of anecdotes and "reminiscences when can
pevcr he found in histories, and Will make
tho actors in the great drama of American
life as familiar as though they still h'ed

in the formal events Of public life. The

tone and style arc uncxccptionable, but
the author has not yet convinced us that

that his orations did not draw their great

delivery.
Passages, Incidents, and anecdotes in The
Life of Junius Br,tus Booth (tke eldT).
BY his Daughter.
The great tragcdian whose life, written
by the affcctionatc hand of his daughter,
is now before us, trod the English stage in
company with EDMUND kEAN, kEMBLE,
BARRYMORE, LIsToS, and the immortal SID
DoHs, and the reputation which he sojustly
possessed across the Atlantic attended
him in an increased degree in this country
until his death at Cincinnati in 1852. Mr..
BooTu's first appearance in America was
in this city on July G, 1921, when he open
cd at the Richmond Theatre in the cha
racter of Richard the Third. His early
life was an eventful one, and the record OF
his first struggles for fame, his chequcrcd
career, and his triumphant success in
America, cannot fail to be interesting TO
even those who do not appreciate the &C.
MUS of the tragic stage. The name of the
eminent tragcdian still lives in JrNlrS and
EDWIN BooTu, and will not soon or easily
be forgotten.

Of JOHN JACOB A>ToR, CoRNELIrs kORr-
RIGHT, VAN CAMERON, LrMAN REED, AYMEI:

Tie apostles. BY ERNEST RENAH, author
of the ellie Of Jesus" &c.
This is the continuation Of the Life q
Jesus and a portion of the History Gt Hc
origin Of christianity.
! 1t is the stated object of the work to show
how the power of the Church became estab-
lshcd after the death Of its divine founder:
to describe its organization, its trials, and
triumphs; to follow its rapid progress, and
note the birth of the great idea of distant
missions to the Gentilcs. The book gives
evidence of marked learning and research,
but it is characterised throughout by a
spirit of rationalism, and will not be well
coined as acceptable Sunday reading.
