- "TBE RICHES OF BUNYAN," by Rev
JEREMIAH CHAPLIN is e selection of passages
from the writings of John Bunyan, accompanied
with PREDATORY notice by Rev. DR.. w. r. VIII.
LIAMs, who thus justly characterises the style o.
the 'honored tinker of Elstow: "His books more
than those of his more learned contemporaries,
Richard Baxter, and John Owen that mighty
armor.b bearer of the truth" ss Bunyan happily
calls him, were written exclusively from the re-
sources of his own personal observation. And,
in consequence of this, they have the freshness
and odors of the outer world pervading them
scents and sounds of the highways along which
in the trampings of his trade, he had plodded,
and of the hedges that had shaded him. To use
the language of the patrisrch's benediction, they
have "THE SMELL OF FIELD WHICH THE LORD
HATH BLESSED" His books are, like Walton's
Apeler of the open air, and the purling streams.
You catch, back of the good mans Bible, as he
reverently ponders and commends it, slimPses Of
rural landscapes, and Of open skies-God's beau
tiful world, still lovely, even though sin has mar
red il. Like the Sermon on the Mount, Bunyan's
page has the traits Of field preaching. And it
was So also, in his references to the inner world
of his own heart He wrote not from the dried
specimens of earlier collaboration the shrlvel
led and rusting leaves Of some old heroary-
from the philosophy and metaphysical analysis Of
other mems emotions so much as from the glow
ing records of his own consciousness and expert
ence, the fruits OF grace and plants OF righteous
ness blooming and fragrant in the watered gar
den Of his own heart And this dipping OF the
mcneil into his own soul, and into the freshness o.
nature around him, 10 doubtless part OF the
secret of his perpetual originality and unsating
| freshness"
T "PoETRY FROM THE WAVERLr NOVELS"
The idea Of collecting the notices ana otne'
snatches of poetry scattered throughout the Wa
verify Novels, originated with the Messrs Consta'
ble Of Edinburgh, who published volume, for
| that purpose. in 1912, embracing the series from
Waverley to the Pirate The present voume Is
;ptended TO complete the project ofthe Edinburgh
| publishers and comprehends all the poetry OF the
Waverly Novels supposed to be original or trans
lated by Sir Walter Scott. 1t is possible, as the
Editor suggests, that the quotations from other
authors may have slipped into the collection but
stiu il will be welcomed by the admirers of Scott
"a suggestive Of numerous past scenes OF intelec'
tual enjoyment. (l2mo. PIP. COS c. s. Francis 20
