This is an excellent and interesting number. Its
leading paper is an extended review of BuREET's S
History of the English Reformation, especially
with reference to the overthrow of the Roman
supremacy The writer aims Incidentally to shov
tha: doctrines recently advocated and proclaimed
by portions Of the Protestant Episcopal Church
are Identical with those then opposed and success
fully resisted by tke Great Reformers. Burnet'
work and GooDgs Rule Of Faith both recently
published in this country. are regarded as tue
ablest answers to the Tracts for the Times and the
other publications Of the Oxford Theologians. The
article is written with strength and ability IL Is
followed BY a SPIRITED and able attempt to refute
some of the principal doctrines of DR.. TA7Lof. o.
Yale College, as set forth in his Address to the
Clergy The Life and Times of John Huss fur.
nsh the theme for the third article which is mainly
abridged from a Fresch periodical. The Rule o'
Faith is the title of another able article upon Ok
fsrd Theology. The P0lity of the Methodist
Episcopal Church is nextcxp!aiued and indicated
from objections in spirited article, and this is
followed by review Of STErHEss's Incidents Of
Travel in Yucatan, in which the nature and i'm
portance Of his discoveries are well set forth and
high tribute is paid to the energy and perse-
verance with which his explorations were carried
forward. A review of DR.. OI1s's Travels in
Egypt, Arabia Peu,ea and the Holy Land, not
vet issued, we believe, bat in the press OF the
Harpers, concludes the number.

THE CRIMINAL HIsToaY THE ENGLISH GovERsMENT.
BY EUGENE REGSAuLT. j. s. Redheid, Cihlon Han.
This book seems to be careful and diligent
collection of all the outragcs PerPetratcd by the
British Government on the lives ofthose who have
stood in the way of its ambition: the catalogue is
certaiply most formidable and calculated to inn
press tho reader with thorough det9stalion OF
cruelty even when shielded by authority inlict-
ed by absolute power. Whether it leaves pro-
per ana rrue ntts.--;an af English character may
well be doubted: but it exhibits at least one side
Of the picture with ability and in coors of startling
vividness The work is now first translated from
the French by an American.
