THE CHRISTIAN REVIEW, No. XXX. June, 1918. Boston
Could Kendall & Lincoln
This is fairly interesting number of a Review
conducted with good degree of ability, and de-
voted mainly to the enforcement of moral and re-
lgious truth. The leading article is a historical
sketch Of the Jesuits-wel written, but by no
means equal to that Of STEPHEN in late number
Of the Edinburgh Review. The "Works Of
Charlotte Elizabeth" which have for few years
gious world are the subject of the second article
She is spoken of in terms of high cncomium, and
the character of her principal works is pointed out
with ccarness and discrimination. The writer,
at the conclusion Of his article, says that her mai
Gen name was Charlotte Elizabeth Murray that
she became Mrs. Phelan, the wife of an Irish Off
Ger in the British army, and is now Mrs. Tonna,
and resides at Blackhcath, near London, where
she dcvotcs her time TO the benevolent task of
preparing for the public works of moral and re-
hgious character "Ncandcr on the Parabies OF
Christ" is the subject of the next paper, to which
lspTefSed brief biographical sketch of this cele-
bTated German scholar and divine. The fourth
article is very able and interesting Review of
Prof TApPAN's work on the VIII. The writer
pays high tribute to the candor and ability of
the author but defends the system of Edwards
against his powerful attacks. Those interested
IN these discussions will read the article with
pleasure. The 'Age of Lorenzo deAIedici," is
the subject of the fifth artice--a well written,
scholarlike paper upon a subject of enduring In
lerest. The sixth article, upon the Dcve!opc-
ment Of Character in Educated Men," will per
haps be deemed more generally interesting than
any of the others. 1t discusses the subject
with no very marked ability, but in truthful and
earnest manner, which invites attention and as.

branch of the general subject, of the highest i'm
