of this, his most recent work, is quite familiar. Its plan is nearer to that of his "Cities of Italy" than any of the earlier books, as the descriptions of famous historical places are all his own. These descriptions are supplemented by numerous citations from French writers of history or memoirs, and also by extracts from celebrated novels. The wood-cuts are from his own sketches.

The exhibit of "the principal forms and methods of government" is given in the fewest and simplest words. Where written constitutions exist they have been either quoted in their entirety or analyzed; and the different constitutions have been incidentally compared with one another. In the absence of a formal constitution, greater stress has been laid upon the historical development of national institutions. In connection with each country brief mention is made of its political position and boundaries, its area and population, and the salient facts of its financial condition. There is also an introduction on the diffusion of popular government over the surface of the globe, and on the nature and extent of international jurisdictions; to which is added a review of the chief occurrences affecting national and international government in 1887.

Zabriskie, Francis N. The Bible: a workingmen's book. N. Y., R. F. Bogardus, 4 Warren St., 1888. C. 2+14 p. O. pap., 10 c. The aim and spirit of this latest contribution to the "Labor question is indicated by its title. It seeks to arrest the growing indifference and disaffection of the working-classes towards religion, by showing that the Bible is not responsible for the injustice and inequalities which may characterize society, but is on their side, and that they repel their best friend and ally by refusing its aid and comfort.
