The book has a moral which may usefully be pon-
dered by young married couples.

AMONG THE REPRINTS AND CHEAP PUBLICATIONS
of the month will be found Israel Potter, by Herman
Melville (Routledge), a noticeable book, relating
the adventures of one who was a companion
and shipmate of Paul Jones, a hero of Bunker's
Hill, and a neglected outcast in his old age.
The narrative, Mr. Melville tells us, is mainly
founded upon the record which he left of his
career at his death. A Glossary of Military
Terms (Longmans) is an extremely useful manual
for military officers, and in these war times
it will be found available to explain many terms
which are in common use, though not generally un-
derstood. The compilation evinces knowledge and
judgment. Small Farms, and How they Ought to be
Managed, by Martin Doyle (Routledge), is an
epitome of farming, giving practical advice and expe-
rienced hints to amateur farmers. Every point is
treated from the choice of land to the management
of the crops and the care of the live stock. Leila
and Calderon, the Courtiers (Routledge), the two
charming tales of Moorish and Spanish life by Sir E.
B. Lytton, form the present number of Routledge's
" Railway Library." The Emigrant's Lost Son, edited
by G. H. Wall (Routledge), purports to be the his-
tory of a boy who was lost for some years in the
forests of South America. Without expressing any
opinion upon the truth of the statemer,t, we may say
that we should have preferred any original narrative
by the boy himself to the narrative of the editor.
The Library of Biblical Literature, Vol. 11. (Wm.
-Freeman), contains some Interesting articles upon
the catacombs of Rome, and upon the life and
labours of St. Paul, as well as a clear and concise
review of all the theories extant respecting the lost
tribes of Israel, with especial reference to that% work
on "The One Primeval Language" by Mr. Forster.
The fifth part of The History of the Christian
Churches, by the Rev. J. B. Marsden (Bentley),
contains the bistoty of the Greek Church, of the
Gnostic heresy, and, other sects, together with a fair
account of the Church of Ireland. Mr. Marsden's
work promises to become a valuable contribution to
popular knowledge of ecclesiastical history. The
Life of the Apostle Paul (Freeman) is a carefully-
constructed biography of the great Apostle, giving
historical reality to the facts established by diligent
investigation of the Acts and of St. Paul's Epistles.
