Llorcnte's History ought to be read b. =,

This last volume volume five) has been L.,
looked for. 1t has been long delayed n
subject treated of in these pages is the fist.
of the Church of Christ in Great Britain
it is brought down to the death Of CardD.
Wolsey. 1t would have been more satisscto..
to have had the History of the ReformatoD Z
England completed but it is matter Of -
trcme delicacy for foreigner to write the ,,
ligious history of England, and the lower dow,
the narrative comes, the more likely is it to b
impugned by rival sects and church estabrA
ments. In style, this volume is equal to tbo,.
which have preceded it. 1t is lively, and GA
of anecdote. No one but Macaulay has A.,
preached D'Aubigne in imparting drana,.
interest to the historic page. We hope al
Protestants will deem it duty to be famiI,,
with this History Of the Reformation.

The history of the Covenant and Covenant
ers has been made familiar to all the world h,
the genius of Sir Walter Scott but his nara.
tive has never satisfied "the children of Aa
Covenant {" aud We have here the sober taIs
told by one who regards this Covenant as the
cornerstone of his country's greatness, and ths
contest by which it was upheld and maintaine
as one of the most glorious, in its principles
and results, the world has ever witnessed.

This work is seasonable 1t is not ne
thing for miracles to be questioned, but ther
are new ways of doing this; and if the argu-
ments of Hume are forever settled, those
Strauss, and other rationalists of the presen.
day, are to be met, as they have been, mCst
successfully, by Neander and other great thee
logians, in Germany and out of Germany And
Doctor Wardlaw has devoted the concludn:
chapter OF this work to these new doubts
these latest of skeptics. The Christian relgia
has heretofore triumphed over all the assau,
OF adyersaries, and We have no fears but tia,
champions will always be at hand, whose IA
bOrs shall conduce to the advancement an
establishment of the cause of God and Truth

Delineated. By John Angel James. New York

Washington d. C.
Mr.. James is one Of the most popular writer
upon subjects illustrative of practical pieg
This work is founded upon the homiledal
writings Of Doctor Manton, one of the great
divines elected from the pulpit in 1862, fol
non.conformity to the Church of England 10
this work Mr.. James has sought to present tia
great principle Of Spiritual Life. There is such
thing; and without it all profession of rehI
gion Ii mere matter Of taste and sentiment
We hope this work may equal in popularity
those from his pen heretofore reprinted in III
country. 1t merits wider circulation than
any one Of its predecessors, for it is a work
greater power and of greater moment.

The sufferings and sorrows of Mira Juds
have detracted none Of the warm. heartednes,
sweetness and geniality, which everybody use
to love in Fanny Forester but the scope
her vision seems to have widened under b
Indian experience. The charming vivsos
the peculiar lightness and glicty of spirit
which used to mingle with the pathos of her
stories, is now made subservient, if it is DO
wholly sacrificed, to the more serious and
weightier clements of her nature still, she s
essentially the same now as then, only stronger
and more earnest in degree The volume be-
fore us is composed of essays, stories and po-
ems--all, as stated ia the title descriptive Of
or relating to, her missionary life. Some OF the
first are replies to review and newspaper strict
ures upon the policy of foreign missions, and
are forcble and pungent if not strictly logical
arguments in favor of tho system The poems
and stories bespcak q vigorous activity OF The
old characteristics there is pleading patio
running through some of them, which one
heart cannot close itself against
